C. Developing and SUB-TOPIC 1: DIFFERENT CLOUD STORAGE PLATFORMS
Deepening
Understanding 1. Explicitation
Have you ever filled your phone’s storage with games, photos and videos?
Sometimes, our devices simply don’t have enough space for everything we want to
keep. This is why there is a need for Cloud Storage.

Cloud Storage
Cloud Storage is believed to have
been invented by a computer
scientist Dr. Joseph Carl Robnett
Licklider in the 1960s. Cloud
Storage is a way to save data
securely online so that it can be
accessed anytime from any location
and easily shared with those who
are granted permission.

Cloud Storage is a cloud computing Figure 1. The Framework of Cloud Storage (Wu et al., 2018)

model in which data is stored on

remote servers and accessed over the internet or through a dedicated private
network connection. Cloud Storage allows data to be accessed from anywhere. In
general, cloud storage operates through a web-based application programming
interface (API) that is remotely implemented through its interaction with the client
application’s in-house cloud storage for input/output (I/O) and read/write (R/W)
operations.

How does Cloud Storage work?

a. Think of a Big Library. Cloud Storage is like a giant library with millions of
digital lockers. Instead of books, these lockers hold your files, pictures,
music, and anything else you want to keep safe.
b. Rent Your Own Locker. These lockers are managed by companies like Google
Drive or Dropbox. They “rent” you a space in the cloud to store your stuff.
Just like a real locker, you have your own password to keep your files safe
and private.
c. Reach for your Files from Anywhere. The best part? You can access your cloud
storage locker from any device with an internet connection. Whether you’re on
your phone, computer or even a friend’s tablet, you can open your locker and
grab the files you need.

Why use Cloud Storage?

a. Safe and Sound. Your files are stored securely on a powerful server, so you
don’t have to worry about losing them if your device gets broken or misplaced.
It’s like having a backup copy of everything.

4
 b. Sharing is Caring. Cloud storage makes it easy to share files with friends and
family. Just invite them to your locker, and they can access specific files or
folders you choose. This is perfect for collaborating on school projects.
c. Always Available. No more searching for that lost USB drive. With cloud
storage, your files are always accessible from any internet connection. It’s like
having your own personal digital library at your fingertips.

Pros and Cons of Cloud Storage

As with any other cloud-based technology, cloud storage offers some distinct
advantages. But it also raises some concerns for companies, primarily over security
and administrative control.

Pros. Cloud Storage offers several advantages:

a. Reduced Workload. You don't need to manage the physical storage
infrastructure (e.g USB drives, Portable Hard Disks, etc.)
b. Fast Setup. Cloud Storage is quick and easy to implement, allowing you to
use it within hours.
c. Cost-efficient. You only pay for the storage you use, making it a flexible
expense.
d. Scalability. Cloud storage can easily grow your needs, offering virtually
unlimited capacity.
e. Disaster recovery. Offsite storage protects your data in case of physical
disasters.

Cons. While Cloud Storage offers numerous benefits, it is important to acknowledge

some potential downsides:
a. Security Concerns. Data breach can be a worry with cloud storage. Though
providers strive for robust security, occasional incidents raise user concerns
about data confidentiality.
b. Limited Control. Offloading data management to a cloud service provider offers
advantages, but it can also restrict your control over the data. You might not
have complete freedom to access, move, or view your data whenever you
want.
c. Potential Delays. Latency or delays in transferring data to and from the cloud
can occur. This is especially true if you rely on shared public internet
connections with high traffic. While cloud providers can improve bandwidth
to minimize latency, it is still a factor to consider.

5
 d. Compliance Challenges. Strict data privacy and archival regulations in certain
industries, like healthcare and finance, might restrict the use of cloud
storage. Certain types of files, such as medical records or investment
documents, might not be suitable for cloud storage due to these regulations.

Cloud Storage is a fantastic tool, but it is important to use it responsibly. Just like
you would not share your locker key with everyone, keep your cloud storage
password safe and only share files with people you trust.

Different Cloud Storage Platforms

There are so many cloud storage apps these days. Choosing a Cloud Storage
depends on the features, connection, and user friendliness. Here are five widely used
Cloud Storage.

1.
Google Drive is a cloud-based storage device that enables users to
store and access files online.

2.
OneDrive is the Microsoft cloud service that connects you to all your
files, stores and protect your files, share them with others and access
them from any device.

3.
Dropbox is a popular cloud file storage or file hosting service which
enables individual users and businesses to store, locate, manage and
share.

4.
Jottacloud is a practical cloud storage and backup solution with
state-of-the-art security policies and impressive storage capabilities.

accessibility and scalability. However, with the convenience of storing our personal
and professional lives online comes the crucial question of security. Sensitive
information entrusted to cloud providers raises concerns about data breaches,
unauthorized access, and potential loss of control.

Security Threats and Challenges of Cloud Storage

1. Data Breaches. Cloud Storage provides, despite robust security measures,
are not immune to cyberattacks. Hackers constantly develop new methods
to exploit vulnerabilities, potentially exposing user data.
2. Insider Threats. Security breaches also originate from within a cloud
provider’s organization. Malicious insiders with authorized access could
potentially compromise user data.

7
 3. Data Loss. Accidental deletion, hardware failures, or natural disasters can
lead to data loss in cloud storage systems, although most providers offer
redundancy and backup solutions.
4. Shared Responsibility Model. The security of cloud-stored data is shared
responsibility between the provider and the user. Providers implement
security measures but users also need to be aware of best practices, such
as using strong passwords and enabling two-factor authentication.

Best Practices for Users to Secure Cloud Storage

1. Strong Passwords. Utilize complex and unique passwords for your cloud
storage accounts. Avoid using easily guessable information.
2. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Enable two-factor authentication for an
extra layer of security. This requires a second verification step, such as a
code sent to your phone, in addition to your password.
3. Selective Sharing. Be mindful of what information you store in the cloud and
who you share it with. Avoid strong highly sensitive data unless absolutely
necessary.
4. Regular Backups. Maintain regular backups of your critical data, even if it is
stored in the cloud. This provides an extra layer of protection in case of
accidental deletion or other unforeseen events.
5. Stay Informed. Keep yourself updated on the latest security threats and best
practices for cloud storage security.

2. Worked Example

Title: Securing Your Cloud Storage

Objective: To understand and implement security measures for cloud storage.
