MeshHold vs Scramble Cloud

MeshHold is a decentralized private cloud and mesh network that runs as a single Go binary, with self-hosted deployment and data kept on user-owned hardware. Its distributed storage replicates files, keeps versions, supports lazy deletion, and exposes an S3-compatible API. The mesh provides multi-hop routing, system VPN access, and forward or reverse TCP and UDP tunnels. People on different nodes can co-edit OpenDocument text files and spreadsheets, including across a local network without internet access. Integrations described by the maker include Nextcloud, Immich, Mastodon, and PeerTube, plus federated sharing with Nextcloud and ownCloud through Open Cloud Mesh. MeshHold can provide remote access to Claude Code, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI, with per-instance state and MCP approval. The maker describes three encryption layers, service-specific content keys, and forward secrecy for Noise handshakes. Community Edition costs nothing, with no artificial limits on nodes, users, vaults, or replication factor. It runs on Android, Linux, Windows, and the web, with API and self-hosted options.

Scramble Cloud is encrypted cloud storage for teams and individuals storing work documents, backups, images, and videos. It uses zero-knowledge, end-to-end encryption with AES 256-bit encryption, and stores files in ISO 27001-certified data centers in Germany, with redundancy in Europe. Files can be shared in encrypted form through private links or with other Scramble users; groups and file or member permissions support team access management. The service also supports encrypted video streaming. Integrations cover Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and Office 365, and its Teams plugin automatically stores uploaded data for later retrieval. Users can access files in a browser without installing software, or use beta desktop clients for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The desktop client can expose storage through WebDAV for network-drive mounting or Rclone. The Free plan provides one user with 10 GB, unlimited file size, bandwidth, and file links. Paid options include individual and team tiers, while the site says data traffic is free.
