midden-offsite

One household's own encrypted backup, kept in its owner's own Google Drive.

What it is

midden-offsite is a private backup tool run by Aaron Ball for his own household. Once a week, a computer in his house copies the household's files into his own Google Drive, so that a copy survives a fire, a flood or a failed disk at home.

What it does

• It encrypts every file in the house before anything leaves. Google Drive receives only scrambled data that cannot be read without a key kept in the house.
• It reads and writes only the files it has created itself in that Drive. It cannot see or open anything else in the Drive.
• It has one user: the owner of the Drive. It is not offered to anyone else, and there is no account to sign up for.
• It shares nothing with anyone, sells nothing, and has no ads or tracking.
