Abstract
A computer-implemented method for secure third-party data storage may include (1) identifying, at a server-side computing system, a data access request from a client system to access an encrypted file stored under a user account, (2) receiving a long poll request from the client system, (3) identifying an asymmetric key pair designated for the user account, the asymmetric key pair including an encryption key and a decryption key that has been encrypted with a client-side key, (4) responding to the long poll request with a message notifying the client system to transmit the client-side key, (5) receiving, from the client system, the client-side key, (6) decrypting the decryption key with the client-side key, and (7) using the decryption key to access an unencrypted version of the encrypted file. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
