Syncany
Encrypted file sync to arbitrary storage backends
This project is archived. Upstream development has stopped, so expect no new features or security fixes. Consider an actively maintained file sync & storage alternative.
Syncany is an open source cloud storage and file sharing application that encrypts data locally before uploading it to any storage backend, including FTP, S3, WebDAV, or Samba. It gives users a Dropbox-like experience over storage they control.
