Methods including the steps of: upon receiving a write request for writing a data file into at least one cloud-storage allocation unit, identifying unused available storage in the cloud-storage allocation unit; fragmenting the data file into chunk files; encrypting each chunk file; writing each chunk file to the cloud-storage allocation unit to satisfy the write request; and updating a metadatabase having metadata associated with the data file and the chunk files.
