  • Your files (and their metadata) are stored end-to-end encrypted on ente. This by definition means that only you can access them. Now in addition to the documents on our architecture and reliability, we also live publish the source code to all our apps (mobile, web, desktop). Our releases are available on F-Droid as well as Github, where the apps are built straight from the source. So in the off-chance that you don't wish to blindly trust us, you can still verify that your data is end-to-end encrypted by either building the app from it's source or simpler still, grabbing the app from one of these stores. We intend to publish reproducible builds to other stores as well (they unfortunately don't make it as simple as Github or F-Droid), so that it's technically impossible for us to deviate from our claims.
