Three differences, each with its limit.

  1. Only you hold the keys

    voidFS will encrypt contents, filenames and folders on your Mac before upload.

    Limit: file sizes, access times and service metadata stay visible.

  2. Sign up without a name, email or ID

    With voidFS, a 12‑word recovery phrase will get you back in. Never share it.

    Limit: if you lose it and every trusted Mac, nobody can restore access, not even us.

  3. Your Mac doesn’t fill up

    voidFS will keep files in the cloud and show them in Finder, without a downloaded copy of opened files.

    Limit: opening files needs a connection. Some apps and macOS can keep their own copies.

  1. Dropbox: “End‑to‑end encryption is available for teams on Business Plus, Advanced, and Enterprise.” “File content is always encrypted, but metadata remains visible in plain text.” The help page says end‑to‑end encryption is not available in the mobile app. Encrypted team folders. Trust.
  2. End‑to‑end only with Advanced Data Protection turned on. Apple’s table lists iCloud Drive as “In transit & on server” under standard protection and “End‑to‑end” with that setting. “All new Apple Accounts require two‑factor authentication.” Recovery uses a device passcode or password, a recovery contact, or a personal recovery key. iCloud data security.
  3. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest with AES256. Client‑side encryption only on Workspace, enabled by an admin. “You must have a Workspace account. Your administrator must enable client‑side encryption.” Google Drive encryption.
  4. Personal Vault is a protected area with a strong authentication method or a second step of identity verification. Microsoft describes BitLocker on a Windows 10 PC and does not describe that as end‑to‑end encryption. It is only available from the web, the mobile app, or a Windows PC. Personal Vault.
  5. Dropbox Basic includes online‑only files. Dropbox Basic FAQ.
  6. OneDrive says online‑only files on Mac require APFS. Files On‑Demand for Mac.

  8. Your own keys only with client‑side encryption on certain Workspace plans, set up by an admin. Checked 17 October 2026. Client‑side encryption.
  9. No client‑side encryption or own keys on personal plans. End‑to‑end only for team folders on Business Plus and up. Checked 17 October 2026. How security works. Encrypted team folders.
  10. Files are encrypted with keys protected by master keys in Azure Key Vault. Checked 17 October 2026. How OneDrive safeguards your data.

A dash means the vendor pages we checked don’t say. It is not a claim that the product lacks it.
