SpiderOak Plans for 2014 & Updates

SpiderOak has a great post on their blog outlining what to expect from them in 2014. It is only part one so there will be more interesting tidbits from them to come. If you have the time read through the SpiderOak blog post.

Here is a summary of what we can expect from them in the coming year:

• Desktop client optimization.
• Two fact authentication.
• Signed binary downloads.
• Pricing changes and other options.
• Possible support for FreeNAS.
• Expect SpiderOak to become open source.
• Point in time recovery.
• Secure communication (email).
• Upload to Hive on mobile apps and along with that photo upload on Android.
• Better support.
• Better web portal.

Not only is SpiderOak laying out what they plan to do in 2014 they have also recently released version 5.1.1 of the desktop app and version 2.9.0 for iOS & Android mobile clients. I have not had a chance to try any of the new apps yet but hope to find some time this weekend to update and try them all out.

SpiderOak also upgraded their web interface. It is a refreshing change from the previous web interface. Also, remember to preserve zero-knowledge you should not use the web interface. The new web interface is nicer and easier to use but really does not provide any additional functionality than it did previously.

I am looking forward to reading part 2 from SpiderOak CEO Ethan Oberman of what we can expect to see from them in 2014.
