Frequently Asked Questions
What is Zero-Knowledge architecture?
It ensures that files are encrypted locally on your device. The cloud provider receives only the cipher text, meaning they possess zero mathematical ability to decrypt or read your data.
How does block-level syncing work?
Instead of re-uploading an entire file when a small change is made, the sync engine identifies and uploads only the specific data blocks that were altered, saving massive amounts of bandwidth on large databases or video files.
Why should I care about data sovereignty?
Data sovereignty dictates that digital data is subject to the laws of the country in which it is physically located. Storing data in privacy-respecting jurisdictions (like Switzerland) protects it from arbitrary foreign surveillance subpoenas.
What is the difference between active and archival storage?
Active storage is high-speed and designed for daily syncing and editing. Archival storage is highly durable but slow to retrieve, designed for compliance and long-term backups at a fraction of the cost.
