Hi,
For years, and for personal use (me & my friends), I've been watching and checking on FOSS softwares to setup a cloud for file syncing and web-availability. My current cloud software, and has been for years, is Seafile.
I've been looking at alternatives in order to migrate for months if not years, because Seafile is chinese, in C (kind of a old language now, missing rust features), and tends to grow into a disordered monster with too many bloat features for my use-case. But while I do find a lot of new alternatives (OxiCloud being one of them), and keep checking on them, they do not implement what is to me mandatory before I migrate; I'm talking about server-side encryption for files, and zero-trust principle.
My friends won't sync their own files on my server, if I, as an admin, can access them.
Moreover, if I'm being hacked, this gives the hacker access to me and my friends' files.
Surprisingly, this is not available in the majority of the existing alternatives.
Being the architecture choices you made, or the UI you put together, I feel like migrating to OxiCloud is a natural choice for me.
But I've taken a look at your current todo-list/roadmap, and this feature does not seem to be prioritized right now.
While I can understand that, I feel like taking it into account too late can imply re-architecturing your solution around encryption, which could cost you a lot of time.
I'm curious and would like to understand : am I the only one with this problem ? In which recent use-case would this not be needed, apart from being alone on the server ?
