Hi I have been looking for a a cloud storage solution that lets me have files for example videos to be uploaded with encryption but that I can preview them either on android or pc without having to download them and I discovered this app which looks like a good solution for that? I started setting up koofr vault and rclone but it says that video preview cant be done with rclone yet so I tested with backblaze and it looks like it could work but when I tried it says I need a ultimate subscription... so am I correct in assuming that it would work in backblaze as long as I have the subscription? So then I could upload encrypted files to backblaze and when I needed to preview them I would do so via the s3drive app without downloading them? Can anyone confirm if thats how it works? I would buy the lifetime if so, ty ^^

Hi customer here. Yes you're right, you can also preview other files not just pictures and videos like documents, TXT files and so forth.

Hi! Video preview of encrypted videos works for S3 endpoints, not for Rclone (this is coming), so if you set up Backblaze using S3 setup screen: https://docs.s3drive.app/setup/bucket/ instead of Rclone it shall work just fine. Koofr vaults are entirely compatible with both S3 and https://rclone.org/crypt/ that we support, so instead of Rclone config, one could set it up with S3Drive, the issue is that we haven't yet implemented support for custom Rclone salt and 2ndary password which Koofr seem to be using in their vault, feature requests: https://s3drive.canny.io/feature-requests/p/add-support-for-custom-rclone-salt and https://s3drive.canny.io/feature-requests/p/support-2nd-rclone-crypt-password Whatever gets implemented first, Rclone streaming: https://s3drive.canny.io/feature-requests/p/implement-video-streaming-for-rclone-back-ends or support for additional cipher params, it will allow you to play-out Koofr Vault videos as well. I hope that helps, if you would like to give it a go as it is, I would be happy to enable trial on your account, in such case, please register: https://s3drive.app/signin and then click on Join: https://s3drive.app/pricing (but don't pay, this is so your account gets transferred to the billing system) and either DM me your e-mail or send it over to support in s3drive.app domain.

Hey so I have an s23 ultra, I'm using the default Samsung gallery app and I can see the albums I create in S3drive just fine, But I'd like to start using Google photos as my main gallery app but the albums I create in Google photos are nowhere to be found in S3drive app... Is there any trick to have my google photos albums show up in s3drive just like they do in Samsung gallery?

Hi, Is it possible that albums that you create using Google Photos aren't stored locally or are sandboxed within the Google Photos app scope? Is there any possibility to configure Google Photos, so it keeps albums in DCIM, Camera or other folder? We haven't played with Google Photos just yet, but we will get to that, as we would certainly like to provide easy backup/migration path from external apps.

From what I understand it doesn't make a folder like samsung gallery does, I guess it's something local that Google photos does but I'm not sure how an external application can access it... Oh well I'm back to Samsung gallery anyway, I don't need my photos on google, I'm using Storj for my personal stuff

Hi, this is a general question for linux users. I recently installed Linux Mint 22 and tried to install S3 Driveapp. But all three possibilities (AppImage, Deb., and Flathub) did not work. So I tried to use Web version via Falkon browser. While now I'm able to upload files properly, when I tried to upload folders, it says "Dialog dismissed or directory not accessible". It is wierd, because if I try to upload files in the folder it works, but if I try to upload folder, it does not work. Is is a problem of Mint? Thanks!

Only (not so) useful thing I have to say is I tried the AppImage one or two weeks ago on Linux Mint 20 and it also didn't run. It showed some error message in the terminal and that was that.

We've had a user here who reported that upgrading from Mint 20.3 to 21.3 did the job: https://discord.com/channels/1069654792902815845/1225088372964462695/1242743277200085144 we've considered this a win, and haven't really tried to fix the app for older (well not that old, but still) versions as it gets tricky to samelessly support all glibc, libmpv or fuse versions.

Does anyone have any advice? I don't see how my endpoint is formatted incorrectly but maybe I'm missing something

That's a weird one, because your endpoint looks good. I've quickly tried with some spaces at the beginning/end and tabs inside, but S3Drive still can parse the endpoint correctly. What's your OS?

Windows 10 Pro

By any chance, can you try Web? https://web.s3drive.app/loginS3

S3Drive - Zero Knowledge E2E encrypted storage

Easy-to-use client that converts any S3 server into your personal encrypted file storage. Rclone compatible, mount as drive, WebDav server, file versioning.

Listing exiting buckets worked but some new errors appear when trying to connect. Is it possible that some remnants of some old version are causing problems since it had been so many months since I upgraded? (edited)

I thought the whole idea of the AppImage format is that it is self-contained, so you don't have to rely on the underlying system to provide a minimal version X of package Y?

In most cases that's the case, however especially with glibc and its own dependencies it gets trickier... and the solution is actually to use the oldest possible OS to build the AppImage itself, but then app relies on libmpv2, whereas the older build system has only libmpv1 available and so on... and with FUSE I don't even remember the problem.

Hi, On Android sync works almost like in the desktop app. That is, folder sync is available and you can set up copy/sync/move from local folder to remote destination or vice versa. On iOS sync is limited to remote back-ends only, so it's only possible to copy data between your different clouds/accounts, but not necessarily from/to your phone. There is a platform specific permission issue that we need to solve. Do you have any specific question or would like to describe your use case, so we can assist your in setting things up?

Hi, firstly thanks for creating a privacy friendly, E2EE S3 and Rclone cloud storage compatible client. I was looking for one and found S3Drive to be promising. Hence, I purchased a monthly license on Android. But I noticed this purchase is not reflecting in Desktop app. Any way I can sync this purchase with Desktop app or with my account? Also, I am do planning to buy a lifetime license given the speedy progress I see in the app development. Is there any discount/deal coming up anytime soon

?

I am the lead developer on this project with a huge help of my partner. We hope to get a part-time QA and marketing resource in 2025. By the end of 2025 we will be looking for an additional pair of hands to maintain client-side software, which would then allow us to focus on our own storage architecture for managed plans, so we can provide competitive data packages and reduce our operating costs (we're using rather costly external partner to store user's files, before we're ready with our own arrangements). It's still an early stage as you can see, but it's growing rather nicely. We're full time on this since 2022 and not stopping which you can probably guess from our growing changelog: https://s3drive.app/changelog I do hope you don't get discouraged by this, but that's our way of building a sustainable business model. We're profitable, but our current income doesn't allow fast expansion. We could possibly seek external funding / VC to build the proper team straight away, but that's not something we plan doing. We prefer to have freedom, control (with the help of the community) over the project roadmap and be free from investors pressure. (edited)

Thanks Tom for honest reply. no, you not discouraged at all. in fact you inspired

I paid for android app, now going to buy full version via website. I was looking for ages for such application which could run on linux. I used to be big proton fan, but they keep ignoring linux users so this is nice alternative to proton drive. hope these values will stay the same in the future as they are now. (edited)

Hey Tom, I'm trying out Kopia as a backup tool and I wonder if it's possible to view the encrypted back up using S3Drive?

It's not at the moment. Ciphers are similar, but not the same. We/Rclone uses: XSalsa20-Poly1305, Kopia uses: CHACHA20-POLY1305-HMAC-SHA256. It also uses different storage layout. https://kopia.io/docs/advanced/architecture/#content-addressable-block-storage-cabs and https://kopia.io/docs/advanced/architecture/#content-addressable-object-storage-caos that we would have to parse/decrypt and understand in order to produce file list viewable to the user. Definitely possible, but given our workload and other features we would spread ourselves too thin if we've started work on that

Added feature item though: https://s3drive.canny.io/feature-requests/p/add-suport-for-reading-kopia-backups
