Comment on Why SpiderOak doesn't de-duplicate data across usersparent

Comments

As long as they have the files in plaintext, I prefer the 'ridiculous' method for the speed benefits. If you upload data unencrypted and expect perfect privacy on it you're fooling yourself.

SpiderOak encrypts your files before upload, and they don't have the keys. ( https://spideroak.com/whyspideroak )

Thats why at the end of the post they say that even if they decided to deduplicate in the future, they would have no way of retroactively doing it.

Yes, SpiderOak does, but I'm talking about the ones being complained about.
