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. ## Good for - People who want encrypted storage that also protects file names and sharing relationships - Anyone who wants the option to host their own server later - Users who prefer a non-profit paid by subscribers over a free tier ## 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026.

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. - You could make: Calendar: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Files kept in step across devices without losing one. - You could not: Storing and serving files for other people. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux and Android that stay in step with each other. - You could not: End-to-end encryption done properly. - You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
