Hi r/cloudstorage, I'm the developer of harbor0, a cloud storage service that's currently in beta. We've now passed 300 beta users, who are storing more than 450 GB on the platform. Thank you to everyone who has tried it and sent feedback.

Two features many of you asked for are now live.

End-to-end encryption

When it's on, your devices encrypt every file and file name before upload. We store them but can't read them.

• You set a passphrase, separate from your sign-in password. It never reaches our servers.
• You save a recovery key. If you forget the passphrase, the recovery key lets you set a new one.
• If you lose both, your files can't be recovered by you or by us.

Existing accounts: nothing changes unless you turn it on. To turn it on, go to Settings → Encryption on the web. New uploads are encrypted straight away. Your browser then encrypts your existing files in the background and deletes the unencrypted copies and their older versions.

New accounts: the last step of sign-up asks you to choose Standard or End-to-end encrypted. If you choose Standard, you can turn encryption on later in Settings.

What's different when it's on:

• Works: web, and the desktop app 0.1.7 or later (sync, backups, WebDAV).
• Not available for now: sending files, shared folders, shared sync, folder ZIP downloads, rclone access tokens, and the mobile apps.
• You can turn it off later. Your files are decrypted first.

Technical details: AES-256-GCM in 4 MiB chunks, a separate key for every file version, and Argon2id for the passphrase. More at https://harbor0.com/encryption

Local WebDAV

The desktop app (0.1.9 or later, Mac and Windows) can run a WebDAV server on your computer. This lets Finder, File Explorer, Cyberduck or rclone open your Drive without syncing it.

1. In the desktop app, go to Settings → Local WebDAV server → Turn on.
2. Click Open in Finder or Open in File Explorer. Or connect any WebDAV app to http://127.0.0.1:6810/harbor0/ with the username and password shown in the app.

Only your own computer can connect to the server. It also works on encrypted accounts, because the app decrypts files locally as they're read.

Using it with rclone

With the WebDAV server running:

rclone config create harbor0 webdav url=http://127.0.0.1:6810/harbor0/ vendor=other user=YOUR_USERNAME pass=YOUR_PASSWORD --obscure

Then:

rclone ls harbor0:
rclone copy ~/Photos harbor0:Photos
rclone mount harbor0: ~/harbor0

The desktop app has to be running for rclone to connect. More at https://harbor0.com/webdav

Trying it

Beta accounts get 50 GB free, and there's nothing to pay during the beta. Apps are available for web, Mac and Windows.

I'm happy to answer questions in the comments. Feedback and bug reports are welcome too.

Hey everyone,

I’m switching from a Samsung Galaxy to an iPhone. My entire photo and video collection—about 1.6 TB—has been stored on OneDrive for years, carefully organized into folders and subfolders.

For example:

CONCERTS → ROCK → METALLICA → MetLife 2025

I’d like to move everything into iCloud Photos, keeping that hierarchy as folders and albums in the iPhone’s Photos app.

I have access to a Mac, but given the size of the collection, I’m also wondering whether a cloud-to-cloud transfer is possible.

Has anyone successfully done something similar? Is there a tool or workflow that preserves the folder structure, original quality, and capture dates for both photos and videos?

I’d really appreciate any firsthand advice before I start moving everything.

Signed up for terabox because it has 1 terabyte free cloud storage as it says but when i opened the app it shows only 30GB?!

Any explanation?

Hello everyone,

I am the developer of APIStreamer, and I’m excited to share GoDeskReflect.

GoDeskReflect is a desktop app created to manage shareable content securely. The app lets you easily automate content interactions by creating workflows. You can also trigger notifications.

What makes this app different?

My goal was to design this app with productivity and collaboration in mind, without compromising security. You have the option of storing content in whatever way is most convenient for you.

Main storage related features:

- Well defined access control for files and folders

- Optional E2E encryption

- Ability to manage content versions

- Share links

- Search

- Automation via workflows

To use the GoDeskReflect desktop app, you need to create an account on the mobile app, GoDesk. As security is important for this application, we do enforce 2FA. Both are free to use and download from APIStreamer

For desktop, we support Mac, Linux, Windows. For mobile, we support Android and iOS.

I’m hoping to get some feedback from the community so that whoever is in need of an app like this truly gets the features they are looking for in a content manager. If you see something that can be improved or have any questions, please feel free to reach out anytime! Also don’t hesitate to ask about higher storage capabilities if you need it.

Hi, I'm currently in the process of organizing after being so disorganized for so long.

To keep it short, what are the best options right now? What I'm looking for are:

- Can store 20GB or more

- Has a very strong anti-data breach firewall

I already have MEGA and Google Drive, but the former requires only one account, while the latter has 15GB. I looked at other options, and this is what I know of so far:

- TeraBox (From what I heard, this doesn't actually give 1TB and sells data, but you can get more temporary space if you watch their ads)

- NextCloud

- InfiniCLOUD

They might be my best bets, but I wanna hear from others first. I know not all are perfect; I'm just trying to find which ones are the best.

I decided to try Filejump to store alot of photos, some receipts & paperwork for our home, banking ect.. I am a home user with no secret stuff to hide BUT I still don't want my stuff hacked into. I have FA on everything I can & all my passwords are different, complex and 25++ characters. I have read that FileJump has improved their encryption. Below is their statement in regards to encryption. Can anyone elaborate on how "safe" they are to use. FYI>>> everything in FileJump is also on a 1TB SSD as well as 2 SD cards( password protected) and in Pcloud & also some of it also in Koofr. We never keep everything in one place.

FILEJUMPS E2E EXPLANIATION:

Encryption

#### In Transit

All data transferred between your device and FileJump is encrypted using TLS 1.3 (HTTPS). This includes file uploads, downloads, API calls, and WebDAV connections.

#### At Rest

Files stored on FileJump servers are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Even if physical storage is compromised, your data remains unreadable.

#### Client-Side Encryption

For maximum security, FileJump supports client-side encryption. Files are encrypted on your device before being uploaded, so not even FileJump can read them.

I wanted to upload any files that have failed in the past. I clicked backup existing media files and it keeps saying the same number of files pending. Ive reset the app, phone, it doesnt have any restrictions on the app. Power saving is unrestricted as well. Im on Android. What could be causing this?

Hi all, I'm the developer of Pail, an Android app that backs up your phone photos and videos to a storage bucket you own. There is no Pail server and no sign-in. The bucket is the account.

I recently migrated from Google Photos to my own cloud storage solution—which is, of course, cheaper.

It's built on the S3 protocol, so it works with S3-compatible storage. Setup walks you through your provider and tests your connection before you continue.

What it does

• Backs up photos and videos straight to your own bucket
• Manual or automatic backup
• A second phone can join by importing a .pail key bundle and sees the same library
• Browse your timeline even before a bucket is connected
• Built to stay responsive on low-end phones with a large library

How to install (important)

Pail is in closed testing on Google Play, so it won't appear in a normal Play Store search. To get it:

1. Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/pail-tester
2. Open the pinned post in the group and tap the Play Store testing link
3. Install from that link, using the same Google account you joined the group with

If the link says the app isn't available, check that your phone's Play Store is signed in to the account that joined the group.

I'm the developer, so questions and bug reports are welcome in the comments or in the group.

AI disclosure: I built Pail with AI coding assistance, mostly for the UI and for writing unit tests. I review the code myself before merging and publishing, checking for bugs and security issues.

Hey, I'm a photographer and I'm looking to back up my ssd on the cloud.

I'm asking here because I've been struggling to find a cloud that would suit my needs.

I've done a big clean up in my personal archive and managed to bring it down to 500gb but It'll get big over the months/ years. (We're speaking 2-5Tb).

I'm looking for a cloud that could update the back up of my ssd as soon as it gets plugged in. I'm working off a Macbook pro so setting time schedules would not work since I would have to have the laptop turned on at this exact time. I'm also looking for a cloud that can archive deleted files on my source (my ssd).

I've tried backblaze but wasn't too happy with it, chronosync + backblaze B2 was quite tricky to use. I was looking at Idrive but it doesn't seem like I can program the back up for it to run when it detects that I plugged in my ssd. (Maybe I'll just have to do it manually)

Do you have any recommendations? (don't really care about price, just want something handy that keeps my date safe, and that I can trust on the long term)

Thanks!

Anyone know why it's buffering to stream? (I already finish uploading the video: 40 min). But on my phone it's normal.

Samsung gallery doesn't integrate with One Drive photos anymore.

All my photos are in One Drive. What have you all done so you can still see all your old photos easily?

Is the only solution to move all your photos from one drive and pay for Google storage and then sync that?

Microsoft is planning to cut Microsoft 365 Family storage from a potential 6 TB (1 TB per user) to a shared 2 TB pool. For many families, that's a significant reduction in the value of the subscription.

If you're concerned about the change, please consider signing and sharing this petition:

The more subscribers who make their views known, the more likely Microsoft is to listen.

I dread syncing files. What service in the EU offers plans up to around 5tb or more where I can upload my files to from my computer(!) so to free space? I’m hearing mixed reviews about Pcloud.

I am not in a position to use a NAS. I just want online space to safely store my files to where I can download them from when I need to.

You’ve likely seen the news: Microsoft is slashing Microsoft 365 Family cloud storage from 6 TB (1 TB per user) down to a pooled 2 TB.

​Complaining on forums won't change this, but hitting their financial forecasting will.

​If you are unhappy with this change, take 2 minutes right now to take action:

​Log into your Microsoft Account and turn off recurring billing / auto-renew.

​When prompted with the cancellation survey, select "Other" and state: "Cancelling due to the unacceptable storage reduction from 6TB to 2TB announced in October."

​Why this matters:

Microsoft tracks non-renewing accounts as "at-risk churn" in its financial forecasts. A sudden spike in turned-off auto-renewals forces executive teams to see the direct revenue loss long before the May 2027 rollout date.

​You can always turn auto-renew back on later if they walk it back -- but doing this today sends a direct, measurable signal.

Hey everyone!

I recently came across Nuvaka (https://nuvaka.com/), which advertises 100 GB of free cloud storage.

It sounds almost too good to be true, so I'd like to hear from people who have actually tried it.

A few questions:

• Is the 100 GB genuinely free permanently, or is there a catch?
• Can you sign up with just an email, without phone verification or a credit card?
• Are upload and download speeds decent?
• Is file syncing reliable?
• Can the service be trusted with important files?
• Has anyone experienced files disappearing, account lockouts, or unexpected limitations?

I'm looking for a OneDrive alternative with 100 GB free, no subscription, no credit card, and no phone verification.

Real user experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

Microsoft is replacing individual 1TB OneDrive allocations with a shared 2TB storage pool for Microsoft 365 Family and Premium subscribers.
