The cloud security services for your business

1. Tresorit

Tresorit is a new cloud security provider but this service is also worth your attention if you still have not found out a suitable choice for yourself yet. When you first sign up for Tresorit services, you will receive five gigabytes for free. If you need to get more storage space, you should spend thirteen dollars every month.

The common point between Tresorit and other services is that all encryption will take place locally on your personal laptop. In other words, only you can know what files are encrypted by using your own setting password. Even the staff of the cloud security service does not have the ability to decrypt your files. What is more, Tresorit services are compatible with various devices from Windows and OS X operating systems on your desktop to Android, IOS and Windows Phone for your smart phones. A highlighted characteristic of Tresorit is sharing encrypted files. With this service, you are capable of sharing your flies and giving credit to the users that you believe, while those files are still being encrypted until the other users can download and open them.

2. Mega

Megaupload is the previous brother of Mega. Surprisingly, you will receive up to 50 Gigabytes of free storage space if you choose to work with this cloud security vendor. And if you need more space, it is according to your demand that you have to pay various fees. For instance, if you want to get more 500 Gigabytes of space, you need to pay 13 dollars per month for the company or 130 dollars per year. Mega is different from other services that there are no desktop applications, no syncing files as well as no applications for your mobile phones. Instead, everything will take place in your web browser.

As soon as you sign up for an account, you will have a chance to set your own password and then the service will create the keys for either encrypting or decrypting your data. Of course, like other services, you files are encrypted before being uploaded as well as being decrypted after download by your web browser. Then, after being encrypted, those files will be delivered through SSL. Nevertheless, all the encryption services of Mega are managed by yourself, it means that you should always remember your password. You can change your password only when you have not uploaded any file or folder to your cloud. As long as you have your data uploaded, you need to remember that password all your life as you are not able to change it as well as it is the key for you to view your data. Files are encrypted, of course, but not every file is encrypted by Mega. Unlike other services, Mega is only responsible for encrypting your files and folders, not your folder structure or file ownership information.

Additionally, it is necessary to understand that Mega can give you a lot of space for storage as well as offer a lot of attractive pluses and promises, but it does not mean their encryption ability is good. Their capability to encrypt files is truly weaker and slower that other cloud security services on the current market.

To be concluded, you had better think carefully before picking the best cloud security provider for yourself or for your entire business as this will affect a lot to your working. Changing a provider seems to be really challenging and taking time as well as effort. And you need time to do other things, not just waste several days to think of an issue which should have been considered carefully before.
