    Security and usability are the top concerns of business users and administrators of information technology services. This paper discusses several security and usability issues with cloud file systems, identifies four enablers for a secure and usable cloud storage infrastructure, and describes how such enablers can assist in an orderly transition of enterprise IT services to the cloud.
