Viivo

Cloud storage services have become wildly popular lately, as they promise highly stable solutions for saving information in an interconnected world. Data can thus be accessed from virtually any location, as long as a working Internet connection is present. Viivo offers Dropbox users the ability to protect their data, thus combining Cloud accessibility with the security provided by encryption algorithms.

The program works with Dropbox and, thus, requires a working account. Since this information is required to synchronize data, an Internet connection must also be present. Essentially, the application provides users of the popular Cloud storage space provider with a secured method of encrypting their data.

The utility is streamlined for a very smooth user experience, and one can institute protective measures with just a few mouse clicks. Once a target folder has been defined, the application will automatically protect all the files found inside. What's more, to ensure one never gets locked out of the vault, synchronized local backups can be performed.

Once a directory has been placed in the locker, the application will continuously monitor it for any activity. Any issues are reported in the “Notifications” tab of the main window and comprehensive logs are kept of all actions or problems.

Folders that have been transferred to the Cloud can be decrypted, or removed altogether, and one can even rename directories. Also, a highly accessible drop box zone can be defined on the desktop and users are free to drag and drop items on it, thus instantly encrypting and transferring to the Cloud any document.

Summing up, Viivo is a valuable tool for anyone regularly working with Dropbox. It allows users to quickly transfer completely encrypted documents and folders to the Cloud, thus preventing any potential security breaches.
