Thanks! They claim to have zero knowledge and E2EE . . . does End 2 End Encryption mean that my data is encrypted “in transit” as well as “at rest?” Was never quite clear on that.
Just in case, I wrote a little more in details about my impression, what I like and don’t like, on my blog (ignore the beginning of the post if you’re only interested in Filen itself) ;)
E2EE is only in-transit. They are the other end, so it can be decrypted there.
But they also say it’s zero-knowledge, so it’s more than E2EE. They take the encrypted stream and write it directly to disk. Claiming E2EE is probably not what they wanted to convey.

that’s how I understand it.
Data is encrypted during transfer and also on their cloud, using a key only you have access to.
