@peterwyrm There are several "Zero Knowledge" cloud providers that can provide this capability. I'm currently using #Mega - another is #SpiderOak. Everything on their servers is encrypted with a key that only you know.

Basic plan is free but just 20G of storage and throttled bandwidth.

What with all the talk about the UK government insisting on backdoors with Apple storage (which may or may not happen, but anyway) I'm reconsidering why I use Dropbox at all.

It's a handy way of being able to dump content from my phone to my computer. But that's a frankly trivial use. Apart from that it's just backup and not really designed for that anyway tbh. I could use say #Spideroak which is zero knowledge E2E for backup and be safer.

I should fully encrypt my hard drive first though :/

An update on my #SpiderOak problems: the whole thing shit the bed while I was trying to troubleshoot it. Eventually I found a bunch of related OOM killer messages, checked my swap space, increased it by 4GB, then boom, SpiderOakONE is working again... for now.

@syntaxseed Oh geez, what a mess!

I've mostly stuck to #SpiderOak because I like that zero knowledge encryption is the default. I didn't think that #iDrive offers that level of encryption, but maybe that's what they mean by private key encryption? https://www.idrive.com/online-backup-security

@jackaponte 100%. In fact I found it to be so unresponsive even when it does launch that I was miles away from feeling like I can trust it to even backup my data. Not to mention that the web dashboard barely works and is very hidden on the #SpiderOak website. I also had problems getting it to take my payment. All signs of a product the company doesn't want to support anymore.

I switched to #iDrive after evaluating several options.

Speaking of which, do other #Ubuntu #Linux #SpiderOak users find the app to be terribly slow and crashy?

Bye bye #spideroak. I just can't trust you folks any more. An upgrade shouldn't knock out my off-site backups for months. (And also *still* no 2FA on accounts? Really? 🤨)

#SpiderOak is no longer getting new features. I know that so often this is what we say we want (software stability!), but as a corporate product, it does make me concerned about availability and longevity, especially from the perspective of psychology and developer interest.

Well, the #SpiderOak client got confused with syncing a directory with caps with another with no caps, and I lost all the PDFs I had been saving for filing my taxes.

I've heard others complain how the software has not been updated in years, and it's obvious checking their website that they don't care for non-business users anymore.

Time to look for a better #backup alternative. Any recommendations?

@gvwilson do people still like #Spideroak for this? It's zero-knowledge, I believe.

Finally got around to posting my blog about begining to migrate my #backups to #borgbackup from #spideroak using #borgbase and #vorta 😃

Still not done testing, but the process has been very simple for now.

@simon I recommend #Borg https://www.borgbackup.org/ (and I don't recommend #SpiderOak).

I am using Encryptr from SpiderOak as a password manager, a product that will be discontinued on March 4, 2021. I am already looking for a follow-up solution to migrate, so that the transition can go smoothly. Is Bitwarden my best option?
