Business cloud storage

Business cloud storage is cloud storage built for companies: files are stored centrally on a provider's servers, access rights are set per team, an audit log makes access traceable and a data processing agreement governs the processing.

What is business cloud storage?

Business cloud storage means storing company files on a provider's servers, which employees access over the internet from different devices. The company manages the storage itself: administrators decide who sees which folder.

How does business cloud storage differ from consumer cloud storage?

  • Central administration of users, groups and rights
  • Granular access rights per team, project and external partner
  • An audit log that shows who opened or shared which file
  • A data processing agreement (DPA), as the GDPR requires
  • A clear server location and applicable law

What else should companies look for in business cloud storage?

  • Encryption in transit and at rest
  • GDPR compliance and audited security
