Ask HN: Encrypted Storage with File Requests?
6 comments
For open source you might look at NextCloud [1]. They have both a cloud and self hosted solution. Each users files are encrypted with their keys. Disclaimer, I do not use it. We were going to use it for an internal project but the AGPL license is not compatible for our company.

That looks like a powerful service. From a quick check, it seems to have all the things I need. Thanks a lot, it’s a step in right direction for me!
No problem. It looks like Linode [1] even have a way to deploy this as a pre-packaged app on a VM. I bet some other VPS providers probably do this too.

Long-time lurker here. My colleague and I are currently building our own distribution platform, primarily to share access to our software product artifacts (Docker images, ZIP files, MSI packages) to Gumroad subscribers. We are using S3 as a backend, so atleast some of your requirements would be fulfilled. 2FA is on our TBD list.
Totally of topic: I primarily replied because I found your LinkedIn profile, saw "Beaker" as product name for your previous work and laughed hard: We also chose a Muppet name for the platform described above: "Gonzo" ;-)

Looks like we might need to roll our own :(
Ha, Gonzo is great! Frankly, the name was the only exciting thing about the product. But I would definitely choose a similar name again, it makes my presentations funnier if I can insert a relevant picture with a muppet.
Sync.com is a Canadian solution that does what you are asking.
Maybe add them to your search keyword list!? :-)

As you can guess email is not ideal and I really don't like it from a security standpoint. If we try to go directly with S3, the business user is usually not too tech-savvy to get the CLI going.
Giving him a GUI, like Cloudberry, requires involvement of IT department, which as you can guess, takes quite a big of time in any reasonable bigger company and slows the process down.
I looked at Dropbox, Box, SpiderOak, Syncplicity, and Sookasa, but none of them fit the need. Basically I'm looking for a SaaS (preferably) offering that has the following features: * Browser client or support for Windows and macOS * File requests with password support * 2FA to access the files * File residency options or located in Europe * SOC2, HIPAA, ISO or any equivalent security certificate * Access logs and auditable at least on IP level * User-friendly and accessible for non-technical people
Nice to have: * File upload (through file requests) without an account * Zero knowledge encryption and open-sourced
I might just want too much though... Do you have your own solution? Is there something that I can host myself (rather not)?
