Backup Desktop to Cloud
Your desktop is often the central hub for your most active files, projects, and shortcuts. Choosing to backup desktop to cloud ensures that a hard drive failure won't wipe out your current workspace. With QuixiCloud, you can backup your desktop to the cloud with absolute zero friction.
Why QuixiCloud for Desktop Backups?
When you backup your desktop to the cloud using traditional Electron-based apps, you'll likely notice your system fans spinning up. QuixiCloud is different. Built in Rust and Tauri, our app idles at just 20-40MB of RAM. It securely mirrors your desktop in the background while you work, utilizing multi-part parallel chunked uploads via Tokio for maximum speed.
Files On-Demand
Because we leverage the Windows Cloud Files API (cfapi), any desktop files that are safely in the cloud but not currently needed can be turned into 0 KB placeholder files. Right-click any clutter on your desktop and select "Free up space" to keep your visual workspace tidy without actually deleting the file from your cloud backup.
End-to-End Security
Your desktop files often contain sensitive information. QuixiCloud processes everything through a client-side encryption pipeline (AES-CTR, SHA-256) and stores metadata locally in an encrypted SQLCipher database.
