Sharing some of the steps we've taken at ente to reduce the probability of such events:
- All files uploaded to ente are versioned and older versions are available for 60 days from the day you updated them.
- File deletions are performed only as a function of user action. Deleted files are again recoverable for 60 days.
- Two copies of each file are maintained with separate storage providers. Both of these providers offer 11x9 durability.
- For each uploaded file, we compare the number of bytes uploaded from the client to that received on the server and request a reupload in case there is a mismatch (to be replaced with a hash check).
We understand your concerns and will continue to invest in steps that improve data integrity and durability.
