Encrypt Your Files Before Uploading Them To The Cloud

Millions of people trust services like Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon S3, and Backblaze to store their files.

These services protect your account—but they aren't designed to ensure that only you can read your files.

Encrypt your file locally before uploading it to any cloud storage provider. Your files remain encrypted wherever they are stored, and only someone with the correct password can decrypt them.

When to Encrypt

Why Encrypt Your Files?

Not every file should be readable by everyone.

Whether you're sharing a contract with a client, sending tax documents to your accountant, backing up crypto wallets, or storing personal records in the cloud, encryption ensures that only someone with the correct password can access your information.

Without encryption, anyone who gains access to your file can read its contents.

With encryption, the file becomes unreadable until it's unlocked with the correct password.

Password Security

Your Encryption Is Only As Strong As Your Password

AES-256 encryption is trusted by governments, enterprises, and security professionals around the world.

But even the strongest encryption depends on one thing:

The password protecting it.

Weak passwords can be guessed.

Reused passwords can be stolen.

Shared passwords can be leaked.

A strong, unique password dramatically increases the security of every encrypted file.
