Data Integrity and Backup:

Maintaining data integrity involves ensuring that files are not altered or tampered with during storage or transmission. File sharing services should provide mechanisms to verify the integrity of files, such as checksums or hashes. Additionally, regular backups are essential to prevent data loss in case of hardware failures or cyberattacks.

As someone into tech but not an expert, I think one of the overlooked concerns is data leakage. You can be sharing more files than you intend if you’re not careful with folder permissions and stuff. Always keep an eye on what folders are enabled for sharing!

User Authentication and Access Control:

One of the primary security concerns in file sharing and hosting is ensuring that only authorized users have access to files. Services must implement robust authentication mechanisms to verify user identities. Additionally, access controls should be enforced to limit file access based on user roles and permissions. Ensuring that users only have access to files they are supposed to can prevent unauthorized information disclosure.
