It is a broad topic, there are many solutions, and implementations, often targeting the advanced user, or even the expert.
Encryption made easy Įncryption might sound daunting to the everyday user, and rightly so. Keeping your own files in your own cloud account is undoubtedly a better solution, but it still does not alleviate the problem of storing plain files on other people's computers (which is what servers, and the whole "cloud" really are.) To be reasonably safe, the best bet is to encrypt your data, before sending it off over the Internet. With the help of third party cloud storage providers, such as Dropbox or Google Drive, you can also easily keep your notes in sync. Its capable RichText (HTML) and MarkDown editors and previewers can easily replace proprietary software, the plain, flat-file storage paradigm allows total control, and unrestricted access. TagSpaces had long been offering an alternative, self-hosted note-taking solution. With such vendor-locked, proprietary services, you do not own your own data, and have no control over its storage, meaning access to your own notes might be severely limited at any time, as it happened just recently. Even though the cloud-crazed hype is trying to convince us otherwise, with all the marketing tools at its disposal, keeping your private data in the cloud, and especially via vendor-locked solutions such as Evernote, had never been a good idea. Evernote's recent change in its pricing plans, restricting non-paying users to only two machines, have been an eye-opener to many.
