Abstract: The embodiments provide facilitate storage of content from a terminal device in a cloud environment. Storage servers, a front server, and terminal devices are connected to a network. Each terminal device carries out an operation to the front server to store created content. The front server acquires the account of each of the storage servers in advance. The front server splits received content into split files, and stores the split files on different storage servers, respectively. The terminal device requests the front server to download the stored content. The front server acquires the split files from the storage servers, restores the content, and sends the restored content back to the terminal device. The front server encrypts and stores, with a public key of the terminal device, meta information for decrypting the content from the split files.
