Personal Cloud Storage Market Share

Demand for efficient storage, increased frequency of data access, data sharing, usage of portable devices such as tablets and multimedia phones, cost-effective storage, and safety against data loss are expected to drive the market over the next few years. A low degree of awareness, credible security concerns, and a lack of funds are expected to restrain market growth. Delivering affordable and safe data storage is a challenge for cloud service providers.
