Testing The Privacy And Security Cloud Storage

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It is durable, highly available, and secure. Amazon S3 also stores multiple redundant copies of data.

Dropbox is a file hosting service that backs up and saves files. It is an application that can be downloaded on a phone or computer. It serves as a backup to give customers extra storage for important documents. It is a free service for everyone, to upgrade the storage size there is a charge. I had heard of Dropbox but never actually used it. I think it is a very smart investment especially for college students

Amazon: RESTful Amazon cloud drive is the APIs used by amazon. And it provide access to images, videos and filed document which users have saved in the cloud drive and also gives access to you to interact with million of other customer who are using amazon cloud drive.

Cloud because of its wide range of applications it allows users to store data their data remotely in the cloud and enjoy the on-demand high quality cloud applications and reveal burden from the local storage, cost and maintenance. In this according to the user’s perspective, including both individuals (private) and enterprises like companies appealing the cloud benefits by storing data remotely into the cloud in a flexible on-demand manner and relief of the burden of storage management along with this he/she can also enjoy the universal data access which dependent geographical locations and avoidance of the capital expenditure, software, hardware and personnel management and maintenances and so on.

This cloud option allows me to have similar functionality to what online storage options would provide; I can backup files from all of my computers and also have access to do so from my mobile devices. My Cloud has incredibly fast upload speeds and is highly rated for its industry leading password protection and encryption. Having 2TB of space available for storage on the cloud would allow for sufficient file storage of all four users currently as well as allow for the eventual growth of the network as well.

Cloud storage is a growing tech trend. Making use of cloud computing technology, cloud storage services give you password-protected access to online storage space. You can upload files to this storage space as a backup copy of content from your hard drive, as additional space to supplement your hard drive, or just to make those files available online from other computers or mobile devices.

Usage of remote servers via internet to store, manage and process data instead of using a personal computer is known as Cloud computing. It’s a set of Information Technology services with the ability to scale up or down their service requirements. Most of the cloud services are provided by a third party service provider. In cloud computing, organizations can utilize IT services without in advance investment. Despite its benefits obtained from the cloud computing, the organizations are slow in accepting it due to security issues and challenges. Security is one of the major problems which hinder the growth of cloud. It’s not wise to handing over the important data to another company; such that clients need to be vigilant in understanding the risks of data infringement in this new environment. This paper discusses a detailed analysis of the cloud computing security issues and challenges. (Ayoleke)

Cloud computing is a topic of which much is assumed. The average person recognizes the term “cloud computing” as having to do with their storage from their iPad or iPhone on the online storage area which syncs their Apple devices to their computer. This common cloud is called the iCloud. That is where common knowledge ends about this topic. However, upon further exploration, a deeper understanding is gained with greater explanation, and it is realized that cloud computing is something that is used all of the time on many levels of everyday technology. While the terminology remains cryptic to the mind of most people, the concepts behind the practical uses of cloud computing become quite clear. It is relatable and understandable. Upon this revelation, the iCloud is recognized as the tip of the preverbal iceberg when speaking about cloud computing. It is important to discuss and further understand the many types of cloud computing as well as the various applications to life through technology. This affects how information is stored online, computers are protected, information is secured, emails are processed, and many other factors that are taken for granted in the world of technology. Cloud computing is a general term used to describe how information is stored, utilized, and accessed over the internet. There is no cloud, but the word cloud gives the connotation of an abstract place which is known to exist but is too vast to touch or contain (Griffith,

The launch of Western Digital My Cloud has caused reactions among many skeptics who believe that entrusting your data to a cloud service is foolish. However, My Cloud stands out of many new technology gadgets. The device puts a service just like Dropbox in your own home, combining it with the functions of a media server. The Western Digital My Cloud is on sale with 2TB or 3 TB for £134, respectively £154.

The next cloud we look at is Google Drive, which is one of the best in my opinion to save files on. Making, sharing, and downloading files from google drive is one of the easiest tasks at hand. Google drive lets you share with others that have a drive account. One of it’s features that some drives do not have, is there is an app version of the drive so you can use it on almost any device of your choosing. There is also an offline feature that allows the user to still view the documents they have created or saved, the more recent version of google drive lets you use the offline version as an editing tool too. One of the downfalls from google drive is if you have no internet then the drive will not work unless you only want to view a already edited document.

The surge in advancements in distributed systems and networking technology and the advantages that it has brought along with it, has many individuals and organizations move from local to remote cloud storage [1]. Cloud storage falls under Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in the series of cloud services where in, a user’s or organization’s data is stored in a nexus of remote servers. Cloud infrastructures can be broadly classified as either public or private. The remote servers provided by public cloud storage service, preserves the unhindered and efficient accessibility of a local storage server along with transparency while customers/users has access to their data. While there are benefits to using a public cloud infrastructure, it poses significant privacy and security risks [2]. The goal of this research is to obtain the degree of security that is indigenous to a private cloud environment in a public cloud environment with respect to data storage. To achieve such degree of security [1], a public cloud storage service should provide (at least):

The National Institute of Standards and Technology describes cloud storage as a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand network access to a shared configurable computing resources that can be swiftly accessed and released with minimal effort or service provider collaboration. It is comprised of a collection of hardware and software that allows the infrastructure of the cloud to work in a seamless, unified effort. Depending on the classification of information and the service provider the remote servers can be located within the same facility. The stored data is

storage instead of creating single files on the hard drive. I am convinced that cloud storage

To study a system which will help to secure data stored on the cloud storage system. This system may be helpful to for users who wants secure thier data as well as for companies who wants to give access permission to limited data to their employees and secure their data in cloud storage system.

Automatic storing features, you can easily store your data in Dropbox, rackspace cloud, stash and many more.
