theLocBox Provides a Critical Layer of Added Security to Dropbox

theLocBox, a new utility created for Dropbox users, has been built to provide an additional layer of military grade encryption to files stored in the cloud technology.

Penticton, British Columbia, August 26, 2011 - Doug Oucharek and Stephen Joyce have teamed up to provide users of the Dropbox cloud storage facility with a critical layer of user-enabled protection for sensitive files and documents. Under a barrage of scrutiny due to recent hacks and comprised security, Dropbox has been referred to as, “a haven for data thieves”. theLocBox is designed to protect Dropbox users against data thieves by putting security in the hands of the user. Each user creates a ‘key’ that they hold, ‘locking’ the data before it’s placed into the Dropbox facility. Even if the security at Dropbox is compromised, hackers will be unable to access files protected by theLocBox.

Says Oucharek, “There’s no question that Dropbox provides an essential function, but users need to have confidence in their cloud storage. theLocBox can provide them with the extra level of comfort that their data is protected.”

Adds Joyce, “There is no such thing as a traditional workplace anymore. Brick and mortar still has its place but more and more companies are turning to the virtual workspace and online collaboration. It’s critical that companies can rely on the security of their virtual office. There is a definite place for theLocBox technology in today’s workplace.”
