What is Cryptee?
Cryptee is an encrypted service for storing photos and videos and writing documents, notes and journals. Files are encrypted on your device with AES-256 before they leave it, using a key Cryptee says it does not have. It runs in any web browser and can be installed as a progressive web app on macOS, iOS, ChromeOS, Windows, Android and Linux. The free plan includes 100 MB of storage, and paid plans start at 10 GB for €3 a month. Cryptee is based in Tallinn, Estonia.
Pros: what Cryptee does well
- Files encrypted on your device before upload
- Photos and documents in one private space
- Installs as an app from the browser
Cons: where it falls short
- Only 100 MB of free storage
- Photo libraries quickly need a paid plan
Who Cryptee is for
People who want a private place for journals, notes and a few photos.
Who can skip it
People who need lots of free cloud storage.
