So, this whole thing kicked off because I hit a wall with local storage - it just doesn’t grow with you forever, you know? Plus, putting all my eggs in the basket of other companies felt a bit risky with all the changing rules and government access stuff these days.
What I ended up with is pretty cool: a personal file vault where I’m in charge. It treats any outside storage like it can’t be trusted, and all the encryption happens right on my computer. I can even use cloud storage like S3 if I need to, but I never lose control of my own data.
Honestly, it just kinda grew on its own; I never set out to build a product. I’m mainly sharing it here to see how other folks deal with these kinds of choices.

The reaction to the post was strangely aggressive :/ I feel like I understand why this exists, and it’s really nice to have another open source project for this kind of uses. It definitely looks interesting with a clear focus on creating a safe system to use external storage. For my case it is not the most adequate solution but I definitely see the value here. Keep the good job and don’t get discouraged by the comments!
Thanks a lot. Yes, it’s not the most adequate solution yet, that’s exactly why I’m reaching out to communities and forums, to get feedback and improve it every day so it can eventually be useful to more people.
