Key features of SpiderOak:

Comprehensive security

The important data in SpiderOak only you can read. Most online storage systems only encrypt your data during transmission meaning that anyone can access the data stored on the server (for example, company employees. ). Or even if your data is encrypted during storage, your password (the key encryption setting) is usually stored along with the data, so anyone can decrypt it when accessing. into the server. With SpiderOak, you can create passwords on your own computer, not on a web form on the SpiderOak server. After creating a password, a powerful function key is used to generate an encryption key using that password, and does not leave any trace of the original password.

SpiderOak encrypts comprehensive data, even when accessing the storage server, employees can not know what data the server has, including the names of files and folders. On SpiderOak, employees can only see numbers on encrypted data. This means that you must remember your password or ' Password Hint ' (which you can create to remember) to create a 'zero-knowledge environment' to keep your data safe.

Design tolerances

SpiderOak is designed based on extremely accurate technology system, with an error of 0.0000%.

Eliminate redundant storage

Do you have two copies of the same file? Or in a folder whose files were renamed 10 or 20 times? SpiderOak will detect redundancy in these situations and help you save online storage space. In addition, SpiderOak stores all versions history of any document (even if it has not been renamed) as well as allows you to update changes at a high speed. As a data distribution tool, you can access files on SpiderOak from any computer. For example, you can back up a song on your office computer and also access it on your home computer. If you have many similar songs on both computers, it won't cost you any extra space in your account.

Retain all versions

SpiderOak stores all version history of each file. This is a very important feature in a backup application. For example, you accidentally saved another document in your thesis. The easy solution is to simply go to your backup software and get the old version. If the backup software does not retain version history, your new thesis will be overwritten and cannot be restored. Although the version history is encrypted and only stored on the server, SpiderOak will detect the similarities between the old version and the new version and only save changes.

Access from multiple devices in real time

When you back up files on SpiderOak, you can view them in real time throughout the SpiderOak network. The redundant removal function is also possible on many devices. For example, if you have a music collection on both desktop and laptop computers, you can back up both using SpiderOak without using the space twice.

Access from anywhere

In the SpiderOak application, you can view and download all backed up data via the SpiderOak network, including files on Macs and PCs. For example, you can access documents in desktop computers while traveling abroad with Mac laptops. If you are away from the computer, SpiderOak allows you to access data remotely via the SpiderOak website using ' My Login '. This function is really convenient for you to access the data remotely when needed.

Important note: when accessing your data through the SpiderOak website, you must enter the password, after which the data will remain in the SpiderOak server memory for the duration of your browsing. After exiting the browser, the password will be canceled and no longer have any traces left.

Share securely

You can create a ShareRoom by selecting any folder from several computers. ShareRoom can be accessed as a web URL or enter the user's ShareID and RoomKey on the SpiderOak homepage. This function allows you to invite others to view your documents, photos, movies, .

In addition, when you add or edit a folder in a ShareRoom, users can see those changes when they have access to ShareRoom. This function is extremely effective when you constantly update new changes on the FTP web or send large files via email.
