Nuremberg/Hamburg, October 8, 2019 – “Store photos, videos, music and files securely in the MagentaCloud – always and everywhere access via web, smartphone and TV” – this is Deutsche Telekom’s slogan for its cloud service. But with two out of three rate variants, security is inadequate in that end-to-end encryption does not take place, as Deutsche Telekom reports at https://cloud.telekom-dienste.de/speicher-erweiterung . Just in time for the it-sa IT security trade fair in Nuremberg, Hamburg-based TeamDrive GmbH is offering a service with which MagentaCloud data can be transmitted from end to end using 256-bit encryption, regardless of the tariff. The TeamDrive service is available free of charge for private use at www.teamdrive.com. “With TeamDrive, the MagentaCloud becomes a high-security cloud in every tariff,” explains TeamDrive Managing Director Detlef Schmuck.

TeamDrive automatically synchronizes local files such as Word, Excel or PowerPoint, photos, videos and music via the MagentaCloud between all end devices, whether Smartphone, Tablet/iPad or PC/Mac. Thanks to end-to-end encryption, no one can view the data, not even Deutsche Telekom or TeamDrive, no service provider and no system administrator. “The key is actually known only to the user himself, not even to us,” assures TeamDrive boss Detlef Schmuck. How secure the service is can be seen from the fact that it is even recommended by the German Bar Association to its approximately 66,000 members for documents that meet the special requirements of Section 203 of the German Criminal Code (“Violation of Private Secrets”). TeamDrive boss Detlef Schmuck is convinced that “not even the secret services can obtain readable data from our users”. Even if the MagentaCloud account is attacked by hackers, the data is unusable for the criminals because they cannot crack the 256-bit encryption.

Another highlight is that you can share your data with any number of users from your family, circle of friends, club or project without having to entrust them with the access data and passwords for the MagentaCloud. The participants in the data pool do not even have to be Telekom customers themselves.
