Development continues on our Windows client for DigitalBucket.net, and we still need beta testers! Read on.
If it's your first time coming across our site, or this product, here's a quick run-down:
DigitalBucket.net is a web-based file management service, similar to Box.net and, now, Google Docs (with their recent 'upload any file' feature).
We've created a .NET client that connects to DigitalBucket.net and allows you to manage your files much like you do in My Documents, while keeping them absolutely private using encryption. Specifically this client:
- Encrypts files before they enter the cloud, so your data never leaves your computer without being made completely private first.
- Lets you double-click to edit files, even though they're in the cloud and encrypted! Similar to My Documents, just double-click the file you want to edit, and our client automatically downloads, decrypts, and opens it in your editor, e.g. Word, Excel, etc.
- Is a fully integrated Windows application, so it gives you quite a bit more power than a web interface, like letting you just drap-and-drop files to encrypt and upload to DigitalBucket.net
Read this post if you want a bit more detail.
This is an update to the client, which is in beta. So we've fixed some issues, and also added the ability to right-click on a file and Download encrypted. This allows you to save a file locally in an encrypted format. Normally, the client would decrypt after it downloaded. Here's a picture:

We look forward to hearing your thoughts. Leave us a comment about the beta, what you like, dislike, etc, or email us directly at support@compeletlyprivatefiles.com.
