Mo' money, mo' key length.
*What’s the difference between the free version and the premium version?*
*The free version provides 256-bit AES encryption and 2GB of free encrypted
storage and allows sharing of files of up to 50MB. The premium version
provides up to 1048-bit AES encryption and 50GB of encrypted storage and
allows sharing of files of up to 40GB. Also, the key in the free version is
pre-generated and stored on our servers, while with the premium version the
user has the option to generate his own key and store it locally for even
greater security. Keep in mind there is no “password recovery”, so you
definitely won’t want to forget your passphrase!*
