Abstract: In today's digital world, when sensitive data is routinely targeted by thieves, strong encryption technologies are critical for preventing breaches and ransomware attacks. Our research solves this need by creating a Secure Folder Encryption System that employs AES-GCM (Advanced Encryption Standard - Galois/Counter Mode) and HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) to secure data confidentiality and integrity when stored on cloud servers. Drawing on research on ECG image file encryption using ECDH and AES-GCM, we choose AES-GCM for its high resistance to manipulation and unauthorized access, while ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) improves data authenticity. This method encrypts files before uploading them to the cloud, data is secure even if intercepted. In addition to a user friendly interface, the system is tuned for performance, evaluating encryption and decryption times and file sizes. Given the concerning trend of stolen encrypted data being sold on the dark web, as reported in recent headlines, our project offers a secure and effective method for safeguarding critical information in cloud storage
