What is Cloud Security?
Cloud Security by AxCrypt is a feature that ensures encrypted cloud sync across multiple devices and supported cloud storage platforms. This allows you to secure cloud storage files using client-side encryption that authorises users with the necessary access permissions to access them.
With AxCrypt's Cloud Security feature, you can almost encrypt any files. From files, PDFs, sheets, to images, you can use AxCrypt's Cloud SecurityAES-256 encryption algorithm to protect them.
Is Cloud Security a zero-knowledge cloud storage solution?
Yes. Cloud Security by AxCrypt is designed as a zero-knowledge cloud storage solution. This means that your files are encrypted using the AES-256 encryption algorithm, and we do not hold or access any of the information or data that is uploaded onto the cloud storage platforms. The cloud storage provider does not control your encryption keys. This guarantees stronger data privacy and true end-to-end encrypted cloud sync.
