Shadow Drive is based on Nextcloud 25. For more information on this new version, you can have a look at the Nextcloud website.

The Shadow Drive web version allows you to access your files through the browser of your choice.

Applications and desktop clients allow you to synchronize your files seamlessly with all your devices and access your files without a browser.

To keep it simple, data is encrypted from your device to the final storage.

Shadow Drive uses full encryption via TLS (Transport Layer Security).

It is encrypted:

• In transit:

  Between your device and the Shadow Drive infrastructure

  Amongst elements of infrastructure (between web servers, database servers, and storage infrastructure).

• At rest:

  Shadow Drive Teams are currently working on encryption at rest to strengthen the overall security of our solution.

  In the meantime, if security is a big concern for your data, we suggest making client-side encryption before storing it on our Cloud Solution.

  You can for example have a look at the Boxcryptor solution (please note that we do not officially support this solution).

Absolutely!

There are some differences with the 64 bits version:

• It is a little slower in processing the sync.

• There are no thumbnails in the sync folder.

• There is no share menu.

Shadow Drive and Shadow are two different products, there is no dependency on the technical architecture.

It is not possible to connect to Shadow Drive using ownCloud. While Nextcloud and ownCloud are made of the same core, their respective code is now very different.

Yes, Shadow Drive can be synchronized with local clients on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android to always keep local and remote files in perfect synchronization.

There is no limit on the number of devices you can synchronize at the same time.

It is not possible to schedule a synchronization, as your files are already being regularly synchronized.

However, you can exclude a file from being synchronized.

As for now, it is possible to view, edit and share .txt. or .md files directly on Shadow Drive.
