Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for managing access to data objects in cloud storage. In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises, by a hardware processor, storing a first data object in a cloud storage service, wherein the first data object is uploaded by a first user, modifying a data access policy associated with the first data object to permit access by user accounts other than the first user, determining a utility ranking of the first data object based on a degree of access of the first data object using the cloud storage service, and modifying a data retention policy associated with the first data object based on the determined utility ranking.
