[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Have personal files you want to keep private from your cloud provider?

[Drew King]

All,

For those of you who use cloud backup services or sync services, there 
is a very nice open source program that will let you create what they 
refer to as an encrypted vault on your cloud server. You can put files 
in there that are hidden from the cloud provider and anybody else that 
gains access to your account. Only your local computers will be able to 
decrypt the files.

This software is not specifically or exclusively for cloud servers. 
Create an encrypted vault on your local pc where you can keep sensitive 
files. For example, I recently needed to take my computer to a service 
center, and they ultimately needed to copy all of my Windows data files 
from my old hard drive to a new one. If my sensitive files had not been 
in an encrypted vault, they would have had access to that sensitive 
information.

The only catch! - The software is completely FREE on PCs. On Android, 
and I presume IOS, they want $$ to use the software. Doesn't really 
impact me, as I don't need to access these files on my phone necessarily.

It works pretty much everywhere:
