FAQs
Homecloud is designed for security. It has multiple protection layers built in to protect your privacy and freedom:
Network security:
To prevent unauthorised network access, Homecloud, by default, will only be accessible either over your local Wi-Fi or if enabled over a VPN. This limits attack surface significantly.
- Firewall: Homecloud has built in and hardened network and app firewall to protect against known threats.
- SSL: All network traffic is encrypted both by VPN as well as TLS (app level).
End to End Encryption (E2E):
Sensitive data like Passwords and Notes are E2E encrypted. So, even if your device is in wrong hands, your data is not. No backdoors.
Data durability:
Homecloud is built on high performance and durable Solid State Disks(SSDs). SSDs are built to last for decades as there are no moving parts (unlike hard disks). You can further safeguard data with one click backup of data to external USB disks. Just plug-in USB disk to Homecloud and take backup of your data.
There are 2 options:
- Plug-in external USB disks (up-to 4) and access them as network drive to store more data.
- We offer ship-in upgrades from 1 TB to 2 TB. Ship us your Homecloud and we will upgrade storage. Currently 2 TB is max we are supporting. This is expected to increase in coming months.
There are 2 type of software updates:

App updates are provided by opensource app project community. As an when they are released Homecloud will automatically (if you have enabled) update the app backends. App front end on your access devices are updated by your device app stores (Google Play, App store).
There are many:
- Your data resides with you in your control.

Although we use high quality hardware (Raspberry Pi 5 with durable SSD storage) things still can go wrong. We can replace hardware (if under warranty) but for data we highly recommend to keep data backup on a USB drive. Homecloud enables you to take data backups quickly and easily. So do follow best practices for backup.
