Hello,
I am new to nextcloud. I have a managed instance via Hetzner storageshare. I use it to sync my phone pictures on the instantupload folders, and for 2 way sinc of my laptop files via the nextcloud client.
My objective is to keep my data secure and private.
I installed the nextcloud end to end app, enabled it on my phone and laptop and saved the mnemonic. I realized, it is written in the doc “Encryption must be actively enabled for folders”. However from my tests, if I do this I can’t see as easily access the files on both my devices, I would always need to type the mnemonic which is not convenient and also I am not sure apps like memories or recognize would still work. I saw there is also the folder encryption for another layer of seurity.
So what is the best way to keep my data private? I saw there was a default security in transit, is that sufficient? Is there some warnings signs to having just that one and keeping the my content on the cloud in clear (aka not encrypted)?
I am also open to any suggestions and advice that could enhance my security on my sharedstorage.
So I imagine that it’s actually enabled by just installing the app, I guess then you just have the default secure encryption in transit offered by nextcloud and hetzner but that particular nextcloud app is not doing anything
