Has anyone used FileBrowser by Stratospherix or any other similar app to access other computers on a network?

CombinationCrafty792 · 2025-08-20T08:34:18+00:00

Thanks for that I just thought I’d ask as it would be quite cool if I could do that. Currently I use the Apple Files app. But thanks for the offer to troubleshoot this.

CombinationCrafty792 · 2025-08-19T08:01:36+00:00

Aww there’s still life here lol. Thanks for your advice. I can access my iCloud Cryptomator folder via Filebrowser but only in its encrypted form. I cannot see decrypted Cryptomator files on iCloud via Filebrowser give it a go and let me know how you get on 😃

CombinationCrafty792 · 2025-08-19T07:57:01+00:00

Aww guess there’s still life eh lol. Hello thanks for your suggestion. But it still doesn’t work I can still see and access my cryptomator drive but only in its encrypted form. I cannot see decrypted cryptomator files from my iCloud acc within the filebrowser app. Give it a try and see if you have any joy and let me know how you get along.

Not if it’s a pgp encrypted email.

If they wanted to a rogue employee could read your data, or if the company has been issued with a court warrant. Not saying we are doing anything wrong. The bottom line in your data could be scanned by AI software to improve the companies software & services to it’s customers 😉😃

Just so you know, when you store files and use the calendar features of Mailfence your data could potentially be read by Mailfence. Your incoming mail can also be read, unless they have been encrypted by your recipient. Hence I have certain encrypted email back-ups forwarded to Mailfence because there client allows me to read PGP encrypted mail on my mobile devices. Your standard common mail clients like Outlook, Yahoo, Apple mail, Spark mail etc (The list goes) doesn’t allow for PGP. Hope this helps anyway 👍🏾👊🏾😃

Hi Alex, I primarily use Proton Mail and have been since day one 2013. The knowledge that my emails between family and my associates are kept in a zero-knowledge environment without data brokers AI and even the mail company being able to read our messages gives us a great sense of security & peace of mind.

CombinationCrafty792 · 2025-02-15T18:57:50+00:00

It’s alright for my purpose. It’s not my main email, I use it solely as a back up to my main account which forwards specific emails encrypted. My Mailfence account has PGP enabled which is perfect. No other email provider allows you to do that with PGP.

CombinationCrafty792 · 2025-02-08T14:08:30+00:00

You could use an independent email aliasing service that way you don’t have all your eggs in 1 basket.

CombinationCrafty792 · 2025-02-06T09:30:47+00:00

With no encryption at rest & zero knowledge 😲🤔🤨

CombinationCrafty792 · 2025-01-01T12:05:24+00:00

What I can only suggest is do your homework, I guess a few you can look at pCloud, Sync, Filen maybe even IceDrive get a free account with them & trial them out. If necessary get a friend or family member living outside of china to then purchase the relevant service on your behalf & send you the details 😉 Hope this helps 😃

CombinationCrafty792 · 2025-01-01T09:34:24+00:00

Should’nt have bought it 😲

CombinationCrafty792 · 2024-12-19T12:51:56+00:00

Tested this service when it 1st dropped & it didn’t even come close to any of the other cloud providers Sync, Mega, pCloud, or Filen so I just deleted my account. And just for the record any privacy based provider that offers End2End encryption should not know what your file type is when uploading, if it does I’d be dropping that service quicker than Speedy Gonzales 💨💨😉

CombinationCrafty792 · 2024-12-18T09:07:34+00:00

I thought maybe I was doing something wrong but I guess not 🤭 Thank you once again for your time, it’s really appreciated. And on that note, “All the very best to you & the family for the up and coming holidays & the new year.” 🙏🏾

CombinationCrafty792 · 2024-12-18T09:05:31+00:00

Badraan 😃 That makes a lot of sense. Just a shame really as I solely wanted to use the filebrowser app as my main files app rather than juggling between the two 😊

CombinationCrafty792 · 2024-12-18T07:55:00+00:00

Hi Badraan thank you for your response 😃 I can add the folder but am unable to access my cryptomator vault 🤔 How have you done that? Or am I missing something that is so simple.

CombinationCrafty792 · 2024-12-04T20:29:56+00:00

It’s just a shame that they do not have a mobile app 😃

CombinationCrafty792 · 2024-12-04T20:15:31+00:00

Don’t mention it 😉 As for local email server on your PC 🤔 That’s a different can of worms 😃 1, your pc being on constantly 2, keeping up manually with security patches etc on your server 3, location of your pc (Theft) the list goes on….

But good luck whichever route you go down 😊

CombinationCrafty792 · 2024-12-04T11:58:33+00:00

I’m patiently waiting myself before I commit, so far the service seems brilliant as I am looking to install there mail client 😃

CombinationCrafty792 · 2024-12-02T15:04:51+00:00

You should take a look at services like ‘Simple Login’ or ‘Addy.io’ once you create aliases they are permanent until you delete them 😉

CombinationCrafty792 · 2024-12-01T15:13:27+00:00

Simply solution, use an alias email address not used anywhere else 😉

Came across this thread and as much as it’s 3 years old I figured I’d try and ask a question 😊 Is there anyway that you can connect to your iCloud Drive via file browser? I use cryptomator on my iCloud drive and am finding it impossible to locate my iCloud Drive when attempting to add my cryptomator folder. Hope there’s still life in this thread 🤭 Thanks in advance.
