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.

Looks like they did open a US data center, but the storage shares are still Germany & Norway.

I might still give it a shot, it’s not a large commitment so might be good to try.

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’ve heard a lot of issues (from a few old reddit threads though) in regards to NC Encryption, specifically with data loss and file integrity. I don’t think I’m comfortable going that route, but if they’ve made improvements I might as well check it out

Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Hetzner EU only? If I’m in the U.S., wouldn’t that make file syncs rather slow?

On their roadmap I think I saw they were going to bring support for it? But yeah I wouldn’t trust that until I see it. It’d be annoying to transfer over all of my data from DB to filen if I were to go that route, but at the same time rclone already supports Proton Drive, but the mac app still isn’t here.

This actually seems like a very cohesive solution, might try it out!

Wouldn’t mapping it directly to truenas be somewhat slow especially if I’m always on the go? My Truenas server is at at home while I dorm on campus, so I’m not sure if it would work out well. Plus, I’ve had a lot of issues with truenas + my hardware which led to me keeping this server mostly down over the last year or so. Everything seems stable and works fairly well now, but just airing on the side of caution.

Does NC photos have tagging? Auto-tagging is why I’ve always been with Google Photos tbh, an alternative would be nice though.

That said, my mac is mostly code, some emulation related stuff (thus the 10 gb limit of tresoit being annoying for me), and some documents/notes. My media is already self-hosted on jellyfin which works great atm, but I have it on my dropbox as well right now.

I’m curious, are there any ways to just not backup directories in a .gitignore type of way? I started trying out filen and this single feature is just very very compelling for me

I haven’t used NC in a while but the improvements seem good at first glance!

Sorry, but could you elaborate? Is there a specific way or thing you do to sync to azure?

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?

Yeah I’ve had similar experiences with Microsoft switching my currency out of nowhere and it was weird…

Recently been using Brave Search but in general I feel like there just aren’t any good search engines anymore?

It’s wild because Bing is generally quite good now, but I switched away from it recently because it kept trying to advertise edge…

Meanwhile edge tries to advertise “pay later” schemes and really gets in your face about bing…
