Roll your own secure sync with SecretSync and TntDrive

TntDrive plus SecretsyncSecretSync was designed to be simple and work between two locations, usually folders, on your hard drive. In this way, it is able to be used with your choice of synchronization service, whether Dropbox, Ubuntu One, or SugarSync.

Now, there's another alternative. You can be your own cloud provider, by using SecretSync with TntDrive.

TntDrive is a cool utility that maps a Windows drive letter to a bucket in Amazon S3. (Just FYI, S3 is the service Dropbox uses to actually store your data online.) Then, anything you put in the mapped drive is uploaded to S3.

To add strong client-side encryption and synchronization, add SecretSync to the mix. Point your destination (or tunnel folder) folder to the mapped drive, and you have DIY encrypted synchronization.

There are more details about this on our forum at this link:
