It is the umpteenth time I see a "Dropbox clone" on HN, but none of them is.

I badly want an open-source sync online storage client and server, cross-platform, with encryption at least om a server side, that I can install on my own VPS or my own host at home.

Online storage became an important element of a digital life, pretty much like Web earlier. I know that Dropbox is an YC company, but I wonder where are Apaches and Nginxes of the online storage?



I think Seafile checks all your boxes. I run it on a VPS and use the Windows, Linux and Android clients daily without any issues. I haven't tried the encryption but it allows you to password-protect folders.
