Open Source Encrypted Storage Software

Encrypted Storage software protects sensitive files, credentials, and documents from unauthorized access through cryptographic locks. These tools ensure that data remains unreadable to anyone without the correct decryption key, including the server administrator. This type of software serves individuals and teams who need to store private photos, security camera footage, or team secrets. Self-hosting these apps allows you to manage the physical hardware where your encrypted archives reside. This approach removes the need to trust external companies with the keys to your private information.

This page lists 12 open source tools in the Encrypted Storage category. The most popular are Ente, Cryptomator and PrivateBin. Most use the AGPL-3.0 or GPL-3.0 license, and 8 offer an official Docker image.
