I have been using Skiff for about a year or so and was only satisfied with their email which can forward your Gmail emails and have aliases for free, the calendar app didn’t notify me so it was useless but now it does and it works very well, I could also import my Tutanota calendar very easily. The drive has 10gb for free and can now download all your Google drive in one click and you can use IPFS as storage, this company is really making it easy to get out of Google with a smile.
Probably an ad, but much more subtle if so. The old ones were so blatant. :)
What does it give you that proton or tutanota doesn’t?

What does a whitepaper have to do with crypto?
deleted by creator
Whitepaper is just a different term for a technical documentation[1] and has literally nothing to do with cryptocurrency. Your reasoning in your initial post doesn’t make any sense what so ever. I guarantee most of the companies you mentioned, if not all, published white papers for various topics in their past. I can only repeat myself, white papers have absolutely nothing to do with crypto currency. Just as one example. Check the Signal protocol[2] Wikipedia page and search for whitepaper.
It’s ok to not know what a white paper is but then don’t start your posts with “Looked pretty interesting, until I saw the “read whitepaper” button.”.
That being said, where in the skiff white paper did you find crypto currency? Admittedly I didn’t read all or even most of it but a simple search for “currency”, “blockchain” or even “chain” doesn’t return any results. I really hope you don’t talk about the word “crypto”, cause then you really have to do some reading and educate yourself on the topic.
Thank you, soldier, for sparing me wasting time on crypto bullshit.
Never heard of it, am suspicious.
Also, those icons in the preview image look like an abstracted Peter Griffin.
“Lois, look: I’m icons now! Hehehehehehehehe!”
I want the drugs you are on
Talk to your doctor to see if Imagination™ is right for you!
Is that it’s name? Awesome
IDK, I’ve overdosed on Imagination™ and the lines of reality are just gone now: Maybe it was all just some crazy fever dream.
Fun unrelated fact: It’s is just a contraction of it and is, its would be what you’d use to show ownership (no apostrophe) because English is wacky like that.
Oh, that’s what it’s! I’ve been wondering for a while.
Oh no the radom dude online who speaks another language made a quick mistake. Better make sure to correct him! Why do people always get a boner from grammatics? Its ridiculous! (hehe)
Lol
Looks interesting. The first glance it looks like “Yet another company trying to make Email what it isn’t”, which means breaking all compatibility with existing mechanisms (e.g. IMAP) at cost of getting locked-in into their own ecosystem (unless you pay premium and enable IMAP back like Proton does).
This is why while I want companies like Proton and Tutanota succeed, I don’t use their email products for business purposes.

the day I don’t find a provider with IMAP support is the day I’ll leave email for good. You won’t force me to use your absurdly bloated and full of telemetry web clients or your incompatible encryption.
OpenPGP + NeoMutt has been my email workflow for 10 years now.

I didn’t mean this specific one. I don’t know anything about Skiff other than this post is a sketchy camouflaged ad for them.
If they supported IMAP maybe I would look further, but that’s my very first requisite that they didn’t meet.

You can choose between Skiff storage or IPFS, IPFS is a decentralized file storage system, which means that there is no central authority controlling the system, making it more secure than traditional centralized file storage systems. IPFS uses a number of security features, such as encryption and hashing, to protect files, making it a secure way to store sensitive information.
I don’t know about email encryption except for what they say.
They call copy and paste are called move and duplicate.
As I said their app are not perfect yet but they are improving very fast, what is missing is being fixed as we speak.
there is no central authority controlling the system, making it more secure than traditional centralized file storage systems.
Not really. Maybe more available but almost certainly less secure compared to files just sitting on a single server somewhere in terms of data being accessible to attackers.

I wanted to try this but saw crypto crap. Nope, can’t trust them
Where?
deleted by creator
@whale I wonder if their drive still hosts on IPFS. While most crypto is a crock of shit, IPFS actually seems like a legitimate use case for building out distributed encrypted data storage, kind of like TOR for storage. Kind of a shame they were shooting themselves in the foot for many users by mentioning the buzz words.
Eh, anyway, I’m not trying it.
Apparently people dont know that whitepapers were not invented by Satoshi 😂
this company is really making it easy to get out of Google with a smile.
yet another fake privacy initiative. this post is clearly an ad
I consider marketing something as “for free thinkers” as a huge red flag.
For those who think it is an AD, it isn’t. I just like Skiff so I made a post about it to see what people from the privacy sub think of it, clearly and without much explanation most of you don’t like it. I genuinely thought it was a good company, now I am not sure anymore without knowing why. I would have loved more explainations about why is it so bad.
