Guys, I have some spare time. Any interest in a cross-platform app that acts as a kind of "raid-1" (mirror) across two or more of these popular services (e.g. DropBox), any one of which you more or less "trust", but, on the theory that the Government can take them away? (or if you don't consier that likely, then just on the theory of "don't put all your eggs in one basket")
The idea is that each service would think you're "just" using them; meanwhile, you're really hedging your bets. Should ANY ONE of these disappear, in spite of general internet connectivity on your part, software panics and downloads ALL your data to your local hard-drive instead (on the theory that perhaps the government is about to make ALL of them inaccessible to you), sends you an email and SMS?
Another feature would be local encyrption. Let me know if there's interest in this. Basically, this is like a raid-1 layer on top of two or more disjoint services such as DropBox, optionally with local encryption.
- rb2k_ 15y agoAt least the uploading to multiple services is covered over here: http://www.multiupload.com/ http://www.multiupload.com/
- icebraining 15y agoWhy not just keep it in the drive instead of downloading it when an online copy disappears?
- joeyh 15y agogit-annex can do this. Currently it supports Amazon S3, The Internet Archive, Tahoe-LAFFS, and rsync.net as cloud providers (with optional gpg encryption), as well as various options involving your own VPS, local hard drives, etc. Adding more cloud providers is a simple matter of haskell programming, or if you don't do haskell, shell scripting.
