Abstract:
Cloud storage is a trending issue shifting away from computing as a product that is purchased, to computing as a service that is delivered to consumers over the internet from large-scale data centres - or "clouds". The research focused on impact of Big Five Inventory personality traits on use of cloud storage services. The research was conducted in the Czech Republic. The respondents were 478 university students. Gender, age, and type of student's job were used as control variables. With regards to the results, openness to experience and gender influence the acceptance rate of cloud storage services.
