Does anyone else here use https://cryptpad.fr/ ?

I'm loving it so far- it's probably the best privacy focused g suite alternative I've found. It's easy enough to use that even the non-technical among us can use it

Me and my team are planning to use it for the upcoming https://wrccdc.org/ competition.

During the regionals competition, we go to a physical location and are not allowed to bring our own electronics. In addition, there is a firewall with an allowlist, meaning we have to ask for stuff to be unblocked, or self host services we will want/need.

Crytpad is small enough that it can be deployed during competition without much fuss, and it allows for collaborative editing, which is useful for things like sharing passwords.

I haven't heard of that competition, but it looks really cool.

Outside of the competition, does your team self host cryptpad?

I ended up paying for a subscription- I wanted to support the development + it being E2E alleviates most of my concerns about storing info in the cloud.

Also, I'm honest with myself to know that cryptpad.fr probably has a better backup setup than my Proxmox mini PC + Synology combo 😅

Not yet :(

We use a service called Box, in combination with Microsoft office online, and it sucks.

Is that this tool?

I haven't heard of it before- is it kind of similar to cryotomator?

[–] moonpiedumplings@programming.dev 1 points 6 months ago

No, box is it's own cloud storage platform, like drive. But it doean't have it's own alternative to google docs/sheets/etc, sp it integrates the web versions of microsoft word/excel/etc.
