How to encrypt files on Baidu Cloud
In today's digital age, data security has become increasingly important. Baidu Cloud is a mainstream cloud storage service in China, and users often need to store important files in it. In order to protect privacy and prevent data leakage, encrypting files is an essential operation. This article will introduce in detail how Baidu Cloud encrypts files, and attaches hot topics and hot content in the past 10 days to help you better understand the current focus of the Internet.
1. Baidu Cloud file encryption method

1.Use Baidu Cloud’s own password protection functionBaidu Cloud supports setting a password for shared links. The steps are as follows: - Log in to your Baidu Cloud account and select the file you want to share. - Click the "Share" button to generate a sharing link. - Check "Have extraction code" in the sharing settings and set a password. - Send the link and password separately to the recipient to ensure file security.
2.Encrypted via compressed packageIf Baidu Cloud files do not support direct encryption, you can compress the file first and set a password: - Use tools such as WinRAR or 7-Zip to package the file into a compressed package. - Select "Add Password" when compressing and enter a strong password (letters, numbers and symbols are recommended). - Upload the encrypted compressed package to Baidu Cloud. Even if it is downloaded by others, it cannot be opened directly.
3.Third-party encryption toolsFor extremely sensitive files, you can first encrypt them with third-party encryption software (such as VeraCrypt) and then upload them to Baidu Cloud. This method is safer, but the operation is slightly more complicated.
| Encryption method | Operation difficulty | security | Applicable scenarios |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baidu cloud sharing password | simple | medium | Daily file sharing |
| Compressed package encryption | medium | higher | Important file storage |
| Third-party encryption tools | complicated | extremely high | Trade secrets or sensitive data |
