Why Cloud Storage Alone Is Not Enough
Cloud storage services such as Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, and other enterprise file-sharing platforms have become essential tools for modern businesses. They make collaboration easy, improve productivity, and allow teams to access files from anywhere. However, one critical misconception persists: cloud storage does not automatically mean file security.
Files uploaded to a cloud storage service are at risk when they are not encrypted beforehand. While cloud providers may protect infrastructure and offer basic access controls, they typically do not protect the contents of your files from internal access, breaches, or unauthorized exposure. If sensitive business documents are stored in plain form, they remain vulnerable.
This is why organizations that truly care about data protection choose TeraKey encrypted files before uploading anything to the cloud.
The Real Challenge: Sharing Encrypted Files
Many companies attempt to address cloud security issues by using third-party file encryption tools. Unfortunately, a major complication quickly appears when multiple people need to share the same encrypted document.
In real business operations, sharing encrypted files is critical. Teams collaborate on contracts, financial data, legal documents, engineering drawings, and intellectual property every day. With many competing encryption solutions, file sharing becomes complex, slow, or impractical:
Encryption keys must be manually exchanged
Files must be decrypted and re-encrypted repeatedly
Access control is difficult to manage at scale
These challenges often lead organizations to abandon encryption altogether—placing sensitive data at risk.
TeraKey was designed specifically to eliminate this problem by extending TeraKey Enterprise encryption to cloud files.
Why File-Sharing Platforms Do Not Protect Sensitive Files?
Many businesses assume that using popular file-sharing platforms automatically secures their documents. Services like Microsoft 365 OneDrive and Google Drive for Business encourage users to upload files directly to their cloud environments.
While these platforms are excellent for sharing non-sensitive files, they are not designed to protect confidential business information at the file-content level. Once uploaded:
Cloud administrators may access the data.
Compromised accounts expose all stored files.
Breaches can reveal unencrypted documents.
.
In other words, your sensitive information is at high risk if it is not encrypted before upload.
Protect Sensitive Files in a Cloud Storage Service
The only effective way to protect sensitive files in a cloud service is simple and proven:
Encrypt files before uploading them to the cloud.
This is exactly how TeraKey encrypted files work.
With TeraKey:
Files are encrypted first, on your computer.
Encrypted files are then uploaded to cloud storage.
The cloud only stores unreadable, encrypted data.
Cloud personnel, attackers, or unauthorized users cannot decrypt or read your files because they lack permission to open them. Only authorized TeraKey users can decrypt documents, even when those documents are stored in shared cloud folders.
Seamless Sharing with TeraKey Encrypted Files
With the TeraKey file encryption system, sharing encrypted files becomes effortless and secure.
Authorized TeraKey users can open encrypted files on their own computers.
No manual key exchange is required.
Access rights are centrally managed.
Whether you are sharing a single document or an entire directory structure, only approved users can decrypt the content using the TeraKey application.
Now you can confidently store and share:
Large folders.
Multiple subfolders.
Thousands of encrypted files.
across cloud services such as Google Drive, OneDrive, and private servers—without worrying about data exposure. Anyone without authorization sees only encrypted data.
No Key Management Headaches
One of the biggest barriers to enterprise encryption is key management. Many solutions require users to manage encryption keys for every document, which is both risky and inefficient.
With TeraKey, you do not need to manage encryption keys manually.
TeraKey automatically handles all technical operations required to protect your files using:
Proven cryptographic principles were invented over a century ago.
A modern, patented encryption process perfected by TeraCryption.

Files in a cloud storage service are at risk when they are not encrypted beforehand.
When using a competitor’s file encryption solution, a complication arises when a group of people needs to share the same encrypted document. Sharing encrypted files is critical during business operations.
Many companies think that using file-sharing platforms solves the problem of protecting sensitive documents. Microsoft 365 OneDrive and Google Drive for businesses are examples of file-sharing services that encourage users to upload files to their services. Those services are famous for sharing non-sensitive files between users, but do not protect the contents of those files. The sensitive business information is at high risk.
Protect sensitive files in a cloud storage service
The only way to protect sensitive files in a cloud service is to encrypt them before uploading.
TeraKey first encrypts files and then uploads them to the cloud.
Cloud personnel or other users accessing the cloud storage cannot decrypt or read your files because they lack permission to open them. Authorized TeraKey® users are the only ones who can decrypt documents stored in the cloud.
With the TeraKey document encryption system, sharing encrypted files becomes a breeze. Only other authorized TeraKey users can decrypt a file on their computer running the TeraKey app.
Now, without any worries, you can easily store many folders with subfolders and files in servers and cloud services, such as Google Drive and OneDrive. No one can open the documents.
By the way, you do not need to worry about managing encryption keys for each document. Let TeraCryption take care of all automated technical operations to protect documents with unbreakable encryption invented over a century ago and using a process perfected by TeraCryption’s modern patented technology.
