   Resilio Sync

    329 likes

   Similar to Syncthing and developed by BitTorrent, Resilio Sync offers an open source alternative to online storage services such as Google Drive and Dropbox. The application uses the BitTorrent protocol (P2P) and has a service for synchronizing files between your devices. This means that there is no central server linked to the software or the device used. The data is stored on all devices and exchanged with each other. Resilio Sync gives a secret key for each folder sharing to guarantee the security of the data. The user can send files to their network, or open their own folders on another computer without compromising the security of their personal data.

   Box

   Founded in 2005 in the US, Box is one of the oldest cloud-based file storage and sharing services. Known for its collaboration tools for businesses, it integrates more than 1,000 third-party applications through its application library called OneCloud. Despite a free 10 GB storage offer, it remains relatively unknown to the general public. Compatible with most platforms, it integrates countless features and third-party applications. It’s a reliable service, but with many limitations depending on the subscription plan you choose (starting at $10 per month for 100 GB for a personal plan).

   Seafile vs Dropbox Comments

   Top Positive Comment by Guest · Nov 13, 2016

   Although Seafile.de works with a slightly more complex client than does Dropbox, it also has more options. Importantly, it's open source, unlike Dropbox. Also, storing files using Seafile.de 's services mean your data is stored in Germany, which has stricter privacy laws. Note: Whilst Seafile does offer client-side encryption, at the time of writing this encrypts only file contents, not names or metadata. (Dropbox doesn't offer this at all, however.)

    Tresorit vs Dropbox Comments

    Positive comment by John Fastman · Nov 25, 2016

    End-to-end encrypted Dropbox alternative. Does what Dropbox, Google Drive and others do. But the files are only ever encrypted with passwords you keep, on your computer. So Tresorit doesn't get to see your private stuff. Expensive for individuals, though, but fantastic security.

    Positive comment by Guest · Sep 18, 2016

    Tresorit does everything Dropbox does, except that it's far more secure and private. It operates in Switzerland and keeps your files encrypted in a way that even the employees can't see them. This means that if they were hacked, your information isn't going to be leaked and they can't pass it on to snooping three-letter agencies.

    Positive comment by Guest · Nov 11, 2016

    If data security is important to you drop Dropbox and use Tresorit. Their product is always improving too, with more and more features!

    IPFS vs Dropbox Comments

    Negative comment by Gea-Suan Lin · May 9, 2019

    It's totally different concept between IPFS and Dropbox. IPFS focuses on distributed web system (protocol), and Dropbox is a sync and storage service.

    Negative comment by Benjamin Lupton · Jul 19, 2021

    IPFS is all VC-backed marketing hype that doesn't deliver. Also, it is not an alternative to Dropbox. IPFS is a protocol, Dropbox is a service and app. Apps use protocols, protocols don't use apps.

    Negative comment by poppabearten · Apr 16, 2021

    This is peer to peer not cloud storage.
