Hoodik vs PreVeil

Hoodik is encrypted cloud storage that encrypts files on a device before upload. Starter includes 100 GB and Plus includes 500 GB, and both plans allow unlimited users. Users can share files and folders with view or edit permissions and collaborate on markdown notes with version history. Hoodik hashes filenames and search queries on the device, so the server compares fingerprints rather than the words. Its maker says file keys are wrapped using X25519 and ML-KEM-768 and do not reach its servers. Cloud customers can choose EU or US storage regions; the maker says its object storage is designed for 99.999999999% annual durability. Free native apps are available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android, while Windows and Linux users are directed to the web app. Hoodik can also be run with its Docker guide on a home server, Raspberry Pi, NAS, or Linux machine, using S3-compatible storage such as Backblaze B2, Wasabi, AWS S3, or MinIO. On macOS, a local MCP server offers 13 file and note tools to AI clients including Claude Desktop and Cursor. That feature serves the account active and unlocked in the app. Cloud customers can export an archive with a runnable Hoodik copy and encrypted data. Self-hosting is free; cloud plans start at €9/mo.

PreVeil provides end-to-end encrypted email and file sharing for defense and regulated industries. PreVeil Drive stores and shares encrypted files, with controls for viewing, editing, and commenting. Email works with Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail, browsers, and mobile devices; Drive integrates with Windows File Explorer and Mac Finder, and is also available in a browser and iOS and Android apps. PreVeil says data is encrypted on users’ devices and only recipients can decrypt it. It replaces passwords with cryptographic keys and uses Approval Groups to distribute administrative trust among multiple approvers. The company says its platform is designed to support CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, ITAR, DFARS, HIPAA, the FTC Safeguards Rule, and CJIS requirements. Data subject to DFARS, CMMC, or ITAR is stored in AWS GovCloud in the U.S.; other data is stored in AWS Commercial Cloud. A free Basic plan includes 5 GB of encrypted storage. Paid plans include Individual at $25 a month, requiring annual payments, and Business at $30 a month per user, with monthly billing available.
