4shared Security

4Shared outlines their security as being a very important focus of their cloud storage service. All files are automatically and regularly scanned for any possible viruses and malware, keeping you safe with up to date definitions at all times. Not much is explained regarding encryption, other than utilizing 128-bit encryption for confidential data such as usernames and passwords. As mentioned, folders can also be password protected for private access, and you can choose to exclude your public folders from being indexed on Google or other search engines. Files can also be made completely private and accessible only to the publisher.

Customer data is protected behind multiple firewalls effectively cutting access from the internet. Access to server databases is limited to security personnel, while their data centers follow the highest security codes and surveillance systems. Databases are backed up on a regular bases and premium members will have all data backed up for the duration of their account, as well as up to one year after closing it, allowing them to request for data recovery anytime shortly after cancelling service.
