Dropbox is not a backup service. Most importantly, Spideroak encrypts files on your computer before uploading them to their servers, which means only you can see your files and no one else. Dropbox doesn't do this, which means that Dropbox employees could access your files, which a much less private solution. Guest • Nov 2016 • 12 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Dropbox is not a good SpiderOak alternative because: 1) It doesn't offer end-to-end encryption and the privacy advantages that offers (that's a big deal), 2) it's emphasis is on sync, SpiderOak offers sync and backup. Dropbox has been reported to be an NSA surveillance target; SpiderOak has no such concerns because of its encryption system. Parts of SO are open source. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 8 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Dropbox is not a backup utility and it does not offer any privacy or encryption like SpiderOak does.

Spideroak allows you to backup AND sync your files, but in a way that your files and their contents are only accessible to you, no one else.

File-sync Image Preview Share files Sync Calendars Support for WebDAV Add a feature 730 Like ownCloud is a PARTIAL SpiderOak alternative. Through oC's client you can backup and sync files. Typically, oC is run on your own server. This means only your hard disk limits the storage space, and your files belong to you. But oC doesn't encrypt your files in the "zero-knowledge" way, which SpiderOak does. SO costs money; oC doesn't unless you get a hosted version. Use oC with Cryptomator to maximize privacy/security.

However, since its inception, MEGA has been mired in various controversies and has had security flaws detected (since fixed). SO has enjoyed a solid reputation. Both MEGA and SO can become slow when dealing with large numbers of files (not necessarily large files). JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree

Works Offline Selective synchronization Unlimited storage Support for WebDAV Add a feature 587 Like OneDrive is bundleware integrated into MS Windows. It seeks to "help" you by syncing your files, even every MS Office document you write by default. (Switch that off!) It's intrusive, and it seeks to upload unencrypted versions of your files to MS servers. SO is a privacy-oriented company that encrypts your files in a way that makes them accessible only to you. Both sync your files, but SO respects your privacy. There also isn't a Linux sync agent for OD. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 6 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree

Peer-To-Peer Selective synchronization Add a feature 258 Like Resilio sync is for syncing, not for backup; SpiderOak is for both. Also, SpiderOak encrypts files on your computer before they get uploaded, so it offers that much more privacy out of the box. Resilio Sync will sync files MUCH faster, but should not be relied on for backup because you need a computer running all the time to use it. Check out SyncThing as an open-source and more trustworthy alternative to Resilio Sync. JohnFastman • Feb 2017 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree

Like SO, Tresorit is a company offering secure, end-to-end encrypted sync (which you can use as backup too). Files are encrypted on your computer and you hold the keys. Neither SO nor Tresorit can read your files. Tresorit is based in Switzerland, with stricter privacy laws. Both are Mac, Win and Linux friendly.

They are a partial SpiderOak alternative because they offer the option to have an encrypted folder to which only you have the password, and the contents of which only you can read. That is SpiderOak's whole way of working, so pCloud are a partial alternative. Uploads/Downloads are very fast though. Also Linux-friendly. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 Disagree Agree
