Varsto: encrypted sync on storage you control
Varsto is an alpha file-sync and backup app that encrypts files on your devices and stores them on storage you choose, including disks, NAS shares, S3-compatible buckets, or rclone remotes.
- For
- People syncing files across their own devices and storage
- Worth noticing
- Cold storage and archive classes are written but not read without confirmation; the project also warns that its cryptography has not been independently audited.
Field notes
The described sync process uses content-defined chunks and a signed, encrypted ledger to record where blocks are stored; the site says conflicts resolve deterministically, with concurrent edits retaining both versions. It lists S3-compatible services and rclone remotes alongside local storage, and says cold archive classes are written but not read without confirmation. The project cautions users to keep separate backups and verify restores.
