What it does

Encrypt files in your browser and upload them to your own google drive. Nobody, not even Google can access your data.

ZeroDrive adds browser-based encryption on top of Google Drive. Protect files before upload, share encrypted copies, and keep recovery access under your control.

Sharing works the same way: your browser encrypts the shared copy before upload, then locks it with the recipient’s public sharing key . The server can help route the encrypted share, but the share record does not store a sender user ID, sender email, or plaintext recipient email. The recipient’s browser uses their private key to unlock the file. Your 12-word recovery phrase is what recreates the private keys this browser needs to open your encrypted files and restore encrypted key backups on another device. It is never sent to the ZeroDrive server and cannot be reset. The hosted app may retain it only in the current tab’s browser session so a reload stays unlocked; you should still save…from zerodrive.xyz

    We built an end-to-end encrypted alternative to Google Photos2021 · ▲1,180

    Hello HN, Over the last year we've been building ente[1], a privacy-friendly, easy-to-use alternative to Google Photos. We've so far built Android[2][3], iOS[4], web[5] apps that encrypt your files and back them up in the background. You can access these across your devices, and share them with other ente users, end-to-end encrypted. You can also use our electron app[6] to maintain a local copy of your backed up files. We've built a fault-tolerant data replication layer that replicates your data to two different storage providers in the EU. We will be providing additional replicas as an…

    Encrypt and upload files to IPFS from browser2023 · thirdcloud.org · ▲73

    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.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
