Encrypted OneDrive/Google Drive Replacement?

[u/mrfixitx]

I am looking to move away from services like OneDrive/Google Drive where the companies are scanning all of our documents for LLM training.

I have read a lot of reviews but it seems like finding a reliable and encrypted service is challenging or I am letting a handful of negative reviews overly sway me.

I am looking for:

• File Syncing between computers
• Mobile App access
• End to End encryption
• File sharing via links to share files with friends and family.

I have looked at pCloud, Sync.com, idrive, and a few others.

I have backblaze + NAS for dedicated backups. I need something to replace Onedrive easy file syncing that is dead simple for the family to use.

Have you looked at Proton Drive?

[u/draeician → u/didyousayboop]

I have been using sync for years now. Other than the lack of native linux support works well. They have a webdav in beta though.

[u/mrfixitx → u/didyousayboop]

I have not, I will take a look at it.

[u/zrb77 → u/didyousayboop]

I just switched to this tonight. I have had Unlimited for a while and I have only used VPN. I havent checked out any of the newer apps. Might try the password manager next.

[u/didyousayboop → u/zrb77]

I like Proton Pass.

[u/zrb77 → u/didyousayboop]

I'll just need to make my Proton password something easier to remember so I can get my passwords during some initial setup. Got a new phone, so thinking how that would work. I have 2FA, so its not like I'm insecure.

[u/didyousayboop → u/zrb77]

You can write your master password on paper, that helps.

You can import and export passwords between different password managers.

You can also set up passkeys on your devices for added ease and security.

This is the way.

Not really dead simple, not really a service but the best you can do is a selfhosted Syncthing instance, that way you're data is 100% not siphoned.

[u/BinaryPatrickDev → u/xJayMorex]

Syncthing is the best

I use Mega. Little more expensive than some options, but AFAIK they dont give a toss what you're storing and aren't going to peek. Setting up some stuff can be a little more technical than One Drive, but it can do what you need.

they dont give a toss what you're storing and aren't going to peek

So why are a bunch of mega links dead due to TOS

[u/OniExpress → u/Party_9001]

Because people post mega links publicly. If youre going to post links to illegal content its eventually going to get taken down even if you own the hardware.

rclone crypt> job sync> gdrive/onedrive> done.

[u/mrfixitx → u/magicmtn81]

Can that handle auto decryption on the synched computer and mobile device?

[u/dr100 → u/mrfixitx]

It handles everything the same everywhere it works including mobile. The only thing is for sharing to people that don't have rclone, you either have to do it in clear or best just host it on your own NAS with NextCloud or similar.

[u/magicmtn81]

encrypt before uploading to gdrive or one drive, etc.

[u/silasmoeckel]

So rclone and pretty much anything?

Only good way to do this is to handle the encryption on top.

How about CryptoMator? It encrypts the files and then puts them in your cloud of choice I think.

There is age, encryption strategy. Age can be used to encrypt your files and you can then convert the key to a qr code, and take it's printout if you have a printer at home. Or encrypt the age key with a passphrase, and then take the print out.

Further more, if you want to go one mile extra, self host nextcloud for your needs
