Top 10+ Cloud Storage Providers to Protect Data Privacy

Last Updated: March 27, 2017 by Kumar Radhakrishnan Leave a Comment

If you have been searching for cloud storage for a while, you probably know that there are a lot of security concerns with it. People do want to have access to their content on every gadget that they use, but they want the best security too, which most of these companies are not able to provide, because of their cheap plans and other users who just want to get on the backside of the system.

But, as you know, nowadays most of the businesses need mobility and their data in one of the most important things. In fact, their data is the only thing that they want to protect, because most other things can be achieved again with little to no hard work, but if they lose their data, they will have to work more and more years to achieve what they’ve lost. And in this digital world, where people solely rely on internet for most of the information they receive, security of that information has become the most important aspect of the tech industry.

Below are the 10 best Providers of Cloud Storage that also provide state-of-the-art security:

Table of Contents

  • 1 Back Blaze
  • 2 Carbonite
  • 3 Hightail
  • 4 Live Drive
  • 5 Super Sync
  • 6 Bitcasa
  • 7 SOS Online Backup
  • 8 Spider Oak
  • 9  Tetraupload
  • 10 Tresorit

Back Blaze

Unlimited Online Backup - Easy, Secure Online Backup Services Backblaze

This company is better described as the Critical Mission Facility provider. Back Blaze focuses more on the security side of their cloud storage, than their sales. They believe that providing their existing customers with exceptional services and security, they can win more and more customers with the word of mouth of their existing customers. They have pretty unique security measures that cannot be easily infiltrated. First, they de-duplicate and divide the user data into different blocks, then they encrypt it and transfer that for backup, when the backup is complete, they decrypt the user data, re-duplicate it, and then pack it for recovery. At first it might sound overwhelming, but that overwhelming is legit, because these securities cannot be easily defeated. It functions somewhat like the Bitcoins, except that Bitcoin is decentralized, while Back Blaze is a centralized cloud storage provider.

Carbonite

Carbonite Cloud Backup Services - Online Computer Data Backup

One should not get overwhelmed by knowing that Carbonite is being HIPAA certified. This was not enough, they have security guards all over their place round the clock throughout the year, and if you want to have access to their facility, you will have to go through the biometric scanners placed at different entry points.

This sounds like the movie Ocean Twelve, but instead of the case with cash, here the case is filled with information. Carbonite is unbreakable, because of their security measures, but one thing that might put people off, is that they use SSL technology to transmit their data. And if that doesn’t put you in the danger zone, go ahead and get your data hosted on Carbonite. You can view their pricing here.

Hightail

 File Sharing, Send Large Files, Access Files from Any Device Hightail

If you are someone who wants to share their data with other people, but give them only limited access to it, Hightail is for you. Formerly known as YouSendIt, they have given the flexibility to their user base to share their files. But users should keep in mind that doing so is not so safe nowadays, because who knows what kind of person will be viewing their information. And to avoid unwanted use of your data, you can also set a date of expiry on which you friends will not have access to your file. Moreover, if you are sharing something sensitive, you can always encrypt it with passwords, set up verification protocols and tracks the file reports.

They store this data using the AES encryption of 256-bit, which is not easy to break, unless someone is able to design their own shell. Hightail has been certified by TRUSTe, , SOC 2 Type II, SAS 70 Type 2 ,PCI, GLBA and HIPAA. Overwhelmed by their certifications? Your will be more overwhelmed when you view their pricing plans.

Live Drive

 Cloud Storage & Unlimited Online Backup I Livedrive

You think that your password would be stolen if you log into a website that does not possess the SSL option on their login page? Live Drive is for you to make you feel home, because they provide everything you’ll ever need from a cloud storage. From encrypting their data with encryption AES 256, to storing your information on several servers to make it difficult for hackers to track your information, they have everything.

Ask yourself a question; what else do you need from a cloud storage service? If your answer is no, go ahead and check their pricing plans, because there is only one thing that is stopping you from getting state-of-the-art cloud storage provider, and that’s the payment page (which is again secured with an SSL connection).

Super Sync

 SuperSync - Merge, Compare, Repair, Access, & Explore Your iTunes Libraries

Another great cloud storage provider, but they don’t have those certifications. Like other providers, they too store their data with the 256-bit AES encryption, and they use the handshake protocol to verify the connection. The handshake protocol put me in thought about how unique it may be, and this is the main attraction to SuperSync. Also, they allow you to wipe all your data if you think that someone else is having access to your account. Attracted? Check out their pricing here.

Bitcasa

 The Bitcasa Platform -- Your Customers_ Your Brand_ Your Cloud

One thing that I like about Bitcasa is that their employees cannot access our data once it is uploaded on their servers. Other providers are not able to mention whether they allow access to their employees or not, but Bitcasa’s approach has been straight forward. Also, their service is user friendly that allows you to upload any file in their servers without having to select each and every file every time. Now is the drag and drop world, and Bitcasa allows you to do exactly the same.

SOS Online Backup

SOS Online Backup I Infinite Cloud Storage, Encrypted Automatic Backup
If you want a cloud storage that focuses more on a small business or on a personal level, SOS is for. There were many providers, who focus on storage by mentioning their awesome encryption services, but this one got a lot of attention, and it was for good. Because SOS has been working that hard to keeps their user database increasing every time.

They encrypt your data 3 times. First they encrypt your data locally. Second, during upload, and third, when the data is being uploaded on their server. They claim that they are “ultra safe”, which is true. Another thing that attracted a lot of people is that, they use security measures and equipments of military grade to make sure that hackers are ready to face the consequences after getting the information they want. Check out their pricing, because anyone can afford it.

Spider Oak

SpiderOak I Online File Sharing & Cloud Backup Software
Easily one of my best choices, because not only they do provide the most secure platform to store files in the cloud, they have duplicated their our storage system, so that hackers would not be able to know where the real storage area is. They have several other services; for instance, they have their Crypton, which allows the users to build apps that are completely private. They believe that people should have complete online privacy, because it is their right, and keeping that in mind, they have founded the Privacy organization of Zero Knowledge.
