With it, we can share documents, pictures, videos, and other files in only a few clicks. Much like Google Drive, Icedrive is an excellent productivity app. We can upload, view, edit, and remove files with ease. I just checked and they seem to market their storage as being completely E2EE.In terms of file management, Icedrive is exceptionally convenient, especially for a newcomer. I just bought the LITE plan so I have plenty of time to refund my purchase if I dont find Icedrive suitable, but I would really like to be able to see clearly in this matter. I'm not saying I'm afraid Icedrive eployees has no better past time activity than to scan my non-encrypted folder's content or that I wanna upload illegal material, I would just like to be able to see clear about the encryption and how a non-encrypted storage poses threats. It kind of defeats the point, since encrypted files can not be shared, only 'accessible' files can, but what if I wanna share a file with some sensitive information? Should I put it into the non encrypted folder to be able to send? How that affects security?

So only the encrypted folder is what Icedrive has no access to? Anything else in the 'normal' folder can theoretically be accessed by any Icedrive employee? I thought that encryption applies to the whole drive (sort of like or am I being mistaken here too?)

However, most cloud storage providers charge additional amounts for end-to-end encryption similar to what we offer whereas we include this feature free in all of our paid plans which is why you have the two separate sections. It may by that operate in a similar fashion which is why they may be suggesting that they are encrypted everywhere as technically this is true.

Uploaded files are scanned by a malicious software detector to protect both our servers and customers from any potential malware threats. Our software can access the files in order to allow streaming, thumbnails, previews etc.

Here is the answer in it's complete form:įiles that you store in your normal 'MyIcedrive' section are stored on an encrypted partition on our servers so would technically be classed as encrypted but you can share and download without having to input an encryption key. If you could give me a complete and sincere comparison between the two kind of storage on my dashboard that would be lovely.

How is that possible? Do I not understand something right? By no means I'd like you to bash, I merely share my thoughts on this matter. I don't have a subsrciption at any other cloud service, but I have a free account at where they market their service having complete encription everywhere, yet I'm able to share my stuff via link and I also did not need to set an encryption key. theoretically access, scan, check the files I upload into the non-encrypted folder? I'm not saying you would do that, I'm just asking this because I'd like to fully understand how the security actually works here. Could you - Icedrive employees, technicians etc. But I would like to know how exactly the non-encrypted folder compares to the encrypted folder. It sheds light on some important information. I have contacted support about this matter.
