Cryptee vs Plient

Cryptee provides cloud storage for photos and videos alongside an encrypted editor for documents, journals, and notes. It says files are encrypted on the device with AES-256 before upload, using keys the company cannot access. Photos supports hashtags, typo-tolerant search, EXIF data, RAW files, favorites, ghost albums, and encrypted sharing links. The editor handles Markdown, Evernote imports, DOCX, PDF, and ODT files, with encrypted PDF exports, offline use, RTL languages, tables, and KaTeX math. Cryptee says its software and cryptography are open source and that signup requires no personal information. It also says it does not track or log user activity or serve advertisements, and keeps user data on its own infrastructure in Europe. The service runs on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android; its browser-based progressive web app can be installed and used offline. The free plan includes 100 MB. Paid storage begins at 10 GB for €3.00 per month.

Plient is an encrypted file storage and collaboration platform with browser-based office editing, WebDAV, a command-line interface, and an app marketplace. Files are encrypted on the user's device with AES-256-GCM before upload. Its zero-knowledge model derives the master key on that device from a password and salt, and the key is not sent to the server. Collaboration features include shared drives, granular permissions, password-protected links with expiry, and file requests. In the browser, users can co-edit.docx,.xlsx, and.pptx files in real time, with comments, suggestions, and version history. The marketplace lists Google Workspace, OnlyOffice, iDrive E2, Backblaze B2, and AWS S3. The CLI supports file transfers, syncing, and management from scripts and CI pipelines. WebDAV mounting is available on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Plient can be used as managed cloud software or self-hosted with Docker. The Free plan provides 5 GB of encrypted storage for one user; Pro costs $9 a month and Business costs $25 per user / month.
