## Software

It's [macOS](https://www.apple.com/macos/) & [iOS](https://www.apple.com/ios/) & [iPadOS](https://www.apple.com/ipados/) & [watchOS](https://www.apple.com/watchos/) all around. The majority of my work is done on macOS. My main web and development server is a droplet on [DigitalOcean](https://m.do.co/c/9882a054acf6) running [Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com), allowing me to work from the iPad, among other things.

### File Storage & Sync

- **Finder & Files**
So simple, yet powerful. I use Finder & the iOS Files app to access all my files from multiple sources: iCloud, Tresorit, SSH servers through [Secure ShellFish](https://secureshellfish.app), local [network drives attached to my Raspberry Pi](/raspberry-pi-file-and-screen-sharing-macos-ios).

I use Finder & the iOS Files app to access all my files from multiple sources: iCloud, SSH servers through [Secure ShellFish](https://secureshellfish.app), local [network drives attached to my Raspberry Pi](/raspberry-pi-file-and-screen-sharing-macos-ios), or version controlled projects in WorkingCopy.

- **[iCloud Drive, 2 TB](https://www.icloud.com)**
I have used Dropbox Pro for many years but it became too clunky and Apple's version turned into what I wanted Dropbox to be. Most of my non-code related files live there and are happily synced.

- **[Tresorit Premium, 1 TB](https://tresorit.com)**
Holds all the personal and sensitive documents. Works like Dropbox or iCloud Drive but with end-to-end encryption with my own private keys, and some nicely paranoid sharing features.

Since [Advanced Data Protection](https://support.apple.com/guide/security/advanced-data-protection-for-icloud-sec973254c5f/web) also replaces [Tresorit](https://tresorit.com) for me.

- **[Scanner Pro](https://readdle.com/scannerpro)**
Listed here because this app on my iPhone makes every piece of paper coming across my desk into a digital file helping me maintain a **paperless office**. Works like a charm with any document in multiple languages making them searchable with OCR. Every scan I do with it produces a high quality black & white PDF file, ready for digital filing. This gives me quick access to every official document I might need to give to someone no matter where I am in the world. Scanned paper documents are then destroyed and put into recycling.

- **[Google Drive](https://www.google.com/drive/) & [Google Docs](https://docs.google.com)**
Only used for work accounts, and only within the browser. It still deeply confuses me and never use it for personal stuff.
