Abstract
Secure remote storage of electronic media. A virtual safe application resides on a server and provides for encrypted storage, display, and access to critical electronic media. The virtual safe communicates with trusted entities, which can automatically populate the virtual safe with pre-selected types of files into pre-selected locations. A user can access the virtual safe over a network to customize the display, manage files, upload files, and/or share files. Sharing a file grants selected access rights to a selected file by another authorized user. The shared file is displayed on the interface associated with the other authorized user, allowing the other user to view the file and to perform functionality consistent with the access rights. The sharing capability facilitates communication for use in streamlining business and/or personal matters. The virtual safe thus provides access to documents anytime, anywhere, while ensuring security, facilitating communication, and eliminating manual steps.
