SearchYourCloud delivers secure and fast search across various clouds and is now free for individual users. The application runs on multiple platforms including iOS, Android, Box, Dropbox and Google Drive.  SYC's patented Improved Search Engine delivers full-text search by leveraging Boolean and semantic search technologies.  SearchYourCloud provides more accurate search results than native search engines results by retrieving outcomes based on overall relevance to the query and keywords. 

To achieve unprecedented cloud security, data is synchronized to the cloud provider where it is fully encrypted to AES 256 and can be securely accessed from a mobile device. SearchYourCloud prevents unauthorized access and does not create a direct network connection between a mobile device and the host computer or network.
