Syncdocs Makes Google Drive a Safer Place

Syncdocs is a new app that enables full end-to-end encryption of Google Drive data
 
NEW YORK - Sept. 28, 2015 - PRLog -- Google recently announced many security upgrades for Google Drive. Among these are audit alerts, password recovery options and USB security key support. All these make files stored on Google drive more secure by making it harder to break in.

Google Drive has also achieved ISO 27018 certification. This means that they will keep your corporate data private, subject to their compliance standards, and unlike free users, Google will not spy on your files for advertising purposes.

Single point of failure

All these measures do not stop hackers from reading your files once they have compromised any of an organization’s Google accounts.

In fact the recent expansion of password recovery options provides more cracks in security for hackers to penetrate, if not setup correctly. Once a Google account is penetrated, all Google Drive files and emails are available. Hackers can use the compromised Google account to do social engineering or phishing attacks to target the rest of the organization from the inside.

End-to-end security for Google Drive

This is possible because Google Drive does not encrypt files at rest on the Google servers. Syncdocs is an app the syncs to Google Drive, but also provides an extra layer of encryption (http://www.syncdocs.com/enhance-google-drive-privacy-and-...). This means that files are encrypted before they leave your PC or device. Files are stored on Google’s servers using this strong encryption.

Even if your Google account is hacked, or even if there’s some curious Google employee, your data is safe. The files remain safely encrypted, and not reliant on Google security.

Syncdocs has Zero Knowledge of your data. In non-technical terms, this means that your Google Drive data is 100% private and only readable by you. No plaintext data, no keys, or file metadata ever leaves your private PC or device. All this ensures absolute confidentiality of your data.

Syncdocs improves Google Drive

Syncdocs also offers many other upgrades to Google Drive, like:

* Multiple accounts can be synced at the same time. This is especially useful for users with separate home and work Google accounts.
* Full end-to-end encryption is provided to improve Google Drive security and meet with regulatory standards like HIPAA.
* Folders are synced from anywhere on a PC or network, not just the single folder dictated by Google.
* Syncdocs can easily be deployed in the enterprise with fully automated, scripted installations.
* All Google data is backed up, even Google documents and spreadsheets.
