Is CLOUD STORAGE Secure? 4 Steps to Control YOUR DATA!

Amazon

What about Sync, IceDrive, NextCloud, OWNCloud, or FileCloud?

Just host your own cloud server done ✅ easy

Good video.

I'd add Mega to the list as well :)

Boxryptor it's not available anymore. It closed all customer accounts after it was acquired by Dropbox!

Too bad Boxcryptor is no longer available because they sold out to Dropbox and now Dropbox is going to offer it but only to those on a business plan. So thanks Dropbox for taking away something valuable to the masses and making it only available to the few.

that was to me very informative because i was very skeptical about using cloud...thank you.

hi bro, thank you for this video

What about koofr cloud storage

I'm planing to split my information between 1password and the "personal vault" of onedrive, all the information that needs autofill I'd keep it on the password manager and the rest on the cloud, I mean its more practical but I think thats enough right?

You missed iCloud Drive

I think there is no absolute perfect way to protect your data, there’s just relatively stronger security systems to adopt in protecting your data. Cloud Storage may be better than your average Joe saving his stuff on a computer. But storing it physically is safer than having it on a device it’s all pros and cons. I think having as many layers of security is the best possible protective practice because you want to approach your data from a risk analyst point of view. Cloud Storage isn’t bad but it’s not perfect either. All it takes is a few employees to exploit their authorisation to transfer data from the server to some external drive over the internet or high-speed cable to leak terabytes of data in minutes

Hi and thanks for this informational video! What would you say about Raven Cloud? They offer a very interesting concept in combination with there really great scanner. Is it secure to save all personal documents in their cloud? They offer HIPAA Compliance and Encryption (Transport ans Rest). Thanks for a short reply 😊

Looks like boxcryptor has been bought out and imbedded by dropbox. Good ole Capitalism I guess.

Nicely done.

Now that Boxcryptor free is no longer available, what do you recommend?

You forgot one of the most critical points, and it is security against a ransomware attack. Currently, the 2 popular clouds services that truly offer it, are Onedrive and Dropbox (premium subscription). Since I almost suffered the loss of my data, I decided to discard any service that does not have such protection.

Very good tutorial, thanks!

Even as someone who prefers home storage, ask yourself: If you can't trust cloud storage, then why do you trust your bank?

It's not safe. He's lying

Sync ?

Police raid me for threads, anyways they had pictures from the cloud to indentify me pretty scary stuff. Like my Google disk stuff

Appreciate your video, could you include your views on Tresorit?

What about haveing my own personal iCloud that’s not linked to anything
My own app owning my own server
With my things on it ??

We know these are secure from mediocre hackers but say are they willing to sell data to Govs with billions of $ maybe even tyrannical sanctioned Govs with middle man invisible to these companies?

There a are free open source alternative that are also more trustworthy...
Cryptomator
Rclone

You mentioned that you like having options available to you or something to that effect - for that reason I'm disappointed that VeraCrypt wasn't mentioned. It might be overkill for some of the less advanced users but it really lets you have control of all the knobs, is open source, free, and feature packed.

Why is tax data the largest secret you have in the US? In Sweden or some other EU countries its public information what people earn.

Cryptomator is better, because open source.

you said you store sensitive data “in a special encrypted vault backed up in 2 places”. can you elaborate on this more? I believe you’re referring to your hardware encrypted Aegis USB. What would the other place be (say, if you were to lose that USB or something)?

Principal of least privilege is the best thing you can trust. Use good old fashioned HDD.

The problem i see here is money, i don't have money sufficient to pay google, dropbox or onedrive to storage my stuff...

You forgot MEGA

You mentioned what happens if Dropbox goes out of business but what about Boxcryptor? This is the second video I’ve watched tonight that mentioned Boxcryptor and so my question after watching the first and now this one is …. What if you use this company’s encryption product and then they go out of business? How would you be able to view or edit your encrypted files? Thankyou.

Another great video, thank you! Question: How does boxcryptor compares for example to RAR with password? That way everything happens locally.

Algorithm.

I noticed you didn't mention MEGA. Is MEGA safe for cloud storage? Please let me know and great video!

Unless they changed Microsoft One Drive refused to allow me to upload my encrypted data therefore, I went elsewhere.

No cloud service is secure, make your own backups on your own drives and keep them safe

OneDrive has a private vault inside of it, so you need a second with to get in and that vault automatically closes when you stop using it.
For my money, OD is the best value at 7TB for $99, plus everything else that office gives you.

Thank you very much Josh

Nice tips.

Love it

Check the privacy polices of the provider you are considering. Look for ones that specifically state that they do not scan your data. Can can have 2FA but this won’t help you when the cloud provider is scanning your data to fill their pockets. Still, client side encrypt any file you wouldn’t want put on a public forum. That is the best piece of advice here.

Another great video. Thanks again, Josh.

Amazing content bro. Keep up the good work!

If this guys recommend any thing about security, I’ll use it

Thanks Josh - I suggest the video for Boxcryptor :) Love it
