You are the one who is responsible for your own data. Hop on the no-snoopers-allowed train where end-to-end encryption is performed on-the-fly by a web browser.
Download the latest E2EE plugin and follow the installation steps, described in E2EE Installation.
Yes, you need an annual license. For prices, check our epiKshop.
Typically, this happens if you haven’t specified the correct URL(s) for your license keys. Make sure to provide the exact URL(s) the system will be visible from (i.e., https://example.com/owncloud) to epiKsupport. If you plan to use different URLs for the same installation, you need to provide all of them.
The epiKryption end-to-end encryption is user-controlled and performed on-the-fly by a web browser. Data is encrypted at its source and safeguarded by “key pairs” (a private key is stored on the recipient’s end, while a public key is stored on the epiKcloud server). Only the recipient who has the “key” can access and read the shared data. It is the safest and easiest way to send encrypted files between two or more people. Not even an administrator, backup service or other third parties who might have access to the infrastructure can read the data you send. For details, see epiKryption.
The encryption happens exactly where it should: on the sender’s and recipient’s computer. Any other security layer in between (SSL, epiKcloud Server encryption, firewalls) becomes secondary.
This depends on your hardware. For small files (< 20 MB) it is barely noticeable on modern systems or even mobile devices. It takes longer with larger files, which can be observed before uploading and after downloading the files.
This depends on your configuration–your browser, operating system and available memory (RAM). Since the encryption/decryption takes place in your browser, the file needs to fit within the available memory. Typically, it should not be a problem sharing files > 2 GB. However, with bigger files the encryption/decryption process might require you to wait until the process finishes before uploading and after downloading the files.
This error message appears in E2EE Share v. < 1.2.5, when checking the Share Encrypted checkbox. First you have to check your configuration. Then re-import the license and click Apply E2EE Groups. Log out and log in again. It should work now.

epiKcloud is a file sharing server that can store all your data (photos, books, music, emails, etc.) in the cloud. This means that only you have access to it and control over it; without third parties or governments involved. However, you alone are responsible for your data and should take all the measures available to prevent a data breach.
By selecting epiKhosting as your provider, you can relax as we guarantee properly implemented data protection while you are still in control of your data. Keep in mind that no other country stands for data protection more strongly than Germany, where the majority of our data centers are located and our backup software is developed.
The epiKryption (E2EE) plugin must be installed on the epiKcloud Server and then you can use the encryption. You can share the data safely and easily with the epiKshare Outlook add-in or with the epiKcloud WebUI. No additional software is needed; you can handle all features simply in your web browser.
The data is encrypted before it leaves your workstation and decrypted on the recipient’s workstation. The recipient receives an email with the link to encrypted data and can simply download it by using their web browser. For details, see Encrypted Sharing of Files.
