Fogpad: Document Editor with Encryption for Google Drive

Everybody uses cloud storage now. Some of the big name is Dropbox, Google Drive, SkyDrive and many other nameable drives out there. Each cloud storage has its own capabilities, storage space and multiple add-ons that is used to enhance its capabilities. One such add on is done for Google Drive where there is a tool that can be used to create and encrypt your documents on the fly. Cool enough eh. Let’s see how it works.
So this FogPad (Only God knows what it means) is a tool used to create and edit documents (similar to Microsoft Office) and saves it automatically in your Google Drive storage. The good thing about this is, whenever you are creating a document (for Free account, you can create up to 10 documents) it will prompt you to password protect your documents (each and every one of them) and it will encrypt it with so called Military grade encryption which is 256 bits AES algorithm. Which is cool. You don’t have to install or use any other third party app in your machine before you can upload a password encrypted military grade encryption algorithm to your storage.
