✨ DasDing at a glance
A program for your computer that connects your own storage in Switzerland with many useful tools.
What it does for you
- Your files are kept safe and reachable from any device – without Google, Apple or Microsoft.
- Your passwords and confidential documents are encrypted.
- You need fewer separate programs: backup, vault, chat, software installation and help are all in one program.
Who it is for: Everyone who wants to know what DasDing contains.
Most people have their photos somewhere at Google or Apple, their passwords on slips of paper or in the browser, important documents unbacked-up on a laptop – and when the computer acts up, they call someone who knows about it. DasDing brings all this to one place – and sets it up so that the safe option is the easy one.
What DasDing is
DasDing is a program for Windows and Linux (and an app for Android). It connects to your personal storage on our servers in Switzerland. Compare it to a safe-deposit box at the bank that you can fill and empty from home – and that also brings a few handy tools.
