How Hoodik Compares

Looking for an encrypted Dropbox alternative? Dropbox holds the keys to your files; Hoodik encrypts on your device, so the server only ever stores ciphertext.

"Pick Dropbox if desktop sync and third-party integrations are the job. Pick Hoodik Cloud if you want a server that cannot read your files. 14 days free, in the EU unless you ask for the US."

A private alternative to Google Drive: Drive is free, fast, and readable by Google. Hoodik encrypts in your browser, so the server never holds a key.

"Pick Google Drive for collaborative documents and a generous free tier. Pick Hoodik when the provider being able to read, scan, and act on your files is the thing you need to eliminate."

Icedrive encrypts one paid folder with Twofish and publishes no spec or audit. Hoodik is an Icedrive alternative that encrypts everything, with code you can read.

"Pick Icedrive for a cheap lifetime plan and a good-looking virtual drive on Windows. Pick Hoodik if you want the encryption to cover everything, use an authenticated cipher, and be something you can actually inspect."

An iCloud alternative that is always encrypted: iCloud E2E is opt-in, and Apple withdrew it in the UK under pressure. Hoodik encrypts everything, always.

"Pick iCloud Drive if you live entirely on Apple devices and want storage that disappears into the OS. Pick Hoodik if you want encryption that is on by default, cross-platform, and not a setting someone else can take away."

MEGA is cheap per terabyte, but academics broke its encryption model in 2022. Hoodik is a MEGA alternative with auditable code and post-quantum key wrapping.

"Pick MEGA for the cheapest large-scale encrypted storage and a 20 GB free tier. Pick Hoodik if a documented break of the encryption model, and the design decisions behind it, are disqualifying."

An encrypted alternative to OneDrive: Microsoft holds the keys, Personal Vault included. Hoodik encrypts client-side, so the server can decrypt nothing.

"Pick OneDrive if you already pay for Microsoft 365 and live in Windows and Office. Pick Hoodik Cloud if you need a server that holds no key to your files. 14 days free, in the EU unless you ask for the US."

pCloud sells zero-knowledge as a paid add-on covering one folder. Hoodik is a pCloud alternative that encrypts everything by default and stays searchable.

"Pick pCloud for lifetime plans and cheap bulk media storage you do not need encrypted. Pick Hoodik if you want zero-knowledge encryption on everything, included, and searchable."

Sync.com is zero-knowledge and closed source. Hoodik Cloud is a private instance from €9 a month, with server code you can read and a 14-day trial in the EU.

"Pick Sync.com for cheap zero-knowledge storage and a desktop sync client. Pick Hoodik Cloud if you want to read the server code. 14 days free, in the EU unless you ask for the US."

Filen is hosted end-to-end encrypted sync with a free tier and a desktop client. Hoodik Cloud is a private instance from €9 a month, with a 14-day trial in the EU.

"Pick Filen if you want a desktop sync client and 10 GB free. Pick Hoodik Cloud if you want your own encrypted instance and server code you can read. 14 days free, in the EU unless you ask for the US."

A Nextcloud alternative for storage: one Rust container with zero-knowledge encryption by default, instead of a PHP suite where E2EE is a partial add-on.

"Pick Nextcloud if you need a full productivity suite (calendar, contacts, office); pick Hoodik if encrypted file storage is your primary concern and you want it lightweight and zero-knowledge by default."

Proton Drive is hosted zero-knowledge storage inside the Proton suite. Hoodik Cloud is a private instance from €9 a month, with a 14-day trial in the EU.

"Pick Proton Drive if you want Mail, VPN, and Drive on one account. Pick Hoodik Cloud if you want a private encrypted instance and server code you can read. 14 days free, in the EU unless you ask for the US."

A Seafile alternative that encrypts by default. Seafile syncs brilliantly but encrypts optionally; Hoodik runs zero-knowledge E2E on every file, always.

"Pick Seafile if you need a sync client with delta sync and team collaboration features; pick Hoodik if end-to-end encryption by default is non-negotiable and you want a simpler deployment."

Tresorit sells enterprise end-to-end encryption with compliance paperwork. Hoodik Cloud is a private instance from €9 a month, with a 14-day trial in the EU and server code you can read.

"Pick Tresorit if you need compliance certifications and dedicated support. Pick Hoodik Cloud if you want auditable code and a flat price with no per-user fee. 14 days free, in the EU unless you ask for the US."
