Starting from Syncrify version 1.4, users can backup an encrypted version of their files to the server. When files are encrypted they cannot be seen/opened by anyone unless they know the password that was used to encrypt it.
It is important you read this article in its entirety before using this feature.
Encrypting files has its pros and cons. The benefit is obvious: the only reason you would want to encrypt any file is to prevent non-authorized users from accessing it.
To use encryption simply click on the encryption tab, select the option for encryption and specify a password. The password cannot be more than 16 characters long. Refer to the image below.
For your convenience, Syncrify client includes a tool that can be used to encrypt/decrypt files on demand.
Go to Tools > Encrypt/Decrypt files from the Tools menu. This opens the following screen:
This screen is used to either encrypt/decrypt a single file or every file in a folder. When an Included sub-folder is checked, files will be included recursively.
IMPORTANT: This tool does not change the file name when it is either encrypted or decrypted.
