This study introduces a Blockchain-Based Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution that is designed to solve security problems caused by the centralised design of cloud storage systems, like data leaks, unauthorised access, and reliance on third-party providers. It uses blockchain, specifically Ethereum, along with the Zero Trust approach of \\\"never trust, always verify\\\" to create a secure, transparent, and unchangeable access control system. Smart contracts written in Solidity automate authentication, permission checks, and access validation, while AES encryption ensures strong protection for sensitive information in the cloud. The system sorts files into public and private groups based on user roles, and all access requests, permission changes, and activity logs are permanently stored on the blockchain, making it easier to keep track of who did what and when. The system's lack of central control reduces the risk of failures, increases dependability, and builds confidence among users. The system is meant to be scalable, work with mixed cloud setups, and could be linked to future security tools like advanced threat detection systems. In general, this solution offers a secure, checkable, and reliable platform for managing valuable digital assets in today's environment.
