Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Ente when encrypted storage is the primary requirement and the data type maps to one of its dedicated apps: Photos for photo backup and albums, Locker for documents and credentials, or Auth for two-factor authentication.

Who it is for

  • People who want encrypted cloud photo storage and backup.
  • Users managing documents, credentials or notes in an encrypted vault.
  • People seeking an open-source two-factor authentication application.
  • Developers assessing an AGPL-3.0 application suite with a self-hosting option for Ente Photos.

Documented uses

  • Back up and organize photos in encrypted cloud storage.
  • Share photos privately and collaborate on albums.
  • Store important documents, credentials and notes.
  • Keep two-factor authentication data in an encrypted authenticator app.
  • Review or adapt the open-source clients and server code.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository identifies clients for iOS, Android, F-Droid, web, Linux, macOS and Windows. Ente Photos is described as a paid service with 10GB of free storage; Ente Auth is described as free, and Ente Locker as free for up to 100 items. The repository also describes a self-hosting option for Ente Photos.

  • Choose Photos for photo backup, search, sharing and collaborative albums.
  • Choose Locker when the main data consists of documents, credentials or notes; the repository states that it is available for iOS and Android.
  • Choose Auth for two-factor authentication data rather than general file storage.
  • The monorepo includes both client applications and the server, which is relevant when reviewing the implementation or considering self-hosting Photos.
  • The project uses the AGPL-3.0 licence and identifies Dart as its primary language.
