Although we take special care designing and implementing the security-related parts of Syncany, we are not cryptographers. We have have asked multiple parties to peer review our concept and implementation, and we hereby do that again: **Please review our security concepts and implementation!** If you believe that any of the concepts and/or the implementation is incorrect, insecure or can be attacked, please let us know `by creating a new issue <https://github.com/syncany/syncany/issues>`_ or `by contacting us directly for major issues <mailto:team@syncany.org>`_.

Pim sets up a Syncany shared folder with Philipp, using the shared Windows folder on his server as a backend storage. He uses the ``sy init`` command to do that, types in ``samba`` to use the Windows share plugin, and chooses a strong password to encrypt the data with. After the one-minute setup, he gets a ``syncany://``-link from Syncany. This link contains all the information required to access the storage. Philipp can now use this and the password to access the Syncany folder (using the ``sy connect`` command). Since the everything that lands in the *cloud* is encrypted with a key derived from the password, Pim and Philipp don't have to worry about a nosy storage provider or other interested parties.

The process between Philipp and Steffen is exactly the same, only that now Philipp initializes the repository on his own remote storage, and that the SFTP plugin is used.
