Peergos: An Open-Source IPFS Peer-To-Peer Google Drive Alternative That You Can Self-Host

peergos home

Google Drive may be popular, but it does not offer end-to-end encryption. Moreover, it is not an open-source offering.

Peergos is not just an ordinary alternative to Google Drive. It is much more than just a private web storage platform. With Peergos, you get an end-to-end encrypted private webspace built on top of IPFS protocol (peer-to-peer). Not just limited to its security/privacy, you also get the ability to socialize with your friends in the platform using the newsfeed.

So yes, a bit like a cross between Nextcloud and Cryptpad with the P2P functionality. You can self-host for free (at your hosting cost) or pay for a cloud hosted offering.
