Home poluobnazhonka, passport data, exclusive information, the presentation of hard-won, commercial details, outline books - is only a small part of the information that you want to share with the encryption and protection of the environment copy. And here free Digify stand you in good stead.
Snapchat's popularity is largely due to auto-delete messages, which gives a great communication swagger freedom. The two sides are not worried about Sparrow words behind which then need to chase. Digify borrows the successful idea, but implementing it is not for correspondence and for the transmission of files for review. Use obvious: any content or with a history of heavy stamp would be viewed by the addressee secrets protection against replay or dubbing. Here's how it works.
After registration (supports hot signed in via Google profile) you will be prompted to connect your cloud drives Dropbox or GDrive, although this step is not necessary and, in fact, you can share files directly from the hard disk of a computer or smartphone.
Digify - multi-tool with the browser version and the mobile applications for iOS and Android.
Service understands the standard office files (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint), as well as friends with the popular photo format. Why is not any content? The fact that Digify is very correct, but a very specific procedure for access to posted information. What, what? explain: Service does not transfer destination file itselfInstead he handles it on its servers, converts to a particular time format, and then broadcasts (Stream) information to the recipient. This approach eliminates the transmission even bytes of the source file to the destination device, protecting it from every possible copying and transmitting to a third party. It is understood that a stable Internet connection is required to view the document.
The entire chain of operations is securely encrypted using AES-256 technology. By the way, this is one of the most protected methods used in banking institutions and military structures. Of course, Digify employees do not have access to the encryption keys that still slightly raises the overall security of the bar.
Digify has two levels of security share files:
- Standard - allows you to view content in any browser (but only after authorization in service), which entails the lack of protection from the screencast;
- Confidential - oblige the recipient to install the mobile client, which implies a certain protection from screen capture.
And here I want to make a small comment. So, when using the second side of Android, all attempts to capture a screenshot are unsuccessful: the application has the right to block a user's behavior. With iOS situation is slightly different because of the limitations associated with large closed most OSes. Screenshot make out, but it recognizes the sender through a special notification, and the file itself will not be available.
Of course, the recipient can hold the camera at the ready, or install a special application to screencast (I successfully tested), but from such scenarios to protect all unrealistic.
In addition to the listed owner of the file has the right to:
- set the content of life from the moment of its opening, from minutes to months;
- instantly close access at the slightest need;
- get acquainted with the statistics display.
The result is that Digify - very very useful thing for those who need to carefully show their works for an advance or those who are unbearable to share something personal. The service provides such opportunities, and does its job with the highest level of data security. Recall that the service Digify worthless for both casual users and for the business community. Take it on a note one day he will come in handy.
