Cloud Based File Sharing System with Network Security | IJCT Volume 12 – Issue 6 | IJCT-V12I6P56

The Cloud-based File Sharing System with Network Security provides a secure, scalable, and efficient method for managing digital files over the internet. By integrating encryption mechanisms, secure communication channels, and cloud infrastructure, the system ensures that user data remains protected from modern cyber threats. The project successfully mirrors functionalities of commercial platforms like Google Drive while adding strong security features. A secure authentication mechanism based on token-based access control ensures that only authorized users can interact with the system. Role-based access policies and secure session handling enhance protection in multi-user environments by restricting file operations according to user privileges. These measures collectively establish a strong security framework that aligns with modern cybersecurity best practices and zero-trust principles. Performance evaluation confirms that the system is capable of handling multiple concurrent users and large file uploads with stable response times and minimal error rates. The scalability offered by Google Cloud enables dynamic resource management, making the system adaptable to increasing storage demands and user workloads. Additionally, the web-based user interface provides a seamless and intuitive experience, allowing users to upload, download, manage, and retrieve files with minimal complexity. Overall, the results validate that the proposed system effectively integrates cloud infrastructure, cryptographic techniques, and network security controls to deliver a secure, scalable, and user-friendly file sharing platform. The project serves as a strong real-world model for secure cloud-based file management and demonstrates how academic concepts in cloud computing and network security can be translated into a functional and deployable solution. Future enhancements may include the integration of multi-factor authentication, fine-grained access control policies, real-time security monitoring, and AI-driven threat detection mechanisms to further improve system resilience. Additionally, extending the platform to support cross-cloud interoperability and enhanced auditing mechanisms could make it suitable for enterprise-scale deployments.
