Q

What is uasbility for the SpiderOak?

A

The only way to get complete adoption is with a service that “just works” and “works everywhere”, which is why SpiderOak specializes in creating solutions that take the pain out of encryption software, regardless of the operating system.

Our apps are truly cross platform, so that you can access your data from anywhere.
You can share files and folders easily via our password protected ShareRooms, to make collaboration and distribution trivial.
Feel free to “set and forget” the SpiderOak backup client, so your files are backed up automatically from boot to power-off.

Q

A

SpiderOak has been building products on the principle of No Knowledge for over ten years. No Knowledge means we know nothing about the encrypted data you store on our servers. This unique design means nothing leaves your computer until after it is encrypted and is never decrypted until it is unlocked with your password on your computer. It’s not just “end to end encryption;” it’s a No Knowledge System.
