But as E2E seems more experimentell than established, I would take care of the data you want to sync Will I risk anything concerning my unencrypted data which already resides on the server (and shall stay unencrypted)?īesides some other bugs, I have not seen problems with other data than in encrypted folders. Be aware that E2E is only an add-on to nextcloud and not the standardway of transferring data. If you can wait: it will be the thing that is needed for cloud sync!ĭoes the standard desktop client build version 2.5.2 have E2EE enabled and in a usable state? If you need it now - look for something else. But finding out that is still more something that is in development will cost you some time. If you have only one folder it seems to work with the actual server/client/app combination. Is E2EE in NextCloud actually usable nowadays, or still not yet?

Anyone remembers the guest functionality that was advertised but never delivered? Or the many problems with the groupfolder implementation? The latter was used by a bigger NGO in which I volunteer and lead to loud critic by users of which some loudly wanted that we migrate to a “more professional product” (not my words) like Office365 oder Google. I really like Nextcloud and the people behind it, but policies to advertise half baked products don’t help to build a reputation for stability especially since this happens quite often. I just saw a product presentation where Frank Karlitscheck mentioned E2EE without any further comment to a (very) buggy alpha state. The fact that the E2EE feature is mentionend in every second product presentation doesn’t help to show that alpha in this case means that even a proper encryption can not be assured. “Testing” can mean a lot as can alpha since everyone in open source knows a product in “alpha state” which is quite stable and used. The only thing is that it’s rather unfortunate that it still is like that.Īnd maybe the proud ad for E2EE at should be taken down until E2EE actually is a usable feature… Well, in a sense it already is - the E2E app is described asĮnd-to-end encryption is still in alpha state, don’t use this in production and only with test data!
