Is the connection between the app and Storage Studio's server encrypted?
Short answer: Yes. Every connection to Storage Studio's server is encrypted, so licence checks, update checks and anonymous totals can't be read in transit. Your files aren't part of those connections at all.
Yes. Every connection the app makes to Storage Studio's own server uses an encrypted, secure connection, so licence checks, update checks and the anonymous totals can't be read in transit.
Your files aren't part of those connections at all. When you move files to a cloud account you connected, they travel to that service over its own secure connection; when you send files with Bridge, the link between your two devices is end-to-end encrypted.
We don't publish the details of how each connection is secured, but the outcome for you is simple: what's sent can't be read on the way.
