Encrypting files on Google Drive and DropBox

Idea: Any good? Seems to be an (institutional only?) tool to provide employees a secure, professional, easy to encrypt files when using Dropbox (Google Drive, etc).

Q: Scalable //down// to just a Research group, versus a Department or all of Cornell?

  • I means scalable in terms of cost, administrative overhead, technology infrastructure and skills, etc.

They claim: Use Envault Cloud Protection (ECP) to extend Dropbox by transparently adding the following:

  • Encryption where YOU (the employer) control the keys in a fully transparent manner so that your employees do not need to worry about creating and managing passwords
  • Audit trail of all documents shared by whom and with whom
  • Ability to see if any individuals may be sharing more than they should
  • Share and Unshare control
  • Ability to switch cloud vendors easily and at will
  • Better ease of use and look and feel than native Dropbox
  • A per user cost that is a fraction of other solutions such as Box, Egnyte and others.
