Technologies are generally described for partial cloud data storage. In one example, a method includes dividing, by a system comprising a processor, a file into a set of source packets in response to an indication that the file is to be stored in a data store of a network device. The method also includes transforming the set of source packets into a set of encoded packets by encoding the set of packets into codeword symbols of an error correcting code. Further, the method includes facilitating storage of a first portion of the set of encoded packets to the data store of the network device and a second portion of the set of encoded packets to one or more user devices. A first number of packets in the first portion is more than a second number of packets in the second portion and the second portion is at least used to decode the file.
