Abstract: The increase of data for individuals and businesses leads to be protected due to avoiding any unacceptable loss. Cloud storage services providers guarantee to give a solution to this difficulty. In current times, cloud storage service demand has increased a significant way. They give user-friendly interface, free storage or pay-as-you-go to store, manage, synchronize, share, automatically back up data and download. In addition, businesses and a part of individuals hesitate to utilize cloud storage services due to losing control over it. Many obvious attacks on cloud storage providers have annoyed these concerns. Cloud Storage aims to improve efficiency and productivity in terms of securing the data. The data stored on the cloud must be secure while transiting, sharing or resting at the data centers or servers. Securing includes that the cloud storage providers (insiders) cannot understand or read the stored data as plaintext. In this investigation, we have to examine the security mechanisms and key management of popular cloud storage services based on an online survey of how many users for each cloud storage provider: Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon Drive and Mega. The investigation will help the users to consider services.
Keywords: Cloud Storage Service Providers, Cloud Security, Encryption, Key.
