Background of the Study
Cloud storage solutions have revolutionized data management in academic institutions, offering scalability, remote access, and cost-effectiveness (Ogunleye & Okon, 2024). However, concerns over data security, unauthorized access, and compliance with regulatory policies remain key challenges. Universities store sensitive information, including research data, student records, and financial details, making secure cloud storage a priority (Adewale et al., 2023).
Several secure cloud storage solutions, such as Google Drive, OneDrive, and private cloud infrastructures, offer encryption, access control, and backup mechanisms to safeguard data. However, the effectiveness of these solutions varies based on implementation, compliance with security standards, and institutional policies. This study aims to evaluate secure cloud storage solutions in Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, to determine their effectiveness in protecting institutional data.
