Your Weekly Privacy & Security Wins 🏆 (Week 45 - Mar 6 2025)

  1. Got my uncle who would backup photos to Onedrive to now use Filen to do so. (He initially was backing up to Onedrive, he started having frustrating issues with it I’ve used the chance to move him to another cloud provider).
    Now for most this might be an odd Choice but I had to use it’s lifetime plan as a bargaining chip so I had higher chances of convincing them so. On top of it’s generous 10 Gigs + 10 More when referring to them (which is what I did to start them at 20 gigs), Again in my opinion makes it for the best bargaining chip among the encrypted cloud storage providers. So while the rest of his files are on Onedrive, at least the photos are stored encrypted. :smiley:
    I could have convinced him to use Ente Photos but on top of it only starting at 5 gigs, There’s no bargaining chip I could use with Ente Photos.
    But hey, if it works, it freaking works!

    • Speaking of, before this I also reinstated their Signal Messenger as they somehow logged out, Maybe after recovering from backup signal didn’t properly login so they had to redo it. But hey I’m able to contact them here now!
  2. Starting to share the article Em at Privacy Guides made recently, that is slowly (this one I shared: Privacy is Also Protecting the Data of Others - Privacy Guides)
