Minimalist, open source, encrypted Google Photos & Google Docs alternative? We'll see about that!
Today, we're going to take a look at a service that ticks a lot of my boxes for online storage: privacy-focused, encrypted, open source, and very, very minimalist. Let's take a look at Cryptee!

## Photos

Ok, now let's take a look at what this thing can do, and let's start with the photos.

It hides a lot of power under the hood. Once you've uploaded some photos, you can add tags to them, in natural language. For example here, I have added a bunch of pictures of a trip I made to Guadeloupe a while ago. I can type "This is my lame attempt in #Guadeloupe to try and not look like a #tourist", and these hashtags will be intelligently recognized and used in my future searches.

All the tags and the photos you add are encrypted on your device, so Cryptee can't access them at all. This also explains why thumbnails can take a bit to appear if you scroll around like a madman: they're generated on your device as well.

And then, you can search using natural language again, like for example, "pictures I took in guadeloupe in the mornings", and Cryptee will find just that, based on the EXIF tags of the pictures. You can also add hashtags to your search to narrow it down. It's pretty cool.

## Files

The second pillar of Cryptee is the document storage. Once again, it's a very minimalistic experience, with beautiful layout, typography and generally amazing presentation.

If we take a look at the documents, everything is handled through a sidebar on the left: your recent documents, folder navigation, and the ability to create a new document.

Uploading files is just a drag and drop operation that will take a bit of time, as everything has to be encrypted. Encryption happens on your device directly, and the contents and the filenames are both encrypted, so the team at Cryptee can't access any of it.

Once you get some stuff in there, you can browse through your folders and documen
