[Nerd Scale: 2 out of 5 pocket protectors]
On my laptop, my sensitive data is encrypted. However, when I sync these files to most cloud sync services, the files are stored in plain text with the encryption removed. This is a huge security risk.
I am now using a great software called Cloudfogger which allows me to encrypt my files and have them synced in the cloud without losing the encryption. The software is free of charge and is quite easy to install and use.
Here is how you use Cloudfogger:
(1) Go to https://www.cloudfogger.com, create an account and install the software on your computer.
(2) Choose a file or folder you want to encrypt, right click on it and choose Cloudfogger | Fog file
(3) The file gets renamed with a .cfog extension and will now sync to the cloud without losing the encryption.
From then on, when you access your encrypted files, you will need Cloudfogger and your encryption key installed on the device you are trying to open it with. Otherwise, the file will not be readable. This allows us to make sure that our encrypted files are safe from others. Cloudfogger has apps that work on iOS, Windows and Android mobile devices.
If you need more information about how to get encrypted files stored in the cloud, contact us a Binkley IT Consulting. We can help.
Great tip! Can this work to allow more than one device access? Like to share files, for example?
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon, Laura! Cloudfogger allows you to share encrypted files with other users. I haven't tested that feature, but would love to test it out with you when you have some time.
ReplyDeleteI have been able to encrypt files with Cloudfogger, sync with Sugarsync and open the encrypted files on my iPad using the Cloudfogger App for the iPad.
