Dropbox isn't audited. They have a poor track record for security (lying about internal access then trying to downplay). So even if you encrypt with truecrypt, you're running the Dropbox binary for uploading, and it can do anything - in short, you're trusting them.
I've not found an open source tool that does block level backups with diff/compression support. Getting the client experience right is hard and not a whole lot of fun, so I'm guessing there's little incentive for companies to open source that valuable part.
Thanks for the info on Erlang.
- pjc50 11y agoI keep a list of cloud sync solutions I've looked at for a similar use case: https://github.com/pjc50/pjc50.github.io/blob/master/secure-clouds.md https://github.com/pjc50/pjc50.github.io/blob/master/secure-... I'm still not quite satisfied either.
- simoncion 11y agoOh! You were looking for audited sync clients. Yeah, I've got nothing there. Edit: I would ask "How hard could it be to solve 90% of the problem?", but various BigCos have had spectacular failures in recent memory, so I guess the problem is pretty damn hard. I wonder how terrible using git as the backbone for one's sync software would be.
