Forums/User Guide : Jungle Disk Server Edition

Configuration : Encryption

Support Nov 04, 2009

PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME OF THE OPTIONS MAY NOT BE VISIBLE UNLESS THE "SHOW ADVANCED OPTIONS" FEATURE IS ENABLED IN THE LOWER LEFT SECTION OF THE CONFIGURATION.

 

The Jungle Disk Server Edition encrypts all network traffic our cloud storage providers automatically.  As an added level of security, you can choose to store your files in an encrypted format on the servers as well.  Your files are encrypted before they are uploaded and can only be decrypted using your private online disk password.

WARNING: Do not lose or forget your password.  If you do, you will not be able to access your files and Jungle Disk will not have the ability to recover your files.

Encryption for Jungle Disk 2.0 online disks has been simplified to use a online disk password.  To enable encryption for the selected online disk, choose a password that is difficult for others to guess.    Again, do not lose or forget this password as your files cannot be retrieved without the bucket password.

Once you have enabled encryption, you can opt to change the online disk password or remove encryption all together.  It is important to note that if you disable encryption, any new files that you upload will not be stored in an encrypted format.  Any existing encrypted files will still remain encrypted, however, the encryption key will be stored along with the files so they can be accessed without your online disk password in the future.
