What Nest is

Nest is private cloud storage and encrypted file sharing for creators, teams, and people storing personal videos, documents, or projects. It creates encrypted links with security keys that users can revoke, and collaboration-folder invitations give invitees the key to that folder. Nest says file names, folder names, and contents are encrypted on the user's device using XChaCha20-Poly1305, with keys derived through Argon2id. Files are divided into encrypted chunks and stored redundantly on the distributed Obsideo network. The service handles encrypted file sizes, timestamps, and integrity hashes. Nest supports any file type, although previews may differ; downloads work. Its documentation describes a REST API with endpoint, request-schema, and authentication references. A free plan includes 2GB of storage and unlimited sharing. Pro costs $29.99 a year for 100GB, while Max costs $129.99 a year for 500GB; both include unlimited file sharing. Pro and Max offer a 7-day trial. Nest warns that lost credentials can make data unrecoverable if account recovery was not configured, and availability on independent storage providers is not guaranteed indefinitely.

Who it suits

Nest may suit people or teams who want encrypted storage, revocable share links, or folder collaboration. Its free plan offers 2GB, while paid plans provide 100GB or 500GB.
