BoxCryptor Portable

Cloud storage space is one infinite resource the internet can offer. Usually, people upload their data to cloud services to ensure nobody destroys or steals it. However, the Cloud was subject to security breaches in the past, proving that no environment is 100% foolproof. Besides authentication, other levels of protection can be applied. BoxCryptor Portable, for example, is a smart application offering encryption capabilities for files uploaded to a good number of cloud services.

BoxCryptor is equipped with a hefty collection of cloud storage providers. The application supports around thirty services, each being accessible with their respective credentials. Once synchronized with the Cloud, you can start encrypting files and folders. Each transfer between machine and cloud will automatically encrypt your data, thus allowing anybody but you to access that information.

Managing individual files can be done with ease. The context menu will accommodate a new BoxCryptor entry, which can be used to encrypt and decrypt items at will.

Encrypting a file will add a green padlock icon to them. If you wish to further enhance an item's protection, you can go with filename encryption. This scrambles the file's name or adds random Asian characters to it, rendering it unrecognizable.

All your data is individually protected using strong standards that run both symmetric (AES-256, AES-192, or AES-128) and asymmetric encryption (RSA), which relies on two keys, one private and one public.

In summary, BoxCryptor Portable comes in very handy when it comes to encrypting data stored within the Cloud. No matter you are using Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, Amazon S3, this application can help you secure any files hosted on any platform. And since this is the portable version of BoxCryptor, you won't have to bother with and installation process and new data written on your drive.
