Koofr just ended the year with a bang!
They just announced a new feature, Koofr Vault (best compared to pCloud Crypto), that is an encrypted folder inside your Koofr storage. This feature is included for free in all plans :)

  • Open Source
  • Compatible with rclone

https://vault.koofr.net/

Powerful, open source client-side encryption. Unlock enhanced security for your most sensitive files with Koofr Vault.

@vyas X-MAS comes early this year :D pCloud charges for pCloud Crypto. Used Cryptomator so far, but this is a welcome addition.

    Interesting. Still need an epic sale to be convinced though.

    Glad I'm past that. Bought in at 90€ish and haven't looked back.

    I grabbed it when it was the coupon for 30% off. I have not used it though. It's idling like a champ.

    I also picked it up with the 30% off coupon. I set up rclone and mounted it on small VPS to use as a secondary backup server. It has been working real well for this purpose. My backups are encrypted at the source so this is what I was sending there. Now with this new feature I can use it for some other things that are not encrypted. This was a nice add on feature and a pleasant surprise.

    I am currently traveling in mostly remote areas until sometime in April 2024. Consequently DM's sent to me will go unanswered during this time.

    There is no epic sale, but there is a coupon at the moment. Koofr current offers from Stacksocial can be ordered with 20% off by using coupon KOOFR at checkout.

    Sadly, an insufficient discount for premium idling.

    Exactly. Some people were already complaining on the OGF, but honestly this is a freebie and if you don't wanna use it, you don't have to. pCloud charges for pCloud Crypto, so more than happy this has been a free addition :)

    Will also give it a try.

    Why? Most providers offering encryption don’t charge extra. pCloud are the exception.

    I tried this new feature. It allows rclone to login using 2 passwords, one is the password set by client for the vault, the other is the unique salt of the vault. I must admit this seems quite safe and interesting if they keep no records of the passwords.

    Now remains to be seen if there is no trick behind it. I am curious to see what happens if someone puts a copyright material within the vault. In theory they should not be able to do anything about it, simply because everything is encrypted and provider has no access on the content. I am not willing to try it and break the law though, because unfortunately I might get a big "invoice" from my government.

    Do you have to sign up with enough personal details to allow such an invoice to get to you?
