Abstract

Methods and apparatus to securely share data are disclosed. An example includes generating, at a first device of a first user of cloud services, an archive file representative of a drive of the first device; encrypting, via a processor, the archive file to form an encrypted archive file; and conveying the encrypted archive file to a cloud service provider, the encrypted archive file to be decrypted by a second device of a second user of the cloud services, the decrypted archive file to be mounted to an operating system of the second device.
