Best Free Encryption Utility for 

Cloud Storage

Most cloud services, Dropbox for example, take "every precaution" to keep your data secure. For example, they use SSL encryption to make sure that your files are secure in transit. Once your files arrive though, some of them store them in uncrypted form on their servers. They use "internal policies and controls" to ensure that employees don't access your files. But there are outsiders who probably know how to gain access to your encrypted files.

That's where encryption programs like SpiderOak, Tresorit and Viivo come in. They provide client-side encryption to protect your files from access in transit and at rest. Or from the more usual threat of a rogue employee gaining access your files. Automatic client-side encryption assures that your files never leave your computer in an unencrypted state.

On-the-fly encryption is the the most convenient way to protect your files the cloud. Your programs have direct access to the unencrypted contents of your files, and the on-the-fly encryption process presents the encrypted files to the cloud. Once on-the-fly encryption is set up, the smooth, client-side conversion requires no direct action by the user. But because encryption adds complexity, it makes local backup even more important.
