Encrypting files when uploading them to the cloud is a security and privacy measure that can protect our information from possible attacks or unauthorised access. Encryption is a process by which data is transformed into a secret code that can only be read by whoever has the key to decrypt it. This prevents the data from being intercepted, modified or stolen by third parties.

To upload your encrypted files to the cloud, you can use Air Explorer. One of the functions of the program is to upload encrypted files, you can also upload files with the name also encrypted.

To activate the encryption function when uploading, you only have to activate the button in the Explore window. As long as you have this button activated, the files will be uploaded encrypted.

When you enable encryption on upload, you have to choose a password and, if you want, you can choose whether to encrypt the file and folder names as well.

Another tool you can use to encrypt your files when uploading them to the cloud is Air Explorer for Android. From your mobile device, with the Air Explorer for Android app you can also upload your files to the cloud and choose to encrypt them when uploading.

If you want to download the encrypted files from the cloud website to your PC directly without using any software, they are downloaded encrypted. Once downloaded, you can decrypt them using Air Explorer. Just open Air Explorer, use the Explore panel to locate the encrypted files and right-click/decrypt.
