24 alternatives to Ellipticc Drive – open-source cloud drive with E2E and PQ encryption

Hey HN, I’m Ilias, 19, from Paris. I built Ellipticc Drive, an open-source cloud drive with true end-to-end encryption and post-quantum security, designed to be Dropbox-like in UX but with zero access to your data, even by the host. What’s unique: Free 10GB for every user, forever. Open-source frontend (audit or self-host if you want) Tech stack: Frontend: Next.js Crypto: WebCrypto (hashing) + Noble (core primitives) Encryption: XChaCha20-Poly1305 (file chunks) Key wrapping: Kyber (ML-KEM768) Signing: Ed25519 + Dilithium2 (ML-DSA65) Key derivation: Argon2id → Master Key → encrypts all…

Ellipticc Drive is an open-source cloud storage service that encrypts files end-to-end using post-quantum cryptography, so the host cannot access user data. It offers a Dropbox-like interface with 10GB of free storage… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    Hi HN, I'm building ThirdCloud with the goal to replace Google Drive for everyone: more private, cheaper & maybe better UI/UX. So far, I've successfully implemented the main feature, which involves uploading and downloading files. Files are encrypted before being sent to IPFS network. Would like to hear your thoughts on this proof of concept.

    This is a project I made to learn more about crypto. I've also written a [post](https://vaktibabat.github.io/posts/ecurvechat/) that explains all the crypto concepts and algorithms used in the project, and how I implemented them. I'd be very glad for any feedback about both the code and the post :)

    I've decided to bite the bullet and release Bitbox.co and get some feedback. I've been coding for years and one of the things I constantly see companies do is write and rewrite a document storage system, so I decided to write one for them. Bitbox.co uses cloud storage (currently Azure) to store documents but can be coded to use any cloud service. Documents can be public or private and URLs to that document can be used directly in HTML. There are currently a list of WebAPIs for developers to use as a tool, or build an entire system around. This is an MVP and it's simple. Upload a file, get a…
