Best for end-to-end encrypted storage run by a non-profit
Peergos is end-to-end encrypted storage, sharing and sync run by a non-profit, with the server open source. There is no free hosted plan, macOS cannot yet mount the drive, and there is no iOS app.
Who Peergos is for
- Fits if you want the server to know nothing about your files
- Works for people who want to self-host if they choose
Who Peergos is not for
- Skip it if you want a free hosted plan, as the vendor says there is none
- Not for you if you use an iPhone, as only the browser version works there
- Watch out: macOS cannot mount the drive yet and WebDAV has not landed
- Watch out: prices are in pounds, and monthly billing costs GBP 4 against GBP 3 yearly

Keep Peergos, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Peergos you would be making files kept in step across devices without losing one. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 58 of the 91 other file storage and sync services grade higher. It costs $48.24 a year. Peergos is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- Calendar: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Files kept in step across devices without losing one.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux and Android that stay in step with each other.
- End-to-end encryption done properly.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Peergos’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Peergos?
Peergos is an end-to-end encrypted storage, sharing and sync service run by a non-profit. Its site says file names, sizes, folder structure and the list of people you share with are hidden from the server as well as file contents. Paid hosted plans differ only in storage, and the server software is open source, so you can run it yourself for nothing.
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan on the hosted service; the only no-cost route is running your own server.
- Prices are listed in pounds sterling (£), not dollars.
- On macOS the drive cannot yet be mounted and WebDAV has not landed, according to the download page.
- There is no iOS app listed on the download page; the browser version is the route from an iPhone.
Key features
- Metadata hidden from the server
- The site says file names, sizes, folder layout, modification times and the list of people you share with are not visible to the server, beyond the file contents.
- Folder sync and mounting
- Folders sync in both directions on the desktop apps and Android. The drive can be mounted natively on Windows, Linux and Android, and is reachable over WebDAV.
- Secret links
- Files can be shared by link with an expiry, a password and optional write access.
- Built-in apps
- Calendar, tasks, contacts, document and spreadsheet editors, a PDF editor, a markdown wiki and a media player are listed on every plan.
- Post-quantum sharing
- Sharing uses a hybrid of X25519 and MLKEM-1024, according to the features page, and two independent security audits are said to be published.
