Information is constantly at our fingertips, and our data may no longer be physically within the four walls of an office. With billions of users using cloud storage, it is important to discuss the value of this data source from an evidentiary and investigative standpoint.

There are benefits to storing data with cloud storage services. For example, cloud storage allows a user to free up storage on local devices, share large files and access data from multiple devices. Many cloud storage services offer limited storage at no cost, but upgrading to a paid subscription may allow for more storage and advanced features for account management. When data is uploaded to a cloud storage service, the data is stored on servers at data centers around the world. The data is accessible via an app, a website or a software program. Files and folders can be uploaded, organized and shared with others.
