Syncdocs keeps your Google Drive safe from Ransomware

Announcement posted by Syncdocs 04 Jun 2021

Version history and encryption add extra layers of protection to Google Drive files

Recent Australian ransomware attacks against businesses large and small have highlighted the need to protect data from criminals. Ransomware prevents users from accessing their files. A worrying new development is cyber-criminals releasing sensitive corporate data if a ransom is not paid.

Syncdocs defends against ransomware on two fronts:
1. It secures files with an extra layer of security, meaning no sensitive data is exposed
2. It provides a safe and easy way to restore any data lost from the cloud

Protect Google Drive

Australian developed Syncdocs is the first solution to provide fully automatic end-to-end encryption for Google Drive.  Syncdocs also allows users to restore their data to the pre-ransomware state, thanks to full versioning of all files and folders in the cloud.

Google only secures the Google Drive data while in transit, not at rest. That means anyone who can hack the Google account can access your Google Drive files. It is also all too easy to mistakenly share a sensitive file.

Syncdocs is different: it encrypts Google Drive files locally, before they ever leave your PC, Mac or phone. Files and folders are securely protected in the cloud with military-strength AES256 encryption.
