I’ve never heard of crypt.ee till today, but wow is it amazing for all my document editing needs. Thank you!

They understand why I am passionate about selfhosting and privacy but they still have a reasonable expectation that things just work.

That’s somewhat where my head is at too at the moment. I do want to go the privacy route but I do also want something where it can “just work” (hence why I’m looking closely at third party solutions like entee and filen or proton drive). I do care about privacy, but having all the creature comforts that companies like Google has provided is still a bit difficult to let go.

Sync will stop once I close the app.

This is an iOS limitation, so no going around that unfortunately.

I’d say like 65% backup, 35% share/collaboration. It’s why this simple decision has become unnecessarily complex for me haha. I want a balance of privacy, yet I want the ease of access and user-friendliness of Dropbox.

From this thread, I think ente is partly perfect for my needs. I’ve been trying out filen and it’s been quite good, but I might stick with Dropbox till the Proton mac app launches and see how it is.

Might end up just doing NC + storej, though. Many have said NC has improved significantly as of late so it might be worth a look at once more.

How do you like Filen so far? I tried it out with a few directories and it felt very snappy. Plus, the .fileignore feature is phenomenal and I wish more providers would do it!

I heard when filen was first launched there were some issues with their encryption and some file loss, do you happen to know if this has largely been fixed? Thanks!

I’m assuming this would cost a fair bit then? Also, what do you use to sync the files from your devices to the servers?
