How much of space is allotted to my account to create projects?
According to the website, there is no limitation on the size of a code that can be written. But as my projects get saved to my mbed account, how many of such can be saved?
Also, are my projects stored on cloud or somewhere else?

There seems to be a limit to the total number of files visible in the online compiler. Not the total number of files in your account, just the number visible in the compiler. If you hit that limit then you can't create a new file. If you ever have that issue you can hide some of your older projects (click on MyPrograms and un-check the box next to them) and the problem goes away.
The files are on the mbed server which is connected to the internet. Whether that counts as the cloud depends on your definition.

Hi Akshay Kamath,
There is no specific limit on storage space. The terms allow us to limit access and remove content. Unless the usage was malicious we would try to talk to any user before imposing any restrictions or removing anything.
I'm not sure what you'd define as "on cloud". Your files are stored so that you can access them from the internet, which could be reasonably considered to be in the cloud. In the future we may host some, or all, of our services on 3rd party cloud infrastructure. So I think the safe answer is yes, your projects are in the cloud. Do you have specific concerns about the cloud?

I have no problems with cloud. I just wanted to know where my files are saved. As in Gmail gives me by default 15 GB of space to save my emails and other files and saves it on Google Drive. But now my doubt is cleared as pointed out by Andy A - The files are stored on mbed server. I was just curious to know. Thank you.
