A secure (and cheap) alternative to Dropbox

February 18, 2014 – 00:46

A short article that isn’t directly related to QlikView, but if you’re looking for a secure way to synchronize and share your files across computers then this might be interesting for you nonetheless.

Like many people, I am a big user of Dropbox. Between my referrals, the free space that came with my Samsung phone and my paid subscription I now have 186 GB of online storage. While this is awesome for personal files, I’ve always been reluctant to use Dropbox for work-related documents, as time and again it is demonstrated that Dropbox is not secure. Besides that, Dropbox is also quite expensive, especially since I mainly use it to synchronize files and am not really interested in the cloud storage. With this in mind I set out to see if I could set up a more secure (and cheaper) alternative to Dropbox.
