Filen.io(and others) a useful backup, cloud storage, and sharing tool - biketool - 01-12-2025
Having a cloud "sd card" seems like a cool idea when I can access it from my laptop too, I could also set it to sync my /home and SD card though a network share is all I want for now. I have not used cloud storage before except for linux servers where I could mount via sshfs. Filen.io are all about privacy and e2e encryption but they seem to be home brewing all of the interfaces.
(edit) after buying the 100GB package I now have the extra storage and I also figured out the missing part to get it to mount
./filen_cli --skip-update mount /home/mobian/filen
I am sure I am just tired or something, or the CLI client is broken
https://github.com/FilenCloudDienste/filen-cli/
Code:
./filen-cli-v0.0.27-linux-arm64 mount --skip-update /home/mobian/filensince the filen-cli self-updates it is probably smart to run it without arguments including --skip-update every now and then.
They sometimes have a lifetime 100mb for €30(stackable) so that is pretty cool too,
If anyone wants to play with filen.io there is a free 10gb service available.
<edit>
I tried out the Filen GUI on PPpro, it actually scales pretty well by itself, in landscape it is easy enough to read file and dir names, this is probably what most people will want to use if they want some cloud storage, the website has a .deb for arm64.
