Cloud storage lets users share data with anyone, anywhere, and anytime, through an internet connection. Cloud storage providers store data on servers they manage and own. This is commonly referred to as “the cloud.”
Secure cloud file sharing can help companies cut costs, increase collaboration and gain insights. It also can help protect against data loss which could be caused by hardware failure, human error or natural disasters.
With an encrypted data sharing platform you can access live data across the organization and manage access to the data to allow for better collaboration. Companies must be able to share data between public and private cloud to take advantage of the most beneficial features of each.
To ensure that data is shared securely with a provider of cloud services, you must have the appropriate tools, technology, and solutions. This includes having a data classification and handling process in place to define the manner in which cloud data should be shared. It is vital to have the right guidelines for governance so that only authorized users are able to access sensitive information.
The use of multi-cloud services and environments is increasing and a lot of organizations want to use the best solutions for specific scenarioswhether on-premises or in different clouds. For example, a company might choose to deploy its Databricks deployment in a public cloud, and another data processing service -such as BigQuery on-premises or in a private cloud.
