Ask HN: What secure personal file hosting solution do you use?
Been in need of a solution, but I don't want to go through the trouble of setting up my own servers. Also don't want to trust my information with Dropbox or Google. I've tried Keybase, but it's still buggy, and I've been thinking of trying SpiderOak. Any thoughts?

- Zezima 8y agoKeybase (KBFS)
- auslegung 8y agoKeybase. I think if you password protect a file before uploading it to Dropbox or GDrive then it’s reasonably safe, is that true?
- craftyguy 8y ago> password protect a file Completely depends on what encryption is being used... There are still applications/developers out there that think rolling their own (keybase) is a good idea (it's not).
- m52go 8y agoDropbox, but first encrypted with Cryptomator.
- craftyguy 8y agoSyncthing, with regular encrypted backups via duplicity to S3 storage.
- quickthrower2 8y agoExternal HDD in a fireproof safe.
- orcs 8y agoJust out of interest because I've never thought of this before. Would this protect the content from the heat of a good going fire?
- toomuchtodo 8y agoDepends on the fire safe rating (which is classified by temperature and time).
- dangerface 8y agoThey are supposed to and apparently work well, they do nothing to stop a thief so the fire safety is all they are good for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2guvwQvElA8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2guvwQvElA8

- mikebos 8y agoIt depends :-) Want to get to your files without being reliant on a toolchain? Go with a standard provider, I'm not sure what your objection is to google or dropbox, but there are a lot of fish in that sea like tresorit to cater to niche markets. If it's a security thing always question if the photos of your kitten are really that critical compared to the chosen solution. And as always if a government agency is your concern you're doing it wrong..... If the toolchain doesn't bother you use cryptomator or something like that and just pick some storage where ever.
