Do you want your computer along with software and files to always be with you and reliably protected even in case of loss? Automatic backups online using strong encryption? You do not need to carry a laptop with you; one flash drive is enough.
The
CloudUSB system is a USB flash drive with the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS operating system and all user settings, the Dropbox folder for files plus a program for automatic backup with double password protection.
The data is encrypted by the
EncFS module, so that it is stored in encrypted form on both the flash drive and Dropbox.
