Given the title of this article, you may have wondered what it has to do with iCloud with Google Cloud. Apple is having remaining problems to support the millions of followers it has and therefore they have decided that certain data from all of us They will not be located on Apple's own servers but on Google's.
Although we believe that this is not possible, Apple has confirmed what we are telling you without major problems. If you were not aware, it is not the first time that Apple makes use of third-party servers and it is also You have used Microsoft Azure servers or Amazon S3 servers.
In the latest iOS security wink, Apple confirms without any problem that it has begun to negotiate with Google itself to start using the servers that make up the Google Cloud. It is an alliance that shows that Apple does not stop growing and increasingly needs more means and space to the millions of files that the iCloud cloud moves.
Apple's security guide says:
iCloud encrypts each file, which is broken down into chunks, with AES-128 and a key derived from the content of each chunk using SHA-256. Apple stores the keys and metadata for the files in the user's iCloud account. The encrypted fragments of the file are stored (excluding user identification information) by third-party storage services such as Amazon S3 and Google Cloud.
As you can see, the data that is saved on third-party servers is completely safe and that is that Apple applies its own algorithm and what is saved is the result. The owners of the servers have zero access to this data so Apple fans should rest easy.
