Unfortunately, evidence acquisition for such services still follows the traditional way of collecting artefacts on a client device. At the same time investigators are faced with a wide range of technical, legal and organizational issues. Cloud services allow their users, with relatively little technical knowledge, store, manage and share content with others.

These findings may assist forensic examiners and practitioners in real-world examination of cloud client applications on Android and iOS platforms.Ĭloud services and cloud storage solutions are special challenges in digital forensic investigations. We identify artefacts of forensic interest, such as information generated during login, uploading, downloading, deletion, and the sharing of files. In this paper, we examine four popular cloud client apps, namely OneDrive, Box, GoogleDrive, and Dropbox, on both Android and iOS platforms (two of the most popular mobile operating systems). Consequently, mobile devices are an increasing important source of evidence in digital investigations. Mobile devices have, however, been known to be used and/or targeted by cyber criminals to conduct malicious activities, such as data exfiltration, malware, identity theft, piracy, illegal trading, sexual harassment, cyber stalking and cyber terrorism. In today’s Internet-connected world, mobile devices are increasingly used to access cloud storage services, which allow users to access data anywhere, anytime.
