SpiderOak 5.0.1

SpiderOak Inc. - (Freeware)

The best protection of sensitive information is encryption of data online and SpiderOak can be very useful in this matter.

SpiderOak is a software product that offers users to store on a remote server their sensitive data. The application allows to synchronize on any computer, regardless of operating system. SpiderOak offers a different approach to traditional online backup solution by combining a suite of services, including online backup, synchronization, sharing and remote access in a single tool. SpiderOak has a flexibility to manage any type of data on any operating system from any storage device through a single account.

The creation of an account is required to use online backup, 2GB of storage being offered.

SpiderOak uses a strong encryption algorithm for secure file sharing. The software keeps a copy so that, if necessary, the user can restore deleted files later.

# New Features:
* SpiderOak Hive: We adopted a simple approach to syncing data across all devices by creating the SpiderOak Hive folder. Simply drag and drop files or folders into this folder and they will automatically sync to your other devices.
* OS Integration for Windows (Mac and Linux soon to follow): Granting right-click access functions via Explorer now allows you to backup, share, and view historical versions.
# Enhancements:
* ShareRoom Enhancement: Users can now add passwords to their ShareRooms which adds an additional layer of security when sharing important files.
* Remote Diagnostics: We added a capability for remote diagnostics to help when troubleshooting problems with customer support. This option is disabled by default. You must explicitly enabled it. Diagnostic reports consist of metadata such as program and OS version information, file system types, program log files, folder and file names. Reports do not include backup data, passwords, or encryption information.
* Password Enhancement: As a new user, you must now change your password upon setting up your first device when JavaScript was disabled during signup and a temporary password was automatically generated.
* ShareRoom Enhancement: We added clarification to the ShareRoom creation wizard
# Fixes:
* LAN sync: Fixed a bug with LAN sync, allowing the client to recover from certain error conditions
* UI / View Tab: Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the UI to erroneously disable the View tab in the client after displaying the "out of space" popup window.
* AppIndicator framework: Switch system tray icon to use AppIndicator framework on Ubuntu.
* Backup: Fixed a bug which prevents category size indicator on basic backup tab from updating without restarting the client
* Downloads: Fixed a bug that prevented downloads from resuming after a network failure.
* Uninstalling SpiderOak: Fixed a bug on Windows which reports publisher info as 'unknown' when uninstalling SpiderOak
* Sync: Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented sync from detecting a moved folder properly, instead considering it a deletion
* Backup: Fixed a bug causing backup to fail under a very rare edge case
