DataLocker SkyCrypt Description
There are a lot of users who rely on dedicated cloud sharing platforms to store their most important files and documents. Those who also want to make sure their data is secure and that no unauthorized people can access it can encrypt it with a specialized app, such as DataLocker SkyCrypt.
The interface of the software solution is intuitive and user-friendly, and one can easily create a new encrypted drive with a single mouse click.
They will need to specify the destination of their drive, depending on the sharing service detected on the host computer. More precisely, DataLocker SkyCrypt supports Dropbox, SkyDrive, Google Drive, Bitcasa and Box, while also allowing users to create their encrypted drive within a local folder.
Once this step has been completed and the newly created drive was assigned a name, a password will be required. Since this passphrase will be used to protect one’s most important data, it is advisable to choose one as strong as possible (DataLocker SkyCrypt displays a strength indicator for each entered password). A drive letter will be assigned and the creation process is complete.
Users can also enable auto-mount and long file names, as well as activate filename encryption and case insensitive filenames, but it is best for beginners users not to deal with the last two settings, as they should only be managed by those with expert PC skills.
All in all, DataLocker SkyCrypt comes in handy to all those who want to make sure that the data they store via their cloud accounts cannot be locally accessed by nosy people – only those who know the correct password and use DataLocker SkyCrypt will be able to open the encrypted files.
Nonetheless, a license needs to be purchased by all those who wish to enjoy the benefits of the app after the evaluation period expires.
