ente Photos (Ente)

ente Photos is an end-to-end encrypted photo storage and sharing service founded in India. The product was designed to provide a privacy-centric alternative to mainstream cloud storage solutions, ensuring that only the user has access to their media files. The software is developed by a team based primarily in India, but as a digital cloud-based service, its infrastructure and delivery are distributed across multiple global data center locations.

The brand is owned and operated by Ente IO, a specialized technology firm focused on building secure, open-source privacy tools. While it serves a global user base, the company remains headquartered in India, where the original development and conceptualization of the zero-knowledge architecture took place.
