}}SpiderOak is a US-based collaboration tool, online backup and file hosting service that allows users to access, synchronize and share data using a cloud-based server,[1][2] offered by a company of the same name. SpiderOak is accessible through an app for Windows, Mac and Linux computer platforms, and Android, N900 Maemo and iOS mobile platforms.[3]

According to SpiderOak, the software uses encrypted cloud storage and client-side encryption key creation, so SpiderOak employees cannot access users' information. SpiderOak distinguishes itself from its competition in provision of encryption,[4] in provision for syncing files and folders across multiple devices, and in automatic de-duplication of data.[5]

Some components of SpiderOak are open-source, and as early as 2009 the company announced their intent for the client to be fully open-source in the future.[6] {{As of|2016}}, SpiderOak ONE's source code is only available for mobile platforms, with no current plans to open source the desktop client.[7] SpiderOak's password manager Encryptr is open source; the source code for its group messaging application Semaphor is published to allow auditing.[8][9]

In a July 2014 interview, former NSA contractor Edward Snowden recommended SpiderOak over Dropbox, citing its better protection against government surveillance.[10]

History

SpiderOak was founded in 2007 by Ethan Oberman and Alan Fairless as an encrypted private backup program.[11] In 2013, SpiderOak began developing the Crypton framework, "a JavaScript framework for building applications where the server doesn't know the contents it's storing on behalf of users."[12] Crypton is an open-source project allowing developers to easily add encryption security to mobile applications.[13] By mid-2014, SpiderOak neared 1 million users.{{cn|date=October 2017}}

SpiderOak is headquartered in Chicago and currently{{When?|date=October 2017}} employs 42 staff, headed by CEO Alan Fairless. SpiderOak has offices in Chicago and Kansas City, and hires remote employees inside and outside of the US.[14][15]

In February 2017, SpiderOak discontinued using the phrase "zero knowledge" to describe their service following public criticism that the phrase conflicted with the mechanism behind cryptographic zero-knowledge proofs. SpiderOak adopted the phrase "no knowledge" for their marketing.[16]

On August 1, 2018, the warrant canary on their website briefly vanished, followed by some system downtime. It was then replaced by a transparency report. Five days later, the canary was re-signed using GPG encryption. By August 9, Spideroak had also updated their transparency report, making a statement concerning the canary.[17][18] It is impossible to tell if the change was internally driven or canary was tripped and the company has been compelled by court order to hide the fact. [19]

Main features

  • All data accessible in one de-duplicated location
  • Configurable multi-platform synchronization
  • Preserve all historical versions and deleted files
  • Share folders in web ShareRooms with RSS notifications[3]
  • Retrieve files from any internet-connected device
  • Claimed "no knowledge" data encryption if you only use the desktop client, that is, no sharing, web-access, or mobile access.[20] This claim, however, cannot be confirmed due to the client being closed source[21]
  • Unlimited devices[22]
  • A layered approach to encryption, using a combination of 2048-bit RSA and 256-bit AES[6]
