I Built a Cloud Storage with E2E Encryption — Here Is Why

I Built a Cloud Storage with E2E Encryption — Here Is Why

The Problem

Every time you upload a file to Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive, your data sits unencrypted on their servers. They can read it, scan it, and use it for advertising.

I wanted something different.
