It is a cross-platform desktop app that sync local files to your private AWS S3 bucket. AWS S3 is commercial-use cloud storage (object store) that provides end-to-end encryption, makes data stored inaccessible to cloud providers.
No one should be allowed to snoop into our privacy. I appreciate if you could give this project a ⭐ star ⭐ so it can reach more privacy-savvy audience like you.

Private File Saver is not a cloud storage service, it is merely a tool that helps synchronising local files to AWS S3 buckets. I personally don't trust conventional consumer cloud storage as much. I prefer storage solution with more granular control (encryption, access control, etc).
With AWS S3, all files can be encrypted from end-to-end, making sure that your files are not accessible by any parties other than yourself.
Files (objects) stored in S3 buckets are automatically replicated into multiple facilities in an AWS region. AWS ensures 11-9s for its data durability over a given year.

Private File Saver is built using PyWebView + Vue.js, packaged with PyInstaller.
The core logic is implemented in Python, while the presentation layer is in Vue.js, glued with PyWebView.
Use md5sum: Private File Saver generates md5sum for all files and added it as metadata to the s3 object. The core logic compares md5sum from local files and remotely to determine if local file has changed.
