  • Cryptomator

    Multi-platform transparent client-side encryption of your files in the cloud

  • You can encrypt your files with Cryptomator[1] if you don't want Google looking at your files. I'm not sure about their policy on that though? I mean if it's encrypted, then they can't scan for piracy / Christchurch videos and other contraband, right?

  • rclone

    "rsync for cloud storage" - Google Drive, S3, Dropbox, Backblaze B2, One Drive, Swift, Hubic, Wasabi, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, Azure Files, Yandex Files

  • this has been my take as well.

    honestly, if you're keen to share something you shouldn't, it's pretty trivial to host it via [rclone](https://rclone.org) as an http server. The only one accessing it is the original owner and gdrive can't tell that it's being shared beyond that.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
