Abstract

A cloud-based resource sharing method is included. The method includes a cloud storage server receiving a resource uploaded by a first user via a first terminal and storing the resource on the cloud storage server. The method also includes an online business obtaining access to the resource granted by the first user and accessing the cloud storage server. Further, the method includes the cloud storage server receiving an access request from the online business for accessing the resource and verifying whether the online business has access to the resource. When the cloud storage server determines that the online business has access, the cloud storage server allows the online business to access the resource.

Claims

1. A cloud-based resource sharing method, comprising:

receiving, by a cloud storage server, a resource uploaded by a first user via a first terminal;

storing, by the cloud storage server, the resource on the cloud storage server;

obtaining, by an online business, access to the resource granted by the first user;

accessing, by the online business, the cloud storage server;

receiving, by the cloud storage server, an access request from the online business for accessing the resource;

verifying, by the cloud storage server, whether the online business has access to the resource, wherein, when the cloud storage server determines that the online business has access, the cloud storage server allows the online business to access the resource.

2. The method according to claim 1, further including:

a second user access the resource via the online business

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein accessing the cloud storage server further includes:

accessing the cloud storage server by a storage interface based on hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP).

4. A cloud-based resource sharing method, comprising:

receiving, by a cloud storage server, a resource uploaded by a first user via a first terminal;

storing, by the cloud storage server, the resource on the cloud storage server;

obtaining, by an online business, access authorization granted by the first user for a second user;

accessing, by the online business, the cloud storage server;

granting, by the online business, the second user with access authorization to the resource;

receiving, by the cloud storage server, an access request from the second user for accessing the resource via a second terminal;

verifying, by the cloud storage server, whether the second has access to the resource, wherein, when the cloud storage server determines that the second has access, the cloud storage server allows the second user to access the resource.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein:

the second user is specified by the first user.

6. The method according to claim 4, wherein:

the second user is a user of the online business; and

the first user is not a user of the online business.

7. The method according to claim 4, wherein:

the first user does not grant access to the online business itself, and only grants access to the second user via the online business.

8. A cloud-based resource sharing system, comprising:

a storage module configured for a cloud storage server to receive a resource uploaded by a first user via a first terminal and to store the resource on the cloud storage server;

an obtaining module configured for an online business to obtain access to the resource granted by the first user and to access the cloud storage server;

a receiving module configured for the cloud storage server to receive an access request from the online business for accessing the resource; and

a verification module configured for the cloud storage server to verify whether the online business has access to the resource, wherein, when the verification module determines that the online business has access, the verification module allows the online business to access the resource.

9. The system according to claim 8, further including:

an access module configured for the second user to access the resource via the online business.

10. A cloud-based resource sharing system, comprising:

a storage module configured for a cloud storage server to receive a resource uploaded by a first user via a first terminal and to store the resource on the cloud storage server;

an obtaining module configured for an online business to obtain access authorization granted by the first user for a second user, to access the cloud storage server, and to grant the second user with access authorization to the resource;

a receiving module configured for the cloud storage server to receive an access request from the second user for accessing the resource via a second terminal;

a verification module configured for the cloud storage server to verify whether the second has access to the resource, wherein, when the verification module verifies that the second has access, the verification module allows the second user to access the resource.

11. The system according to claim 10, wherein:

the second user is specified by the first user.

12. The system according to claim 10, wherein:

the second user is a user of the online business; and

the first user is not a user of the online business.

13. The system according to claim 10, wherein:

the first user does not grant access to the online business itself, and only grants access to the second user via the online business.
