The German software company Stackfield positions itself with its innovative and unique encryption technology effective against almost any spy attempts from unauthorized places. Despite the fact that Stackfield is not exactly a cloud storage platform, we will take the opportunity to have a look at it, because it is definitely a good system for online business planning and collaboration, as well as file storing and sharing. By using the latest encryption technology Stackfield offers a safe solution for team collaboration within a company and also with business partners in the cloud. The service is inexpensive, but its price grows gradually with the number of users you add.
It is not a secret that the local governments, and mostly the United States government, have wide access to any data stored in the public cloud and the social networks. This generates fear among common and business users about the safety of their data and files. And it is understandable. That is why most cloud storage platforms are putting a lot of effort to apply encryption systems in order to protect your personal information and data.
Almost any cloud storage service now provides encrypted data transfer between your devices and their servers, but there the data becomes unencrypted and is therefore accessible for at least the service employees. Now, let's say you store your very private photos in the cloud and they go in the hands of third parties, for example the NSA. Uncool, right? But how about we replace word "photo" by "confidential client information with price list" or "patent application". The degree of disaster and confidence loss is clear.
Stackfield has developed an encryption technology using which the transmission of sensitive corporate and customer data is as safe as possible. By the client-side encryption prior to data transmission and data storage in the user's browser, it is ensured that unauthorized persons, not even the employees of Stackfield, can decrypt or see the data. This is not a particularly unique technology, since we have seen it in other file storage platforms as well, but Stackfield provides additional business collaboration services, such as team management, which differentiates it from other cloud service providers.
