Encrypted communication

Please see the diagram below to get a basic understanding of the architecture.

Overview:



Encrypted transfers

Data transfers between the desktop clients and the server are encrypted using latest AES/RSA encryption standards.

Data transfers between the mobile apps or a browser and the server are encrypted using SSL (a certificate must be installed on the server side).

Encrypted storage

In PowerFolder Cloud all data is stored encrypted at rest using AES.

If you want  end-to-end encryption of stored data using PowerFolder client- and PowerFolder server-side,please use the following third-party tools, which work very well for increased security:
