      What’s this exactly? Would you mind an explanation? I would like my files to only be my files.

        Creates a client-side fully e2ee vault to safely store your cloud files in on whatever cloud is compatible (Dropbox, OneDrive, Sync, etc)

        Dropbox can scan that AND my balls and share it with all their partners and I don’t give a fuck lol

      An interesting note: OneDrive really dislikes that, it reads your encrypted files as ransomware and asks you to say they’re OK every time you upload something new. It’s really annoying.

        Then stop using it and go to Sync > Dropbox > Box (not 100% if it works for Box), way better

        Of course OneDrive hates it, you’re cucking Microsoft from access to your cleartext files.

        I can’t haz private files? 🥺

        —Microsoft, definitely
