About Hoodik Cloud
Hoodik Cloud is an end-to-end encrypted cloud drive designed for users who prioritize privacy and data ownership. Rather than pooling users together on a generic multi-tenant architecture, Hoodik Cloud provisions your own dedicated server instance complete with its own isolated database and storage bucket.
Security is baked directly into the client-side experience. Files, file names, notes, and even search queries are encrypted locally on your device before they ever reach the cloud. Consequently, the server only ever holds ciphertext, ensuring that your data remains strictly confidential. Users can select between EU and US hosting regions during signup and even bring their own custom domains.
To ensure seamless cross-device management, Hoodik Cloud provides free companion applications for iOS, Android, and macOS. Furthermore, the platform offers total data portability: if you ever decide to leave the managed cloud, an export option gives you a fully runnable self-hosted copy of your environment. The server code is openly viewable on GitHub under the CC BY-NC 4.0 source-available license.
