Encrypted filenames coming for SecretSync

It's Monday, and we just wanted to make a quick post to give everyone an update.

First, we want you to know that the iPhone app is done and being submitted to the Apple App Store. Look for that soon, and of course as soon as we get approval, you'll hear about it here immediately.

We also wanted to let you know that SecretSync will soon have encrypted file names. This has been a fairly prominent user request, and it's our goal to get the features out that the most people need. This is currently under active development, and should be part of our product soon. Here's a screenshot:

SecretSync for iPhone update

Just a quick update about our iPhone app. If you remember, we mentioned at the end of last year that SecretSync for iPhone was coming early 2012.

We've just completed testing and Q&A, and SecretSync for iPhone will be submitted to the App Store shortly. The app will allow you to log in to your Dropbox account, access your encrypted files in SecretSync, then download and decrypt them on your iPhone for viewing.

Here's a screenshot:

And for those of you who've asked, we will be working on an iPad version next.

Get free space by referring SecretSync

Hi, the new year has been busy these first 10 days. Exciting and busy. Our iPhone app is in beta testing and nearing release, we're getting ramped up to implement some new features like file name encryption, and we're rolling out a new referral system for SecretSync.

The referral system is in beta. Here's how it works. If you have an account for SecretSync, you can use this form to generate a referral link to post on your site, blog, Facebook page, or whatever. You can optionally send the referral link directly to friends over email. Any time someone signs-up using your referral link, you get 250 MB added to your sync space, and they do as well. You can get started today^*! Use the link below:

Refer a friend, get more space!

*Remember this is in beta. If you have any issues, please drop us a line.
