N2 - In the current decade, the use of cloud storage services is drastically increasing because it provides large data storage with various functionalities. Consequently, it is easier for someone to download, upload, change, and share data on multiple platforms. Meanwhile, cloud storage forensics is of paramount importance for service providers to rectify security issues. However, the unique characteristics of cloud service introduce numerous challenges like resource pooling, on-demand services, investigation, and legal matters. Cloud storage forensic deals with phenomena involving the cloud infrastructure and corresponding services in civil proceedings and criminal investigations. This paper presents a forensic analysis of the MEGA, a cloud service provider, using the Windows 10 operating system and android platform. In this investigation, we recognize various artifacts such as uploading, log in, downloading, file timestamps, and file sharing that could be forensically recovered.
