The thing is that there's nothing actually special about SpiderOak as a service. Since the data is encrypted end to end, the only special thing is the client and as you've pointed out, there's is terrible.
On that note, once I gave up on SpiderOak I went looking for alternatives and they actually exist:
- Syncany: https://www.syncany.org/ https://www.syncany.org/ - Java based, works on Windows and *NIX, uses S3, Dropbox, Flickr, FTP, Openstack Swift, SFTP and WebDAV as backends.
- Rclone: http://rclone.org http://rclone.org - Go based, works on everything Go supports, uses Google Drive, S3, Swift, Dropbox, Google Cloud Storage, Amazon Drive, OneDrive, hubiC, Backblaze B2 and Yandex.Disk.
Syncany at least supports limited file versioning but not as granular as you seem to be after. The upside is that unlike SpiderOak, Syncany is open source and you can contribute features you want. If you're only after backup, there's also Borg which might work for you: https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/.
- elementalest 10y agoI looked at Syncany, but it looks like the project is dead: > The core team of Syncany is on hiatus for an indefinite amount of time. Feel free to do with the code what the license allows and encourages, but please don't expect any maintenance. The team thanks everyone who has contributed to Syncany in one way or another. rclone doesn't really have the features i'm looking for. I have however found Duplicati: http://www.duplicati.com http://www.duplicati.com, which looks like it might serve my needs.
