Tanmay Geeky Tips Leave a Comment

Cloud computing on a roll these days, but actually no one knows how safe it is to use. Though all of them provides security measures and high-end security features claiming secure data storage over the cloud. But to be on safe side, extra security and cloud data encryption is what I recommend or avoid uploading something personal or highly confidential data over the cloud storage services. But that’s not the efficient solution. Cloudfogger is an encryption software which allows users to encrypt contents to secure data right from the computer system. Here’s how to encrypt data using Cloudfogger.

How To Encrypt Contents To Secure Data Using Cloudfogger

  • First of all, download Cloudfogger application. Install it.choose username and password for cloudfogger account
  • Create a new account, note down the Cloudfogger ID, feed a strong password. Click on Next. You can also choose to save the password locally on your system.
  • I know you are not going to read that PDF file they are recommending you to read, no problem, follow this short tutorial to use Cloudfogger to encrypt contents to secure data on cloud storage services you are using.
  • Right click on some document to choose the Cloudfogger option from the Right context menu. There are plethora of options to choose from(shown in the image).cloudfogger cloud storage secure content
  • Choose the following options accordingly.
Fogg(Encrypt)To encrypt the data.
Fogg and ShareTo share the encrypted data
Fogg to CopyEncrypt data to copy it somewhere(other folders)
Shred and DeleteTo delete the encrypted content
Lock AccountTo lock your Cloudfogger account to prevent unauthorized access
I know you are still confused with the working of Cloudfogger, let me clear the air for you.

How Cloudfogger Works

  • Cloudfogger is a client side encryption of the files which secures your content, after that you can upload it to your cloud storage accounts, say Dropbox etc.
  • A new virtual drive is created for every new installation of Cloudfogger, where Cloudfogger saves the encrypted version of the file every time you use it to encrypt your data.
  • Now lets say if you want to save the encrypted data over Dropbox, you can select the Dropbox Folder which is synched with Dropbox as an Active Drive. Check the image for the reference.select dropbox folder as an active drive
  • So that’s how Cloudfogger empowers client side data encryption which can be used to secure contents over the cloud.

Now your data stored on cloud storage services is secured. Feel free to ask your doubts regarding the service.

    That is indeed something useful, I was also asking myself how safe the data I get onto the cloud really is. You can never be too safe.
    Speaking of cloud services, I also heard about a new audials anywhere app, it’s some sort of personal media cloud:
    http://www.personalmediacloud.com
    This one besides letting you access your files anywhere,it also allows you to invite friends to browse and even save stuff from your media collection.
    Suppose invitation based services are also pretty safe, you can control who can access your files and when.

    This is definitely a must-have program for cloud storage services like Dropbox since they exposed all their data last year.

    FYI, I couldn’t find this in the documentation so I’m blasting it in blog comments. To share an encrypted file with cloudfogger and dropbox, make a folder in your dropbox and share it with your friend dropbox email address, then right click the file and choose “Cloudfogger > Fogg and Share” and put in your friends cloudfogger email address; then place the newly encryped .cfog file into the shared directory
