Question: Does Safeboxbd require specific hardware configurations?

Safeboxbd has low hardware requirements and is compatible with most old computers. The minimum requirements are typically a single-core processor and at least 1GB of RAM, though higher RAM configurations are recommended for a smoother experience. Additionally, the larger the storage space, the more data it can store, so you can choose hard drives or add external storage devices according to actual needs.

Question: On which operating systems can Safeboxbd be installed?

1. Windows
Supported versions include Windows 10 and Windows 11. Simply download the appropriate installation package for Windows and follow the setup instructions.

2. macOS
Safeboxbd supports macOS, specifically versions macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and above. Users can download the compatible macOS installation package from the Safeboxbd website, and once installed, it can be used as a NAS.

3. Linux
Safeboxbd supports Ubuntu 20.xx and higher desktop editions and is compatible with most Debian-based Linux distributions. Linux users can download and run the appropriate installation package to set up their computer as a NAS.

This cross-platform support allows Safeboxbd to run on major operating systems, enabling users to configure their NAS on a range of devices.

Question: On which devices can data stored on Safeboxbd be accessed?

Safeboxbd clients are available for multiple devices. Users can download clients on Android and iOS mobile devices, Windows, macOS, and Linux computers, allowing access to and management of files stored in Safeboxbd from any device at home.

Question: Does Safeboxbd offer file encryption, and what encryption algorithm does it use?

Safeboxbd offers file encryption to ensure data security during storage. Safeboxbd uses a \"one file, one key\" encryption model, meaning each file is encrypted with a unique key. This approach increases data security, as even if one file’s key is compromised, it doesn’t affect the security of other files. The encryption algorithm is AES-256, a robust industry-standard encryption with a 256-bit key length that effectively resists brute-force attacks. Each file is encrypted individually, safeguarding user data during storage and transmission.

Question: Does accessing data on Safeboxbd require an internet connection?

When used on a local area network, Safeboxbd does not require an internet connection for data access; any device on the same network can directly access files in Safeboxbd. For remote access to data from an external network (e.g., while on a business trip or outside the home), an internet connection is required. Safeboxbd’s client will automatically detect the network environment and choose the best access method, so no configuration is needed.

Question: How does Safeboxbd ensure secure data transmission over the internet?

Safeboxbd employs dual-layer encryption to ensure secure file transmission over the internet. First, it uses an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypted tunnel to protect data in transit. SSL encryption establishes a secure connection between the client and server, effectively preventing man-in-the-middle attacks and data eavesdropping. During transmission, all data is encrypted within the SSL tunnel, preventing interception or alteration at the network layer.

Additionally, each file itself is encrypted. Safeboxbd applies the AES-256 encryption algorithm to each file, generating a unique key for each file before storage and transmission, creating a “one file, one key” encryption model. This means that even if a file is intercepted during transmission, it cannot be read without the decryption key. The dual encryption ensures data security during internet transmission, allowing users to share and access data safely on any network.

Question: Does Safeboxbd support multi-user access?

Safeboxbd supports a multi-user feature, allowing the creation of independent storage spaces for each user, with full isolation between users to ensure privacy. Additionally, Safeboxbd provides a shared public space where administrators can set flexible access permissions, ensuring each user can only access files within their permission range. This setup is ideal not only for family file sharing but also for file sharing and collaboration in small teams, allowing for flexible and secure file management.

Question: Who is Safeboxbd best suited for?

Safeboxbd primarily caters to individuals and families who value data privacy and security. It is especially suitable for those who prefer not to rely on public cloud storage but still want convenient data access. Examples include:

Family users: Store family photos, videos, important documents, etc., while preventing external leaks.
Small teams: Enable data sharing within a small group without relying on external servers or cloud services.
Privacy-conscious individuals: Avoid uploading sensitive information to public clouds, meeting privacy protection needs.
