Inspiration

We wanted a secure, local alternative to cloud-based shared drives. Inspired by data privacy concerns, we created CryLo Drive to allow users to share and store files privately within their own network.

What it does

CryLo Drive enables secure local file sharing without relying on third-party servers or the internet. It ensures data privacy with strong encryption, giving users full control over their files.

How we built it

We developed a lightweight app focused on local file access. Security was key, so we designed encryption that ensures no stored local data can lead to decryption, keeping files protected.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge was securing encryption keys locally without making decryption possible through stored data. Although local is secure, we also had to ensure that what we are storing does not lead to decryption.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

-A secure local file-sharing solution.

-Strong encryption without relying on external servers or the internet.

-A system where stored data cannot be used for decryption.

What we learned

It is too hard to, make what you are storing not lead to decryption, especially when all you have is the local drives.

What's next for CryLo Drive

-Multi Directory structure. -Read Write Access to other users, while staying secure. -Better UI

Summary

At first, we had no inspiration, but then we saw the tracks about data and privacy. and about personal privacy protection. Then I thought about how we have hard drives at home shared by users online, so we wanted to give users and families a way to have shared drives LOCALLY, we haven't seen anything like it done anywhere, so we wanted to create an app that shares files through shared local drives, now users can Locally share and store their data, even more, securely and privately. So then we had the idea of sharing files across multiple users locally. After hours of discussion and no solution, we had many challenges, since the app is barebone and used to access the drive. All the data used for encryption needed to be stored locally without giving away user info and decryption information, making it as secure as possible, what started as a family local drive, a light app, has now been turned into a military-grade computational base secure program, as we dawned upon a solution.
