Anybody know of any other privacy-oriented Dropbox/Drive alternatives?
- dmix 7y agoI've been using Syncthing for years: https://syncthing.net/ https://syncthing.net/ It's entirely P2P, so no 3rd party hosting of your files, no trusting someone's crypto/update schemes, or having to set up your own servers (although you still can easily add it to a VPS if you want offsite). There's also a nice mobile app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nutomic.syncthingandroid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nutomic.sy... You can also securely share directories with another person who uses Syncthing, I've found autosync directories are easier than using something like Airdrop for sharing photos with family.
- ska 7y agoI don't know much about them, but Sync https://www.sync.com https://www.sync.com seems to be in this space. Has a 5GB free tier, higher tiers cheaper than dropbox. Based in Canada if that matters.
- Doubl 7y agoI'm using them for years as a form of backup. Very reasonable priced, works flawlessly for me though I mainly use as a form of backup for a synced folder. GDPR compliant.
- wisty 7y agoI've seen a HN poster promote filestash.app which looks like it's either self-host or hosted. I guess you might have to add in something like Spideroak, Backblaze, or tarsnap if you want to self host + backup. Or Syncthing as others have pointed out. I'm still thinking which is best.
