I've not tried it yet but that's a long suspicious list of VC money for something hoping to be built opensource private p2p and decentralized

Self hosted? Looks like everything runs locally, what is being hosted? Are you talking about the p2p relays?

[–] coconutxyz@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (6 children)

yea should be that, currently i think the files sits with them therefore the 1gb limit but i could be wrong

[–] Twashe@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago (5 children)

They tout it being made 'local first' all data would then be stored locally so the user can access it offline. The 1 GB limitation is for paid backups which a user doesn't have to do. If I wanted a backup, I could just share p2p share from my laptop to my PC for example. Both would have copies.

The p2p relay is a way to coordinate p2p connections, data doesn't pass through them. Once a connection is made between my laptop and my PC data is transferred directly.

On the topic of the p2p relay it could expose IP addresses and device meta data. I've not done digging yet into the relays. But then again most DHTs do and even something like synthing has relays like this.

Wait do you mean I can sync it across my devices with p2p now?

[–] Twashe@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yep. I've not tried it yet. Finally came around to playing around with it though. What I noticed is by default it syncs to the backup and I can't figure out how to turn it off yet. That said the files are decrypted locally with the keys made when the account is created. About to look more into the privacy policy.
