Huddu Drive — Simple file storage in the cloud - that's it
Huddu Drive is a convenient way to store your documents in the cloud. It allows you to upload files directly from within your code.
Files get encrypted by default and access to Drives is only permitted via secure tokens.

Hello @joshua3212
Your website and description don't share anything about your security practice except " are encrypted ", but it doesn't mean anything. Transparency and security are essential to trust file storage services "in the cloud".
Please, can you elaborate on how files are stored securely?
Have a good day
Hey @steevep
You're 100% correct on the information given about the storage being more than lacking.
About encryption:
We use GCS (Google Cloud Storage) for our us-central-1 storage engine. Each space thus gets its own bucket, where documents are stored. Those collections are encrypted using google managed encryption keys.
In the future, there are plans to allow users to encrypt their documents right on the client side (thus allowing for simple zero-trust implementation)
I just published a short docs page on our architecture (https://huddu.io/docs/platform-i...) maybe that's interesting to you as well.
Thank you for the question. I will add more information to the homepage as soon as possible.
Have a nice day 🎉 and best wishes for your upcoming launch!
@joshua3212 Thanks for your transparency! That's a good idea to bring all details about security on the home page.
You too, have a good day!
Hey @umberto_abbatantuono
I must say I have no clue how they finance that 😅.
If you have proper big storage needs and a low budget I'm sure other options offer cheap pricing/more generous free tiers than what we can offer at the moment.
Encryption is managed by Google Cloud Storage, which (I believe) uses AES-256 internally
Have a nice day!
