^ One researcher recommended similar approach, the data stored centrally, and give other users access keys as the means of granting them permission to read those data. However the issue here, don't I end up 'storing' that access key as well? Unless its a password-type, where user have to remember and manually enter it every time...

He also suggest taking a push model (the central storage) rather than pull model (device storage).

I am still debating, and researching. Any other thoughts?

If you read up on the PGP idea you will see that storing people's public keys is not an issue - they may be broadcast to the world. The clever bit is that they are combined with a private key (that you do not store or exchange) to encrypt and ultimately decrypt any given message or data.
