Anfang des Jahres habe ich die Backup-Lösung (Crypted Cloud) von #SpiderOakOne rausgeschmissen, da alles schlechter wurde (Ausfallzeiten, null Infos, Website down, SSL errors).
Der Grund wird augenscheinlich. In einer Mail macht #SpiderOak nun Werbung damit, dass das alte Team zurück sei, einschließlich des Co-Founders, und Alles wird wieder gut und viel toller.
Vielleicht. Aber ohne mich. Zudem ein #Backup-/File-Server in den USA mittlerweile ein grundsätzliches Risiko ist.
@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 :/

@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.
