Kagi Drive cloud storage

brner69420

Add a online cloud storage feature. Kagi has many products equivalent to google products (see: search, translate, maps, chatbot), with cloud storage drive being a notable omission.

Differentiating features for Kagi could be encrypted files, support for privacy pass to anonymously upload files, etc.

This is really just a web ui project (e.g. file browser, access management, universal document previewer) as the storage itself could be as simple as reselling Cloudflare R2. This aligns nicely with Kagi's talent base.

Storing files, syncing photo libraries from their phone, storing encrypted documents, sharing files anonymously.
Logged in users could use Kagi search to search in their drive as well.

This would align with the talk of Kagi email but I'm not sure if those are actually differentiating features.

>Encrypted files, syncing photo libraries from phone
These are both provided by Proton, who does it very well and are pretty much synonymous for a lot of people with encrypted storage.
>Anonymously upload files
This could be interesting but is also offered by many, searching on Kagi brings up 5 that I've heard of before and know to be good. Anonymous filesharing also brings the need for a moderation team for things like CP/IP infringements; and I'd rather resources go to more differentiated features/bettering search.

I like the idea of a searchable document database, especially an integration with Assistant, but idk if a full blown cloud drive is necessary.

I also agree with this concern. Given that Kagi is a US-based company, it's directly impacted by DMCA.

No, please don't. Stick with what you are really good at. No need to copy what others are already offering (like Proton or filen.io). Please focus on Kagi Search and all the other small gems you are already working on. They are what make Kagi stand out. Focus on improving them.

Like nichu said, I think Kagi is already spread too thinly with AI, Maps, Search, Translate as it is... Even Search IMO has been receiving subpar support with the widely talked widget refactor never coming out (https://kagifeedback.org/d/4524-state-of-widget-refactors-olympic-medal-table)

So like the old cliche says "jack of all trades, master of none", I'd rather keep subscribing to both Proton and Kagi to enjoy the best that each can offer.

Hey. Thanks for the suggestion! Kagi Drive is not part of our current plans, but it could be an interesting project for our Labs team to explore next year 🙂
