Satisified filen customer here!
That’s cool that kDrive uses onlyoffice as their backend; that’s my preferred desktop FOSS office suite after testing formatting compatibility to MS word back when I gave a shit about that. I don’t really need an online office suite these days but still cool. Too bad their storage is not e2ee 🤦♂️
This exactly. No e2ee on kdrive was a deal breaker for me, but otherwise their service is really solid. So now I’m happy with filen on Android, Linux and Windows.
They are publicly against e2ee, they are even supporting a proposal to ban it nationwide in Switzerland. Proton and other Swiss privacy oriented companies have voiced their criticisms.
Cryptpad has been my go-to for a while now. Like kDrive they use OnlyOffice for online docs and sheets editing and collaboration, but unlike kDrive they provide e2ee out of the box.
I was on Nextcloud for a while but found it a bit cumbersome. Tried Filen which worked well for personal use but I run a small business and volunteer with a couple orgs where I support the cloud storage and collaboration apps, and Filen doesn’t work for this use case.
Cryptpad works well self-hosted (although they do have cloud offerings) and I don’t have to worry about maintaining a separate OnlyOffice backend either (which I had to do with Nextcloud). This ends up saving me money on server infrastructure too.
I’m not sure why it’s not included in the graphic but I think it should definitely be in consideration.
Thanks for doing this.
