Perform forensic acquisition of cloud storage services including Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and Box by pulling API-based remote data such as revision history and audit logs, and collecting local sync-client artifacts including KAPE targets and OneDrive databases from endpoints. Use during incident response or e-discovery when evidence resides in cloud-synced storage and both cloud-side and endpoint-side artifacts must be preserved.

# Performing Cloud Storage Forensic Acquisition

## Overview

Cloud storage forensic acquisition involves collecting digital evidence from services like Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and Box through both API-based remote acquisition and local endpoint artifact analysis. Modern investigations must address the challenge that cloud-synced files may exist in multiple states: locally synchronized, cloud-only (on-demand), cached, and deleted. Endpoint devices that have synchronized with cloud storage contain a wealth of metadata about locally synced files, files present only in the cloud, and even deleted items recoverable from cache folders. API-based acquisition using service-specific APIs provides direct access to remote data with valid credentials and proper legal authorization.


## When to Use

- When conducting security assessments that involve performing cloud storage forensic acquisition
- When following incident response procedures for related security events
- When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
- When validating security controls through hands-on testing
