Synchronize and backup your files online - easy and secure with the Amazon S3 storage service

Sync2S3 is a software created to synchronize your files with the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), providing you with a secure and affordable backup solution.

Recently, Amazon launched a new web service which offers you unlimited storage capacity at an incredible price. By synchronizing your hard disc with this storage service, you can keep secure backup copies of any file below 2 GB.

With Amazon S3, your data is stored in a highly scalable system, which is mirrored in several storage centers around the world.

With Amazon S3, all file transfers use the most comprehensive security available.

First, a secured internet connection (SSL) is used to connect to Amazon.
Then, every single request to Amazon is encrypted with a 'private-public-key method', which means that even the correct time is necessary in order to communicate with Amazon S3.

Sync2S3 takes the built-in security of Amazon S3 one step further: Every file is zipped and encrypted with a 256 bit AES key.

A normal, password-protected zip file can be opened and accessed fairly quickly. With a so-called brute force attack, you can try approximately 5 million passwords per second.

With a 256 bit AES encrypted zip file you can try only 70-80 passwords a second. This means that you need about 6.5 million years for an eight character password – which should be secure enough for anyone.
