Storing your photos securely, encrypted and in a completely free online storage service is definitely interesting. With these services, you can access your photos from anywhere and on any device, using the Blockstack technology, which is widely used in the world of cryptocurrencies.
Blockstack is the first implementation of a decentralized DNS system backed by a blockchain database. It combines DNS functionality with public key infrastructure and is mainly intended to be used by new blockchain applications.
Encrypt My Photos
Encrypt My Photos is a very simple web page that is based on blockchain technology to upload photos from your computer. The first thing you need to do is create an account on Blockstack and then log in from the web interface. Remember that all the information you upload to the platform is encrypted. When you upload the photos, you'll see that each one has a unique link (Base64 encoded format). You can upload and download photos with drag and drop (it does not support batch actions).
Block Photos
Block Photos is a web page for storing photos based on blockchain. The platform uses part of Blockstack for security, which requires you to have a Blockstack account to store your photos on Block Photos. The operation is very similar to the previous option. The only difference is that the tool has a program for Android devices, so you can upload photos from your mobile.
Encrypto
Encrypto is not an online service like the previous two options. The platform encrypts your photos before uploading them, so you don't have to worry if you store them on an encrypted server. Encrypto creates a single encrypted file from a folder of photos, so you can upload it to any online service without worrying about the security of the backup. The program is available for Windows and Mac OS X.
Now you can securely store your photos in the cloud with the three services mentioned. Although the first two environments are similar, if you need a different option to encrypt your photos before uploading them to your usual server (own server, Drive, or Dropbox), Encrypto is a very good method.
