Ente is an end-to-end encrypted photo and file storage service where only you hold the decryption keys — the company genuinely cannot read your files even if ordered to; no cookies, no usage analytics, biometric processing happens on-device, and all 19 third-party providers are named; the main caveats are US/Delaware incorporation, PostHog analytics on the website, and some US-based storage and email infrastructure.
