FileCloud also provides Zero Trust File Sharing® an industry first innovation that allows users to share sensitive data via an encrypted zip file that cannot be accessed by unauthorized user	About Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time, safely protected from prying eyes. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, whether it is shared with some third party, and how it's transmitted over the internet. None of your data is ever stored anywhere else other than on your computers. There is no central server that might be compromised, legally or illegally. All communication is secured using TLS. The encryption used includes perfect forward secrecy to prevent any eavesdropper from ever gaining access to your data. Every device is identified by a strong cryptographic certificate. Only devices you have explicitly allowed can connect to your other devices. The protocol is a documented specification — no hidden magic. Any bugs found are immediately visible for anyone to browse — no hidden flaws.
