Abstract: A virtual storage system in data communication with a user computing device via a communication network and file encryption methods for encrypting electronic documents to be uploaded into a virtual storage system where the virtual storage system includes at least one processor which captures a data stream corresponding to an electronic document retrieved from an external system, to be uploaded to the virtual storage system, and creates at least one encryption parameter and encrypts the data stream captured using the at least one encryption parameter created. The virtual storage system further includes a plurality of redundant physical storage devices in data communication with the at least one processor and each configured to store the encrypted data stream corresponding to the electronic document.

Abstract: A virtual storage system and file conversion method where at least one processor is configured to retrieve data of a first format corresponding to specific electronic data transmitted from an external system and stored within the virtual storage system, converting the data into a second format, retrieve a first style sheet to be associated with the data, convert the data using the first style sheet, retrieve a second style sheet for the data, and display the data at the user computing device using the second style sheet. The virtual storage system includes a plurality of redundant physical storage devices in data communication with the at least one processor and each configured to store the data retrieved from the external system, the first style sheet and the second style sheet, and the data to be displayed at the user computing device.
