I'm sure you'll get customers, but I just don't understand people that go for things like this.
So I'm afraid of Apple scanning, and uploading unencrypted files I create on a closed-source (unable to verify anything) OS to a closed-source service I subscribe to. And my solution is to subscribe to a secondary closed-source service to mask my photos from the first service.
I'm sure people will rationalize this behavior, but it's just insanity to me.
- fooqux 5y agoNot everyone who wants to store / backup their media has the experience, time, or ambition to host their own stack. For these people some other service with a better TOS and privacy policy might be the best option they have. Even those that do have the experience might consider it not worth their time. I liken it to Email. I have the experience to host my own email stack. But I've determined it's not worth the time investment when I can pay someone a few bucks a month to handle it.
- howeyc 5y agoYes, and for people like that, Apple has you covered with iCloud.
- marcellus23 5y agoYou're viewing this app from within the HN bubble. People who use this aren't concerned about Apple's CSAM scanning (no one even knows what that is), but are probably more concerned with not having risky/risqué photos in the Photos app or on iCloud.
