Own Cloud Storage Using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

The research proposes a solution to the problem of relying on third-party cloud storage services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and iCloud. The proposed solution involves creating a personal cloud storage using a Raspberry Pi and an external hard drive. This way, the user can have full control over their data and determine the amount of memory they need for storage. One of the main concerns with using third-party cloud storage services is security. By creating a personal cloud storage using Raspberry Pi, the user can ensure that their data is secure and not accessible to other users. Additionally, the user does not have to pay a hefty amount of money to use these services, as they can use their own external hard drive as a cloud storage device. To access the data stored in the external hard drive, the research suggests using ownCloud. This way, the user can access their data from any device with an internet connection, making it easy and convenient to use. Overall, the proposed solution offers a practical and cost-effective alternative to relying on third-party cloud storage services. Key Word: Cloud storage, Low-cost, Raspberry Pi.
