Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for managing access to data objects in cloud storage. In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises storing, by a processor, a data object in a storage device of a cloud storage service for a duration of time, wherein the data object is accessible to a plurality of user accounts. The method comprises extending the duration of time for retaining the data object on the storage device to a first extended duration when a degree of access of the data object by the plurality of user accounts meets a target threshold value during the duration of time. The method further comprises extending the duration of time for retaining the data object on the storage device to a second extended duration when the degree of access does not meet the target threshold value during the duration of time.
