Utilizing a case study design, the researchers conducted semistructured interviews with a purposive sample of 15 faculty members to capture diverse viewpoints. The study used the thematic analysis approach to analyse the data retrieved from interviews. Based on the findings, the study concluded that cloud storage systems have several advantages, such as easy accessibility features, robust security protocols, service compatibility and intuitive user interfaces. These benefits encourage academic personnel to collaborate and increase productivity. However, some challenges existed. These are related to internet access, cost, lack of formal training and security. The study recommends that enhancing the university internet infrastructure is critical to guaranteeing reliability and fast connectivity for effective utilization of cloud storage. The university may also think of offering financial assistance for supplementary storage requirements to academic staff. 2024-08-14T08:57:55Z 2024-08-14T08:57:55Z 2024 Article APA ISSN: 2714-2132 (Online) 2714-2183 (Print) DOI: https://doi.org/10.46606/eajess2024v05i02.0372. https://scholar.mzumbe.ac.tz/handle/123456789/1064 en_US application/pdf East African Journal of Education and Social Sciences |
