A digital locker or cyberlocker is an online file or digital media storage service. Files stored include music, videos, movies, games and other media.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/digital-locker )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-digital-locker.htm )〕 The term was used by Microsoft as a part of its Windows Marketplace in 2004.〔 By storing files in a digital locker, users are able to access them anywhere they can find internet connections.
