The article examines the legal regulation of using cloud technologies for information storage. The author analyses the legal acts of Ukraine, the European Union, the USA, and self-governing organisations that unite intermediaries of cloud information systems regulating relations in data storage and using cloud technologies for user information processing. The author considers the provisions on the definition of cloud computing and cloud storage from the point of view of law. The author analyses specific regulations governing legal relations in the storage field and the use of information in cloud storage. The main functions are analysed: information storage creation of a multi-level database; collection of data and their systematisation, storage of big data and their processing; information exchange; support of other services; collection of data and their distribution by applications; and economic function. It is noted that the legal regulation of information storage in cloud storage is complex.
