Top 4 Cloud Storage Services For Improved Data Security

2014-10-31by Jenny Campata

As the owner of your business, it falls on you to search and choose a cloud storage service that will meet all your data storage needs and provide your data with the best security. For your convenience, here is a list of popular cloud services that also offer topnotch security:

Dropbox
Dropbox is one of the most popular cloud services in the industry; its free service is widely used by individuals to store, transfer and sync personal data on the cloud. For businesses, Dropbox offers a separate service. For a price of $795 per year, you get 1 Terabyte of storage space and 5 user access to the data.

Dropbox for business also provides beefed-up security for their corporate clients. The stored files are secured with 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). For additional security, you can use CloudBacko to encrypt your data before you transfer it to the cloud.

Amazon S3
The ecommerce giant, Amazon, also entered the cloud backup business with its 'Simple Storage Service', or the Amazon S3. It gives you complete control over how and where the data can be accessed. Amazon S3's ACLs (Access Control Lists) lets you control the type of access you want to give to each user. The download and upload of data is done via SSL encrypted points. The S3 uses SSE (Server Side Encryption) to keep your data secure inside the cloud.

Box
Box is the ideal cloud storage service for businesses looking to centralize their data in one location. It allows multiple user access to the data, so your employees can collaborate and work with each other seamlessly. With high-grade multilayered security, it also offers one of the most secure online storage services. Plus, the service includes deletion and expiry control features that protect the integrity of your data as well. CloudBacko allows you to monitor the integrity of your data whenever you need to.

Google Drive
Google's cloud backup service, Google Drive, can be conveniently integrated with other Google services and products- a convenience that is mostly lacking in other cloud storage services. Reasonably priced at $120 per year, per user, it gives you 1 TB of storage space. The security levels provided by Google Drive are in compliance with the industry standards.

The cloud storage services mentioned above will provide you with reasonable security for your data, but the smart thing to do would be to not rely completely on the security of the cloud services. You should invest in an independent tool, like CloudBacko, to ensure maximum security of your data.
