The Extent of Smartphones Users to Adopt the Use of Cloud Storage

Abstract

Recently, technology has witnessed a rapid progress and dominates all aspects of life systematically. Smartphones are devices that users can depend on managing and storing data. Moreover, they are used to save, update and secure the private information of users by using Cloud Storage such as iCloud, Dropbox and Google Drive. This study presents and adjusts the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) specifically, perceived ease of use, usefulness, attitude toward usage and behavioral intention. Additionally, the study used Cornbach Alpha Correlation and Regression analysis in public universities, particularly in the University of Sulaimani. The study aims to recognize the major elements that have impact on using cloud storage and to what extent the user depends on electronic devices in the academic field and to identify the factors and crucial effect on the users to use electronic device easily, improve their capability and attract to use the specific technology. The results of this study confirmed that some TAM constructs direct and indirect effect on university academics, employees and students' behavioral intention to use cloud storage (Dropbox, iCloud and Google drive). However, the results regression analysis shows whenever users used the cloud storage easily perceived usefulness decreased the performance of job consequently. On the other hand, it went up the desirability to use the specific technology and own conscious scheme to execute for future.

“…As observed in the figures, it noticed that in blockchain the information does not keep at a central point like the conventional security methods (Hasan and Alhayani 2021;Yahya et al 2021; Abu-Rumman 2021; Abu-Rumman et al 2021). The multiple copies of similar data are stored in various locations and on various devices, and hence it is called distributed technology (Aldiabat et al 2018(Aldiabat et al , 2019. As the multiple copies of the same data available, the loss of any single point of storage does not affect the security of the original data (Rashid et al 2021;Chen et al 2019).…”

“…Some other recent works (Yahya et al 2021;Abu-Rumman 2021;Abu-Rumman et al 2021;Aldiabat et al 2018Aldiabat et al , 2019Rashid et al 2021;Chen et al 2019;Wang et al 2018;Zhao et al 2018;Zhang et al 2018a) reported those are based on blockchain for the medical data storage and sharing in the cloud computing environment. The blockchain-based data-sharing framework proposed in Yahya et al (2021) that adequately approaches the access control difficulties connected with sensible medical data collected in the cloud employing built-in and immutability independence features of the blockchain.…”

“…Youssef et al ( 2017 ) have proposed new resource distribution methods that permit the coupling of NOMA with MIMO frameworks (Aldiabat et al 2018 , 2019 ). As in most downlink NOMA frameworks, the relative decency (PF) scheduler is utilized.…”

“…As the BS and RU have multiple reception apparatuses, thusly they think about (1) beamforming and (2) arbitrary receiving wire choice methodologies at the BS and RU. Youssef et al (2017) have proposed new resource distribution methods that permit the coupling of NOMA with MIMO frameworks (Aldiabat et al 2018(Aldiabat et al , 2019. As in most downlink NOMA frameworks, the relative decency (PF) scheduler is utilized.…”

“…In addition, genome sequencing could be used to study the virulence and pathogenicity of the virus, as well as the evolutionary linkages between hosts and viruses (Shaibu et al 2021 ). SARS-CoV-2 is rapidly spreading through countries, and there has been considerable concern about whether the spread is due to mutations in the virus (Aldiabat et al 2018 ; Alhayani and llhan 2021 ).…”
