Hoodik review
A privacy-focused storage service with zero-knowledge encryption and self-hosting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Hoodik is end-to-end encrypted cloud storage for individuals, families and teams that want managed hosting or the option to run their own instance. Files are encrypted on the user's device before upload, and the provider stores ciphertext. Access is available through the web, macOS, iOS and Android apps, while self-hosting is supported through Docker. The feature set includes encrypted file and folder sharing, viewer and editor permissions, privacy-preserving file-name search, offline access, automatic photo backup, local previews and Markdown notes with version history.
The published plans show a free plan alongside a 14-day free trial. The Starter plan costs EUR 9 per month or EUR 90 per year and includes 100 GB of encrypted storage, a dedicated encrypted instance, EU or US region selection, iOS, Android and macOS apps, and full export to self-hosting. Plus costs EUR 19 per month or EUR 190 per year for 500 GB, with the same listed plan features. These options make Hoodik suitable for buyers who want a managed service now while retaining a clear route to self-hosting later.
Privacy and deployment flexibility are the main reasons to choose Hoodik. Two-factor authentication, client-side encryption, permissioned sharing and full instance export support a storage model focused on control. The platform also includes an MCP integration through the Mac app, and its open-source positioning may suit teams that prefer a self-hosted option. Choose Hoodik if encrypted storage, regional hosting choice and migration flexibility matter more than a broad integration catalog. Buyers seeking more than the listed MCP integration, or storage beyond the available 100 GB and 500 GB plans, should consider an alternative.
