Abstract: The embodiments set forth techniques for implementing a cloud service that enables cloud data to be shared between different users in a secure manner. One embodiment involves a sharing manager and a sharing client, where the sharing manager is configured to manage various data components stored within a storage system managed by the cloud service. These data components can include user accounts, share objects (for sharing data between users—and, in some cases, public users not known to the sharing manager)—as well as various “wrapping objects” that enable data to be logically separated in an organized manner within the storage system. According to this approach, the sharing client is configured to interface with the sharing manager in order to carry out various encryption/decryption techniques that enable the cloud data to be securely shared between the users.
