Boxcryptor

It is a fact that we keep more and more files and documents in cloud storage services The convenience they provide by keeping them synchronized between devices well worth using. But in recent times interest in the privacy and security of our data has grown and for this reason the existence of tools such as the one we propose today is appreciated.

Boxcryptor was born precisely to make it easier for us to preserve the privacy of our data. With a Boxcryptor account and any of the applications it has, we can keep folders and files encrypted and only accessible by password.Starting this week we will also have Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 applications to also access from computers, tablets and mobile phones with Microsoft systems.

After installing any of the applications the operation is simple. After creating an account in Boxcryptor we will choose from among the multiple storage services available (OneDrive included) the one where we want to save our encrypted files, giving the application permission to use it. From there we can browse our files and create and upload new folders and encrypted files.

The files are encrypted locally and Boxcryptor never stores our password, thus guaranteeing that only we can decrypt them. We will have to use, yes, one of its applications for it. The good thing is that there are versions for a large number of systems and it has the advantage that the service is free for private use.
