Google Drive trenutno je među vodećim potrošačkim oblak platformama na webu, što znači da mi kao korisnici moramo zahtijevati višu razinu sigurnosti i privatnosti od diva pretraživanja. Ne možemo vjerovati Googleu^(Google) da će to učiniti 100 posto, a to ima puno veze s potrebom tvrtke za korisničkim podacima.

Osigurajte svoje datoteke na Google disku

Dakle, sada se postavlja pitanje kako možemo koristiti Google disk^{(Google Drive)} , ali u isto vrijeme čuvati naše datoteke što sigurnijim^{(keep our files as secure)} ? Pa, odgovor je zaista jednostavan. Moramo iskoristiti prednosti alata trećih strana kako bismo osigurali svoje datoteke prije nego što ih prenesemo na platformu.

Da, znamo da Google štiti vaše datoteke tijekom procesa učitavanja, ali ih također dešifrira u svrhu analize datoteka, a zatim šifrira sve nakon toga. Dodatno, valja istaknuti da korisnik nikada nema kontrolu nad ključevima za enkripciju, a to po našem mišljenju nikada nije dobro.

2. Cryptomator
3. RClone s kriptom
4. Microsoft Word
5. VeraCrypt

Sada ćemo o tome detaljnije razgovarati.

1] Boxcryptor

Sviđa nam se ono što Boxcryptor ima za ponuditi zbog svoje jednostavnosti korištenja. Kada instalirate Boxcryptor , alat će instalirati virtualni pogon na vaše računalo, a odatle će na pogon dodati pružatelje usluga u oblaku kao što je Google Drive . Vidite, usluga je u osnovi dodatni sloj sigurnosti povrh onoga što se već nudi.

Šifrirat će svaku datoteku u oblaku na disku i druge koje prenesete u budućnosti. Dobra vijest je da alat nudi AES-256 sa sigurnošću šifriranja RSA-4096 , i to je lijepo.

Posjetite službenu web stranicu^{(official website)} . Imaju i besplatan plan.

2] Kriptomator

Ovo nam je vjerojatno najdraže jer je besplatno, a također i otvorenog koda. Izvorni kod je analiziran više puta i rezultati su pokazali da nema backdoor-a. Nadalje, ne morate se registrirati da biste ga koristili.

Sviđa nam se činjenica da Cryptomator koristi nešto što se zove transparentna enkripcija. Kada se ovo koristi, korisnik nema pojma da se datoteke šifriraju jer nastavljaju normalno funkcionirati. I ne samo to, tu je i dodatak Cryptomator trezora koji je spremljen na Google Drive .

Dok trezor živi na Google disku^{(Google Drive)} , korisniku se daje virtualni tvrdi disk da se igra sa svojim datotekama. Alat također šifrira svaku datoteku dodanu u trezor pojedinačno. Sada, dok je program besplatan za korištenje na stolnim računalima^(Desktop) , ljudi koji ga žele koristiti na mobilnom uređaju moraju platiti malu naknadu.

3] RClone s kriptom

Da li više volite koristiti programe koji se temelje na naredbenom retku umjesto onih sa snažnim grafičkim korisničkim sučeljem? Pa^(Well) šampione, na pravom ste mjestu s Rcloneom^(Rclone) . Sinkronizirat će datoteke i direktorije s Google diska^{(Google Drive)} .

Međutim, najbolji aspekt ovog alata je funkcija kripte. Šifrirat će datoteke na vašem računalu prije nego što se učitaju na Google disk^{(Google Drive)} . Da biste bolje razumjeli kako to učiniti, pogledajte video ispod.

Posjetite službenu web stranicu^{(official website)} .

4] Microsoft Word

Jedna od najboljih opcija za korištenje je Microsoft Word . Prije prijenosa dokumenata na Google disk^{(Google Drive)} , možete odlučiti koristiti alat za šifriranje dokumenta. Sada, šifriranje nije duboka stvar, već prije zaključavanje lozinkom.

Izvršite zadatak tako što ćete otići na File > Info > Protect Document > Encrypt with Password . Nakon toga učitajte dokument na Google Drive i to je to.

5] VeraCrypt

Još jedna besplatna opcija na popisu nije ništa drugo nego VeraCrypt . Program nije samo besplatan, već je i otvorenog koda i radi s gotovo svim davateljima usluga u oblaku, što uključuje Google Drive .

Pomoću ovog alata korisnik može stvoriti šifrirani spremnik, a zatim ga prenijeti na uslugu u oblaku po izboru. Također trebamo napomenuti da VeraCrypt nije user-friendly, ali kada u potpunosti shvatite kako stvari funkcioniraju, onda bi se stvari nakon toga trebale glatko odvijati.

Imajte na umu da za nastavak pristupa spremniku na Google disku^{(Google Drive)} morate uvijek imati instaliran VeraCrypt na računalu.

How to encrypt and secure your files on Google Drive

Google Drive is among the top consumer cloud platform on the web right now, which means, we as users must demand a higher level of security and privacy from the search giant. We cannot trust Google to do this 100 percent, and it has much to do with the company’s need for user data.

Secure your files on Google Drive

So, the question right now is, how can we use Google Drive, but at the same time, keep our files as secure as possible? Well, the answer is simple, really. We must take advantage of third-party tools to secure our files before uploading them to the platform.

Yes, we do know that Google protects your files during the upload process, but it also decrypts them for the purpose of analyzing the files, then encrypts everything after. Additionally, we should point out that the user is never in control of the encryption keys, and that is never a good thing from our view.

1. Boxcryptor
2. Cryptomator
3. RClone with Crypt
4. Microsoft Word
5. VeraCrypt

We will now discuss this in more detail.

1] Boxcryptor

We like what Boxcryptor has to offer due to its ease of use. When you install Boxcryptor, the tool will install a virtual drive on your computer, and from there, it will add cloud providers such as Google Drive to the drive. You see, the service is basically an extra layer of security on top of what is already offered.

It will encrypt every cloud file on the drive and others you upload in the future. The good news is, the tool offers AES-256 with RSA-4096 encryption security, and that’s nice.

Visit the official website. They have a free plan too.

2] Cryptomator

This is probably our favorite because it’s free, and also open source. The source code has been analyzed multiple times and the results have shown there are no backdoors. Furthermore, you do not have to register to use it.

We like the fact that Cryptomator uses something that is called transparent encryption. When this is in use, the user has no idea the files are being encrypted as they continue to act normally. Not only that, but there is the addition of the Cryptomator vault that is saved on Google Drive.

While the vault lives on Google Drive, the user is given a virtual hard drive to play around with their files. The tool also encrypts every file added to the vault individually. Now, while the program is free to use on Desktop, folks who want to make use of it on mobile must pay a small fee.

3] RClone with Crypt

Do you prefer to use a command-line based program instead of ones with a strong graphical user interface? Well champ, you’re in the right place with Rclone. It will synchronize files and directories from Google Drive.

The best aspect of this tool, however, is the crypt function. It will encrypt files on your computer before they are uploaded to Google Drive. To have a deeper understanding of how to do this, please watch the video below.

Visit the official website.

4] Microsoft Word

One of the best options to take advantage of is Microsoft Word. Before uploading documents to Google Drive, you can decide to use the tool to encrypt the document first. Now, the encryption isn’t a deep thing, but rather a password lock.

Perform the task by navigating to File > Info > Protect Document > Encrypt with Password. After that, upload the document to Google Drive and that’s it.

5] VeraCrypt

Another free option on the list is no other than VeraCrypt. The program is not only free, but also open-source, and it works with almost any cloud service provider, which includes Google Drive.

With this tool, the user can create an encrypted container, then upload the container to a cloud service of choice. We should also note that VeraCrypt is not user-friendly, but once you fully understand how things work, then things should move smoothly after that.

Note that to continue having access to the container in Google Drive, you must have VeraCrypt installed on your computer at all times.
