Abstract

In today’s digital age, cloud storage services have revolutionized the way data is stored, accessed, and shared across multiple devices and locations. The primary role of these platforms revolves around storage and access, and they are now vital in many areas. However, the rise of cloud computing has brought new challenges to researchers and professionals. Go Drive Net is being used in this study as a research tool to examine user data that persists after various methods of cloud storage, uploading, and accessing data are explored. Cloud Storage also provides a model as a storage service that provides storage facilities to the users via the Internet. By analyzing user software data, network connection captures, memory captures, and other available data. This study aims to provide experts and analysts with a deeper understanding of the types of data that remain on various devices. By connecting users, Go Drive Net not only improves productivity and collaboration but also provides data security through encryption technology. It also enables data renaming, deletion, sharing, migration, user search, and communication. As cloud computing continues to shape the future of IT, it enables organizations to respond to technological change more quickly, efficiently, and innovatively.


Research Objective

To examine user data persistence in cloud storage after various methods of cloud storage, uploading, and accessing data, and to develop a unified platform (Go Drive Net) that integrates cloud storage with social networking features to enhance productivity, collaboration, and data security.


Methodology

The study involved the development of a web application, Go Drive Net, using a client-server approach. The frontend was built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, utilizing AJAX. The backend was developed using PHP, and data was stored in a MySQL database. Security measures included AES-128-CTR encryption for sensitive data and HTTPS for secure communication. The methodology involved system overview, system design (software and hardware architecture), data flow analysis, and implementation of features such as real-time chatting, cloud storage, friend management, and data sharing.

Discussion

The paper discusses the evolution of cloud computing and cloud storage, highlighting the need for integrated solutions that go beyond basic storage. Go Drive Net addresses this by combining robust cloud storage with social networking functionalities, aiming to improve user experience, collaboration, and data security through end-to-end encryption. The platform's design prioritizes user-friendliness and efficient data management.


Key Findings

Go Drive Net successfully integrates cloud storage with social networking features, offering users a unified platform for data management and communication. Key features include real-time chat, secure cloud storage, friend requests, data sharing via messaging, and the ability to copy data across folders without re-uploading. The platform enhances user engagement and collaboration.


Conclusion

Go Drive Net provides a secure and efficient platform for cloud storage and social networking, enhancing collaboration and productivity. The integration of these features offers a significant improvement over standalone cloud storage services. Future work includes exploring advanced security measures, integrating machine learning, developing innovative data management technologies, and incorporating intelligent chatbots.
