Secured File Synchronisation

Secured File Synchronisation

Infinite Disk provides you with end-to-end encrypted file synchronisation that works across all your devices. Since your files are encrypted before leaving your personal devices (phone, laptop etc.) no one except you have access.

Synchronising files across your multiple devices has many benefits:

  1. Convenient access to same files on multiple devcies
  2. Create backup copies should a device fail.
  3. Offline access when there is no internet connection.

Seafile

Currently the secured syncing of your Files to Infinite Disk defaults to the open sourced Seafile software, which we will be providing instructions here.

Alternatives

The beauty of having your own Private Cyberspace is that you can use any sync software you like. There are many open sourced alternatives available.

  • Syncthing end-to-end encrypted software is particularly useful when you want direct peer-to-peer sync.
  • Nextcloud end-to-end encryption is NOT stable and should be avoided (as of 22-05-02).
