There are a ton of online syncing and storage services, but not all of them locally encrypt your data for higher security. Just out of limited beta, Tresorit is a new Dropbox alternative with client-side encryption. The company offers 5GB of free space, but for a limited time Lifehacker readers can grab 50GB free for life.

Tresorit's biggest selling point is the strong security. Your files and folders are encrypted before they're uploaded to the cloud

To get technical about it:

Files are encrypted with AES-256 before being uploaded to the cloud. Additional security is provided before upload by HMAC message authentication codes applied on SHA-512 hashes. Encrypted files are uploaded to the cloud using TLS-protected channels.

On the downside, there's no web-based access for your files, people you share folders with will also need the software installed, and it takes a few seconds longer for your synced files to appear on another computer (probably because of the encryption that has to happen first).

    Sorry Mac Users

    Don't be sorry, it's their fault they bought an inferior product

      I have a Macbook Air for uni and a sli gaming laptop.
      No way is the Mac inferior, they are better for productivity and organization
      But my bad boy Y500 blows the Mac in terms of performance.
      Unless I'm gaming, I spend most of my time on my mac.
      I have an 8X which is an awesome phone but I don't prefer the interface on the laptop cause I only use the desktop

      • DrStinge on 18/04/2013 - 22:50

        Macbook Air might be a good piece of hardware but OS X doesn't blow smoke in terms of productivity or organisation. Having shell is nice but being Office and easier file system management is nicer.

    Just signed up. Thanks for the heads up.

    …logged in, ran the application and it crashed…."Assertion Failed"

    • easternculture on 18/04/2013 - 16:19

        Application crashed when it was trying to login.
        Not to worry - just reopened the app and appears to be working fine now.
        I can confirm the 50gb free space.

    This is interesting:

    They're holding a contest and will award 10,000 USD (and the answer to the 'Ultimate Question in Life') to anyone who can hack their systems and find the answer to the Ultimate Question.

      I'll create a GUI interface using Visual Basic. See if I can hack the client side encryption.

  • Titus Afishes on 18/04/2013 - 16:38

    Pardon my ignorance,…Are the required apps Mac compatible?

  • Yanoflies on 18/04/2013 - 16:43

    How do I know if I got the 50GB? I accidently installed the non-lifehacker edition but removed it and reinstalled the right one (blame the thumbnail).

      • Yanoflies on 18/04/2013 - 17:23

        Thanks, mine didn't pop up until I restarted it for the third time.

        Looks like I've got 5GB :(.

    • LivinginEastwood on 18/04/2013 - 17:35

      lol I did the same. So is that it? Any way to get the 50 GB offer? :(
      Wish OP linked to the actual lifehacker file, not their homepage..

      • easternculture on 18/04/2013 - 17:42

        sorry :(

        it wont allow me to change the url

        • LivinginEastwood on 18/04/2013 - 18:05

          Lol, no need to apologise, I should've been more careful. Thanks for sharing the deal.

        • Dismo on 18/04/2013 - 18:08

          Email [email protected], they seem to be hooking people up with 50GB if you initially got 5GB for whatever reason.

  • WaffleCrusader on 18/04/2013 - 16:56

    So many cloud options!

    Tresorit (weird name?) uses Windows Azure instead of Amazon for anyone wondering.
    Can't decide whether to use my 20GB Dropbox, 50GB Box or this! Ugh…

    • ameel on 18/04/2013 - 17:15

      I wouldn't use Box until (unless they've already done so) fix/implement/allow creating and managing sub-folders. It just gets too messy to save 50GB of data in a flat folder.

      also "tresorit" = "treasure it", although it's somewhat inaccurate translation from english to french if that's what they actually intended (i.e. "tresor" isn't a verb in french)

      • DaaC on 18/04/2013 - 17:44

        Box allows sub folders

      • RocketSwitch on 18/04/2013 - 18:35

        Box is great.

      • Elijah on 18/04/2013 - 20:33

      • NigelTufnel on 19/04/2013 - 09:12

        Signed up for this too. Thanks!

    • Diogenes on 27/04/2013 - 11:24

      It's Anglicised-Frog for 'Treasure It' - "<i>Trésor</i>" in "Surrender-ese" (Froggish) is 'treasure' in proper talk (English).

      That's also why each folder-set is called a 'tresor' (note there's no accent on the e: proper-talk writing doesn't need - or do - stupid accents that the smelly foreigners use when they scrawl their gibberish).

      If you read the FAQ on their encryption techniques, you will see a lot of "Euranglais" (Euro-English) like "How my password is managed in Tresorit?"… which sounds a bit like Manuel from Fawlty Towers if you say it right. Had they left off the question mark it would have passed muster.

  • ameel on 18/04/2013 - 17:12

    Pretty cool idea their hacking contest at http://tresorit.com/contest-rules

    They've got a good sense of humour and are willing to have their product tested. Solid marketing effort and confidence in their product!

  • SnakeDoctor on 18/04/2013 - 17:38

    Thanks =)

  • scupper on 18/04/2013 - 18:00

    Not convinced. I should be able to give my own encryption key before I can trust sensitive files to an online service.

    • Diogenes on 27/04/2013 - 11:30

      All of these things are primarily for a <b>sense</b> of security - I'm also chary of uploading anything sensitive to server storage unless (a) the connection is straight-through SSL; (b) the app (if any) is open-source; (c) the encryption keys (and choice of algorithm cascade) is under my direct control. Hence, to my way of thinking anything properly sensitive requires TrueCrypt - almost nothing else will do: even things with good key-control like FileLocker are not open source. Syncing with TrueCrypt is a pain, though.

      That said: by and large that level of paranoia is only relevant if you're storing stuff that has legal consequences if it falls into the wrong hands - i.e., sensitive client files or negotiation notes, or stuff that might interest some .gov tax-fed goon.

    • Diogenes on 27/04/2013 - 11:24

      I so nearly made the same mistake - you need to sign up through the LifeHacker link.

    The free license for the standard Kingsoft 2012 is just for a year until end of 2013 (2012.11.1 - 2013.12.31)

  • bchliu on 18/04/2013 - 21:35

    No. I just installed it and its the full thing without time limits. The email basically meant that the key is usable up to the end of the year (presumably the newer version wont work with the same key from that point on).

  • VehemenceThePhoenix on 18/04/2013 - 21:57

    downloaded and installed. Good to just get the 50GB, but seriously, nothing comes close to the functionality and usability of dropbox IMO

  • boogerthe2nd on 18/04/2013 - 22:41

    I get a "The service is unavailable." message going to the 50GB registration link now…

    • easternculture on 18/04/2013 - 23:04

      we ozbargained their server

      • TimeOrMoney on 18/04/2013 - 23:17

        Or someone decided to "test" their security claims.

  • Shwayne on 18/04/2013 - 22:51

    Their registration server seems to be down.

    SEEMS RELIABLE.

  • jasef on 18/04/2013 - 22:57

    Anyone else getting the same key each time?

  • jasef on 18/04/2013 - 22:57

  • seek on 18/04/2013 - 23:09

    registration link is down!!!

    • easternculture on 18/04/2013 - 23:17

      The power of ozbargain !!

      We cant really tell how many actual clicks on the link as ozbargain counts the clicks made on the main url submitted and the registration link is posted in main body of deal

      Im guessing if the main url has ~ 1500 clicks, then the registration link would have at least double making it around 3000 clicks, but again its a guestimate

      Would 3000 registrations be enough to cripple their server (also not counting the registrations coming from lifehacker and other forums)

  • TimeOrMoney on 19/04/2013 - 00:16

    It's back up.

    • Shwayne on 19/04/2013 - 01:34

      Thanks, got it.

  • brettule on 19/04/2013 - 07:14

    Do you retain the encryption key or does Tresorit?

  • RedHab on 19/04/2013 - 08:51

    I prefer using a better known provider like Google Drive. They will be around in a years time. Just encrypt the Google Drive content with a service like Syncdocs http://syncdocs.com

    • easternculture on 19/04/2013 - 22:32

      Just encrypt the Google Drive content with a service like Syncdocs http://syncdocs.com

      But its not free

      Access all the power features, sync unlimited files and PCs for only $1.66 a month.

  • GreenGuava on 19/04/2013 - 13:35

    So what happens if you have to reinstall your PC or buy a new PC altogether? I'm guessing there would be some way to do this without losing access to your files?

    • SteveBuscemi on 19/04/2013 - 19:21
