Abstract
Distributed cloud-based data storage divides a file for storage into a number of portions that are separately stored with two or more storage service providers. The division and/or transmission of the file may be implemented based on arbitrary criteria, including random selection, an applied storage policy or assignment of a given portion to a corresponding storage service provider as examples. One or more portions of the file may be assembled into an upload file that is transmitted to and received from a storage provider. The portions of the file received from the storage provider may be used to reconstruct the file.
