I really like the storj concept - distributed storage, local encryption.
Comes from tahoe-lafs I believe, except you don't need to find 10 buddies.
There is one main reason I don't use it besides web share:
Despite being OSS, uplink-cli is not available in linux distribution
packages, which
- makes me uneasy about stability/maturity of the platform (e.g. do you not provide packages because you don't have a stable API, and if so, should I really rely on you to keep my data?)
- it increases friction - either build from source or manually copy binaries; and you have need to do this on all your machines and servers; and it means no automatic updates
- binaries/packages without trusted update channels may be against corporate/personal policies, and you usually want your storage accessible on all/most of your computers
- if available in non-distribution package repositories (didn't see in quick-start) - it would still create trust issues
Have you considered getting your cli packages in distributions?
If I could just `apt install uplink-cli` or similar, I would already be using it.
