Respecting Your Right to Privacy in the Cloud with OpenDrive
Sending your personal and private data off somewhere into cyber space can sound scary and stressful. You need to know that your files are at their peak of safety and security to detour theft, privacy invasion, and unauthorized access. It is every person’s right to have complete privacy and security when it comes to their files. When you use OpenDrive, total security and peace of mind come standard with your plan subscription. With a plethora of features to ensure this, including a Secure Files Folder, the ability to manage user and folder permissions, top of the line encryption and more, you can rest assured that OpenDrive is committed to your privacy. With their commitment to ensuring that security and privacy go hand in hand, all your worries will disappear.
OpenDrive’s special “Secure Files Folder” can be accessed through their desktop applications. Files placed into this zero knowledge folder are encrypted with a custom key, which resides only on that system. All files in this folder are encrypted with AES 256 bit encryption in real time. This means that files are decrypted as they are accessed or modified, then encrypted again before being uploaded to OpenDrive servers. This top of the line feature offers another layer of protection for those super sensitive files.
User Permissions is another great feature that helps to secure your privacy. Although you can easily share files or folders through OpenDrive, you can just as easily lock them down to complete privacy and secrecy with File and Folder Permissions. Setting your folders and files as private ensures that nobody can view them or even stumble across them accidentally. If you have multiple users on your account, you can control what they can see or edit in the cloud by granting them access only to the folders or files you wish. All other items will be invisible and your users will have not have the right to access them nor even be able to see them. You can also track your user’s usage and what they did online or even receive activity notifications by email to know exactly when a user has made a change to a folder they have access to. Permissions are a great way to maintain your privacy while still making sure users can access the items you need them to and allowing you to see who did what and when.
It is important to note as well that OpenDrive even protects against unauthorized access from their own staff. If your folder is set as private, it is indeed private and accessible only to the administrator of the account, no matter what. OpenDrive staff also cannot see or alter your password. Their entire system is also constantly scanned by Comodo HackerGuardian Antivirus Protection to keep your folders and files safe from viruses, malware, and other unwarranted attacks that could risk your privacy. In addition to the antivirus protection, their servers are located behind a firewall. As far as OpenDrive’s physical data center goes, it is in a very controlled environment with limited access. The servers are under constant surveillance and even have an on-site security team that monitors them. Every possible step has been taken to ensure your privacy is never compromised and your data is never stolen or tampered with.
OpenDrive’s features enhance your backup experience and offer great lines of security to protect your privacy. All of these, including encryption and monitored data centers, make using OpenDrive for your backups even better and safer than using an external hard drive. Not only do you risk a physical damage or loss to an external drive but you do not get all of the features and state of the art security as a layer of protection over your files. OpenDrive takes the “scary” out of cloud backups so you can rest assured that your files are being maintained with a level of security unlike any other. The same goes for your privacy.
