SpiderOak overview
SpiderOak is a multi-platform secure online backup, storage, access, and sharing solution engineered for the consumer and small businesses.
Running natively on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux, SpiderOak allows users to create a central storage repository where they can access data from all their SpiderOak devices within the application, or via Web login at SpiderOak.com.
Using an automated approach, SpiderOak immediately backs up and stores any additions, edits, or changes to the back up set. Historical versions of any document can be identified and downloaded by timestamp.
Any folders within a user's SpiderOak account can be selected for sharing in a password protected setting called a 'ShareRoom', and any changes or additions to the shared folders are automatically seen by visitors to the ShareRoom.
Capabilities at a glance:
- True privacy via comprehensive "zero knowledge" encryption. Not even the names of your files or folders are revealed.
- Multi computer, real time: access all files from other machines
- Retains complete historical content of every folder and file
- Easily share folders from any device in ShareRooms w/ RSS feeds
- Massive data de-duplication: extremely space efficient versioning and storage
- Optional command line interface: batch mode, scheduled/scripted operation
- Quality by design: near 100% automated test coverage
- Properly handles OS X resource forks
- ACID compliant, fault tolerant structure eliminates worry of corrupted backups

Version: 7.5.0
Adding to darkwing52's review: There's incoherence going on at SpiderOak. As such, I suggest AVOIDING them at this time. (1) They are using three different names for macOS, including 'MacOS X' and 'MacOS'. That bodes poorly. (2) There is still no ARM build for SpiderOakOne, as it is now called. (3) Their marketing is off in the ozone ranting about their software being 'in space'. OK. But we're on Earth! (4) There hasn't been an update in over FOUR YEARS so far. - - Conclusion: This formerly Mac-centric and Mac-friendly cloud service is out-of-touch with contemporary Macs. Their marketing is a mess. Their attention is clearly elsewhere, not on Mac users. SO, AVOID. (IMHO, of course. Very disappointing).

The current version for Mac is 7.5.0, released February 2019. This is not a confidence builder for the prospective user. I have used SO One for over a decade, and been happy and confident, however, it is now 3 1/2 years since an update. As of today, I still give it 5 stars for performance and function, but my confidence in its future is 1 star.

the real outstanding feature of spideroak is that you can backup and sync any folder on your system. i didnt find any cloud service where this was possible. (if anybody knows another app for this plz respond)
