I have been using it for last 1 year. I have been amazed by the fast pace of the development, not many features lacking now compared to Google Photos despite being E2E.

Kudos on the Ente team!!


Takes up a serious privacy issue which isn't getting surfaced for google photos given its free. There has to be something shady happening behind the scene with google photos data given its offering such expensive cloud storage unlimited free.

1. Any reason for the storage pricing to be significantly more expensive than other cloud storage providers like drive, onedrive? 2. How do you plan to support sharing if the data is encrypted using the user password generated key ?


> There has to be something shady happening behind the scene

Haha, I believe so too.

> more expensive

Not owning data centers definitely is one reason. But I believe that I'm cheaper when compared to other alternatives[1] that are attempting to solve the same problem.

> sharing

When you attempt to share a file, the file-password is encrypted with a freshly generated key, sent to the server, and this key is then shared via public key cryptography (or within a URL fragment in case of a public-share).
