Despite their smart functionality, cloud synchronization applications don't have much to offer in terms of security. Fortunately, you can make up for such functionality gaps with third party applications. Sookasa brings a powerful encryption protocol to DropBox, as well as other security features. The application is fully compliant with HIPAA and FERPA and it can be integrated into DropBox seamlessly, so you won't feel like you are using a different application.

Sookasa is available in free and paid versions, for Windows and Mac OS X and for Android and iOS mobile platforms. Downloading and installing the application is not a challenging task and it should not take more than a minute. It doesn't ask for additional drivers or other tools, but it should be fairly obvious that you need to have DropBox installed on your computer.

Once installed, Sookasa will create a new folder in your DropBox sync folder. Anything you store in this folder will be encrypted automatically, before being uploaded to the cloud by DropBox. You can use the same sharing options, provided by DropBox, but you can also use Sookasa's own options, to control which specific persons may have access to your encrypted data.

Sookasa comes with its own online dashboard, from which you can invite people to access your data, manage encrypted and unencrypted data on DropBox, audit files and devices and much more. A particularly interesting feature is the application's file delivery system. Besides sending data in a secure manner even to people who don't have Sookasa, you can also securely receive files from these people. All you have to do is send them a link and you will find the received data in the same Sookasa folder.

The audit system is another feature that enhances the application's security. It provides with with a clear picture of each file access, added device, and many other events. You will always know what files have been accessed or modified and by whom.

Pros

You can encrypt the files you upload to DropBox. The application allows you to share your encrypted data without any effort. Also, Sookasa's audit system will let you know what files have been accessed and by whom.

Cons

Sookasa doesn't work with other cloud applications. Regardless of what you store in your DropBox, Sookasa will protect everything with its powerful security features.
