"Private cloud" in the meaning that only you, the devices you allow or the people you share a file with have access to the data. It means that you have full ownership (you own the storage where your cloud is stored) over your data. Duple (the company) can't access anything from your cloud.
The repository is reachable from internet if you want to (access from anywhere feature), but it's not obligatory (you can decide to have it only on your local network, or only on one computer).
The traffic is always direct, it never goes through our side (no servers or relay).
- jaclaz 6y agoSo, if I make a "local" cloud (i.e. accessible from local network only) it continues working even with no internet connection (i.e. it is essentially a NAS replacement)? Then, if I want to access it also from remote (access from anywhere) what is "exposed" to the outside world? (I mean open ports, NAT settings, etc.). And which kind of login/credentials are used/needed for access?
- betaman0 6y agoYes, it will continue to work without internet. NAS and clouds are different things, a NAS is just a USB drive over the network, a cloud gives you more functionalities (versioning, backup, sync, collaborative folder, etc...). What is exposed to the outside world (port forwarding) depends on your configuration. If you use SFTP, you will need to forward 22 towards your "local" cloud. If you store your cloud on the router, it will more likely be FTPS, and there will be no need for port forwarding. You will need login/password/ip of the storage, and in the future when we implement E2EE, the password of your cloud.
