A lot of people use Dropbox, a free and amazing cloud storage service that lets you upload and share your photos, documents, videos or any other files easily. Even if we’re worried about security, most of us don’t go through encrypting anything on our own since it’s a hassle / extra effort. That’s where SafeMonk comes in handy.
SafeMonk is a great service that adds extra security to your DropBox account by encrypting your files automatically. It supports Windows, Mac, Android and iOS which is pretty neat. As soon you’ve downloaded and installed the application, you’ll need to register for a free account. After that, it will automatically create a new folder in your DropBox account named ‘SafeMonk’.
Every file that you put in that ‘SafeMonk’ folder will be automatically encrypted. To access these files, you’ll need to install the application on the same computer and log-in with your account which is associated with it. You can also track your account activity by clicking on ‘Audit’ on the website and it will show you who and when was your account logged in.
Without SafeMonk installed, you won’t be able to get access to your encrypted files. Also, if you need your files elsewhere, they have created apps for Android and iPhone which can be used to give you access including a key management system. No one without the key can read or view your files.
