Freeze has no encryption or compression features built-in, so you are responsible to prepare the data as you want it to be stored on Glacier before you upload it.
I don't like built-in encryption features in file transfer or backup apps too much, because they are often proprietary and that may make it hard to switch to another client.
As a workflow example, I personally encrypt my archives with gnupg and store them on external hard drives and additionally upload them to Glacier for disaster recovery.
- binaryanomaly 11y agoI agree, proprietary implementations are exactly the problem and why I don't use arq, etc. On the other hand I find manual local encryption a bit cumbersome workflow wise...
- cwisecarver 11y agoAnother possible thought for the roadmap would be some sort of pluggable architecture for encryption. Let third-parties develop open encryption plugins that this runs inside prior to uploading.
- binaryanomaly 11y agoIndeed, something like the pgp plugin for Apple Mail would be nice.
