Recommendation: Decide on how much time, efforts and lack of features youre willing to accept for a certain level of security and privacy. When using Spideroak youll see yourself using the cloud much less, because there arent all the features youre looking for compared to Dropbox or Drive. Plus the super privacy on Spideroak limits you in so many ways. So if you want to go the extra mile behind the first extra mile, id choose a european service to begin with, where the government is much more limited on what theyre allowed to access. SUMMARY: Spideroak does its best on keeping your files private and save, but being a US service is a huge bummer, because like it or not the USA is spying more today than probably all other countries combined. However its a very powerful app with lots of settings. Sadly it seems to be the same application underneath which needs a lot processing power and makes my computer feel slow from time to time. The App SpideroakONE finally looks better than the old verion from the 90s. And that can be really annoying if you have to download a huge backup. There are many reviews of Spideroak saying the same thing. I havent done any real speedtest i could display, but it just doesnt feel fast. Sure its great to store all your files in a super secure vault, but for documents you access and modify daily, its a pain in the a** having to open the vault everytime. There is no mobile upload for adding files or uploading all your pictures, theres no simple(!) sharing like you know from Dropbox and others. With the Spideroak mobile app you can pretty much only look at files. So you dont need two services anymore, but just one super secure service, which is great!īut because of its extreme security comes the downside that it limits you in many ways. You might argue that this is extremely paranoid and i completely agree with you, but i personally beleive that spideroak only makes sense to use if you are extremely paranoid.Īnother thing i like about Spideroak is the fact that they offer Cloud BackUp (like Crashplan or Backblaze) and Cloud Syncing (like Dropbox and Google Drive) at the same time. But still, one thing i dislike about Spideroak is the fact that they did everything to keep your data as save as possible, except for the fact that its a US based company, which puts them under quite a lot bullshit privacy laws the USA have. Something that they kinda worked around with their canary feature. In paranoid theory that means that the US goverment can make Spideroak implement a backdoor into the software. In the role of a super paranoid user thats the best you can get, except for one more thing: Spideroak is a US company with servers also located in the US. That way if the NSA comes sniffing around, there's simply nothing to give them. It means that Spideroak as a company does not have any access to your master password. They really do care about keeping everything as save as possible and came up with the idea of Zero Knowledge as the gold standard. Spideroak is the Cloud Service I want to use, because privacy is their number one priority.
