Last week SWYX nerd-sniped me into building an Open-source Dropbox. Here is Locker: the ultimate open-source Google Drive/box/Dropbox alternative - Provider agnostic (S3, R2, vercel blob, local) - BYOB (Bring your own bucket) - Virtual file system - QMD Search plugin

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.

We started CallFS after yet another late-night “why did the uploads vanish?” incident. Our small team had stitched together rsync, a fragile NFS mount, and an S3 bucket—none of it observable, all of it waiting to bite us. So we wrote a single-process file service in Go that: • Speaks the S3 API (so existing tooling works). • Stores hot data on local disks for speed; cold data can sit in any S3-compatible bucket. • Exposes Prometheus metrics and JSON logs by default, because “what happened?” shouldn’t be guesswork. • Ships as a ~25 MB static binary—no external deps, MIT license. Today it’s…

For the last month or so I've been working on bewCloud, and today I'm making its source code public and open! Right now, the Dashboard (URLs + freeform notes), News (RSS/Atom/JSON feeds), and Contacts (CardDav) are working. If you have any suggestions, comments, or recommendations, I'd love to hear it. Thank you for your attention and kindness. I really appreciate it!

Hey HN, We're building ncrypt, an open-source encrypted file manager that allows you to store, manage, and privately query your files using fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). This project originally started as a simple SFTP-like CLI for my personal S3 buckets which I used to send and retrieve encrypted files and have more granular control over key rotation. As the number of files that I was storing grew, file discovery started to become a problem, and I found myself frequently having to download and decrypt files to inspect their contents. Rather than leaving them unencrypted in S3 and…

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…
