Secure Cloud Storage: BoxCryptor Giveaway - Dropbox, Google Drive, SkyDrive

BoxCryptor provides a robust solution for safeguarding sensitive information stored in cloud environments.

BoxCryptor Mobile Applications

Utilizing cloud storage solutions provides convenient access to your files through mobile applications, regardless of your location. However, when files are encrypted, a tool like BoxCryptor is essential for decryption and viewing.

BoxCryptor’s mobile app, previously available for both Android and iOS platforms, fulfilled this need. It offered compatibility with popular services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft SkyDrive.

Supported Cloud Services and Storage Options

To utilize the app, simply launch it on your mobile device and select your preferred cloud service. Beyond standard cloud platforms, the application also supported connections to WebDAV shares.

Furthermore, it allowed users to load encrypted files directly from an SD card, offering flexibility in storage options.

Upon successful authentication with your chosen service, you can navigate to your designated BoxCryptor folder.

Decryption is then achieved using your personal password, granting you access to the unencrypted versions of your files while mobile.

The app also facilitates uploading files directly to your encrypted storage from your device.

Important Security Feature: The encryption and decryption processes are performed locally on your device, ensuring your password remains secure and is never transmitted across a network.

Enhanced Security with PIN Protection

To further safeguard your data, BoxCryptor allows you to establish a PIN code.

This PIN acts as an additional layer of security, preventing unauthorized access to the application and your sensitive files in the event of device theft.

BoxCryptor: Comparing the Free and Unlimited Versions

Fortunately, all the functionalities previously discussed are available at no cost to all users. An unlimited quantity of files can be encrypted – limited only by the storage capacity of your chosen cloud provider – and accessed across all your devices.

The Unlimited edition of BoxCryptor, which is also being offered, incorporates several supplementary capabilities.

• Support for Multiple Drives: Utilizing more than one cloud storage platform? Several BoxCryptor drives can be established, each assigned a unique drive letter and distinct folder. Furthermore, multiple BoxCryptor folders can be created within the same cloud service, allowing for selective sharing or private use.

Consider the scenario where you wish to share one folder with a colleague while maintaining another for personal, confidential data.

• Encryption of File Names: The free iteration of BoxCryptor does not encrypt file names. Consequently, if a file named "My Secrets.doc" is stored within an encrypted folder, its name remains visible. However, the file's contents remain inaccessible. The Unlimited version, conversely, replaces legible file names with randomized characters. Encrypted filenames require the Unlimited version of BoxCryptor to function.

This enhanced security prevents unauthorized individuals from gaining even basic information about the files you've protected.

• Priority Support Access: A BoxCryptor Unlimited license grants access to dedicated support directly from the BoxCryptor team. Free users must rely on community forums for assistance when encountering issues.
• Permitted Commercial Application: The 25 BoxCryptor Unlimited Business licenses being given away authorize usage for commercial endeavors. Beyond this distinction, BoxCryptor Unlimited Business ($99 per license) mirrors BoxCryptor Unlimited Personal ($40 per license) in functionality.

Should you require the Business edition, participation in this week’s giveaway is highly recommended – we are distributing 25 BoxCryptor Unlimited Business licenses, representing a total value of $2500!
