The Journey to Cloud
Published in Haishi Bai, Zen of Cloud, 2019
My wife appreciates cloud from a different angle—she uses iCloud. She likes the fact that you can get seemingly infinite storage space on iCloud so that she can keep all her pictures, all the way back to the first picture she took with her first iPhone. In 2018, when you sign up for iCloud, you get 5GB of storage for free, and you can pay for a subscription with up to 2TB of storage. While the number is moderately impressive for a single user, when you multiply that with millions of users, you reach a quite impressive number.

Apple also reports that storage space will not be an issue. Upon signing up for iCloud, users are said to receive 5 GB of free storage. Apple reports that only mail, documents, Camera Roll, account information, settings, and other app data will be applied against that 5 GB of storage. The users-purchased music, apps, books, and Photo Stream will not count against the storage. By taking this route, it encourages the users to use the iCloud for new uses (documents, mail)—not just the typical music and apps most users are familiar with.

The current literature on digital hoarding focuses on the accumulation of specific digital content (eg, emails or photographs). Email management is time- and attention-consuming (Dabbish et al., 2005). In the workplace, employees tend to focus on email access and utilization but rarely consider organizating and clean-up (McKellar et al., 2020). The underlying reason for this might be that employees think emails will be needed for future work or are unwilling to spend time deleting them (Sweeten et al., 2018). Digital photographs afford individuals with the emotional value (ie, emotional attachment) of reminiscing about people and events of the past (McKellar et al., 2020). Moreover, the low cost of digital storage space (eg, iCloud Photo Stream) inclines people to neglect the accumulation of photographs (Denegri-Knott et al., 2013; Sweeten et al., 2018), and unlike collections of physical photos, hoards of digital images are often invisible.

The first case is Apple’s iCloud service that provides consumer level service to back up smartphones’ content (such as music, photos, and data) [71]. Hackers breached the Cloud service on September 1, 2014 and the personal photos of celebrities were made publicly available [57]. The hackers used a brute force password cracking approach to gain unauthorized access to the celebrity photos. Apple refused to take responsibility, stating that it was a targeted attack and not a Cloud breach [71, 72]. Apple claims the incident was not an architecture-wide breach of iCloud but a focused attack on specific user accounts where unauthorized access was gained by obtaining passwords, security questions, and usernames.
