Tahoe-LAFS
The Least-Authority File Store
Tahoe-LAFS (The Least-Authority File Store) is a free and open-source distributed file storage system designed with strong security and privacy properties. It allows users to store files across multiple servers such that no single server needs to be trusted with the data. The project is community-driven and supported by volunteers, sponsors, and commercial services.
Files are encrypted and split across multiple storage nodes so that no individual server has enough information to read or compromise the data.
