A note on the end-user drives

I feel it is really critical that the drives or directories sitting in the end-user's location be absolutely readable, as a file directory, containing the files. Even if that directory is inside a .tar or .zip or .gz file. Making it into a encrypted item should not happen, unless we make a VERY SPECIFIC, and redundant channel of such a thing. --Jscott 00:01, 2 March 2015 (EST)

Proposed solutions

  • Tahoe-LAFS - decentralized (mostly), client-side encrypted file storage grid
    • Requires central introducer and possibly gateway nodes
    • Any storage node could perform a Sybil attack until a feature for client-side storage node choice is added to Tahoe.
  • git-annex - allows tracking copies of files in git without them being stored in a repository
