[article/app] Peergos: An Open-Source Google Drive Alternative That You Can Self-Host
From Devi Garcia · Apr 01, 2022
Peergos is not just an ordinary alternative to Google Drive. It is much more than just a private web storage platform.
With Peergos, you get an end-to-end encrypted private webspace built on top of IPFS protocol (peer-to-peer).
The use of such a protocol makes it a decentralized storage platform which is resistant to censorship.
Not just limited to its security/privacy, you also get the ability to socialize with your friends in the platform using the newsfeed.
For instance, you upload photos and share them with your friends, other users (your friends) can see them in their newsfeed and interact just like a social media platform.
You also get to add to-do tasks, organize a calendar, and share it with collaborators/friends as required.
In other words, you can also consider Peergos as a Nextcloud replacement to some extent.
You can opt to self-host Peergos or opt for their cloud offering starts for free (200 MB storage) and can be upgraded to 50 GB for £5 /month or 500 GB for £25 /month.
Let me highlight some of the key features that you get with Peergos.
