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.
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 🤦♂️
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.
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.
