SpiderOak One Review: Features, Pricing & Alternatives

Overview

SpiderOak One Backup is a backup and sync service from SpiderOak, which says it has been protecting data since 2007 and serves users in 77 countries^[13]. Its main distinguishing feature is client-side, no-knowledge encryption: files are encrypted on the device before upload, keys remain with the user, and the company states that it cannot read files, view metadata or access passwords^[13]. Every plan allows an unlimited number of devices across Windows, macOS and Linux, and plans are priced by capacity per user, from 150 GB to 5 TB^[13]. A 21-day free trial is available on every plan without payment details^[13]. The privacy model has practical consequences: because the provider cannot read the data, it cannot reset a lost password or recover files for the user, and server-side features such as content search or previews are limited. The vendor’s privacy claims appear on its own page without links to independent audits or certifications, which buyers in regulated sectors may need to request directly^[13]. The service has moved to the spideroak.one domain; the former product address on spideroak.com redirects there.
