OpenCloud v7.5.0 released (rolling release)
🔐 E2EE - End to end encrypted vaults for folders and spaces
You can now create a vault, which is a single folder or a whole space where all files are encrypted. The encryption happens in your browser before the data reaches the server. File names are encrypted as well. The server never gets the key, so nobody with access to the server can read the content.
To create one, open "New", then "Folder", turn on the switch "end to end encrypt this folder" and set a passphrase. The folder gets a lock icon. When you open it you enter the passphrase once, and the vault stays unlocked for the current browser session. The passphrase is not stored anywhere.
Vaults are built on rclone crypt and are fully compatible with it. A folder that you encrypted locally with the rclone command line can be uploaded and opened in OpenCloud, and a vault that was synced to your computer can be mounted with rclone. Your data stays readable with a free standard tool, also without OpenCloud.
There are limits, because the server cannot read the files. Collabora and collaborative editing do not work inside a vault. Thumbnails are not shown in the file list, but you can still open images in the preview app. You cannot share single files out of a vault, only the vault itself. Encrypted spaces have no space image and no description yet.
There is no passphrase recovery. If you lose the passphrase, the content is lost. Please use a password manager.
So geil, ausprobiert (Spaces) funktioniert sehr gut.
Und noch ganz viel neue Features..
