Discussions on privacy and how to lessen your footprints online

founded 1 year ago
 

Good morning, afternoon, or evening!

Periodically, I review my services to determine whether I'm getting the best balance of features for what I pay. For remote file sync I've been using Tresorit for quite some time... I find it easy to manage and I love that I can sync all of the things. Problem is... they keep changing the plans. I've manage to finagle discounts for long-term use, but I expect that my efforts will eventually fail.

So... what providers do you use? How have your experiences been? I'm willing to consider other providers, as long as they:

  • Have a solid track record (I use this for work type stuff and I don't want to find myself scrambling to reconnect to an offsite provider later)

  • Have E2EE (I mean, should be a given.)

  • Can sync individual folders and disparate locations

  • Preferably, are not hosted in a privacy-backward location.

Can you help? Or is poor Melpomene stuck paying for Tresorit forevermore?

Self hosting is the only way to guarantee privacy.

Otherwise, you should check out Cryptomater, which you can use with any cloud provider.

I self host as well, but self-hosting doesn't provide me an offsite backup. There are files that I need to protect against local disaster.

I'll check out cryptomancer, but I am good with a remote provider if they're E2EE. The risk there is minimal for my use case.
