With hashcloud – your new cloud storage - you can easily share files using #hashtags. Simply come up with a new #hashtag and share it with friends or colleagues. Anyone who knows this #hashtag can then upload files to it and download files from other users. This makes hashcloud perfect for exchanging files at university, at work, among friends, or within the family. Hashcloud is a cloud storage service designed specifically for easy file sharing. You no longer need to ask for contact information from people you want to collaborate with. Nor do you need to create complicated and confusing links to send to these individuals. With hashcloud, you simply come up with a suitable #hashtag that best describes your group work or file directory. The involved parties can easily remember this #hashtag and enter it into their app. The cloud storage is completely hosted in Germany. All files are stored on German servers and are thus subject to GDPR. So, you don't have to worry about your files falling into the wrong hands. Also, a #hashtag acts like a password. The more difficult and unique your #hashtag is, the less likely someone will access your files. Conversely, you can also create open #hashtags, for example, if you want to share files with as many users as possible. However, if you want to be completely secure, simply add a password to your #hashtag. You must be an admin or the creator of the #hashtag to do this. Other users can only join the #hashtag if they also know your chosen password. So, your files are always protected in hashcloud storage. Here's a list of all features: + File sharing via #hashtags – Avoid cumbersome links and share your files using easy-to-remember #hashtags + Access to all files (free and without registration/login) at www.hash.cloud + All files and user data are stored on German servers and are subject to GDPR + Password protection for extremely sensitive files + Available as an iOS and web app (www.hash.cloud) + Upload up to 10 files simultaneously Accessing files is completely free. Only for uploading new files, you need to purchase a quota. You can test the platform with up to 1GB of storage for uploading files. If you need more storage, please consider upgrading to hashcloud+ with 1,000GB of storage. For more information, visit www.hash.cloud. For questions and suggestions, we are available at help@hash.cloud at any time.

Phones down. Together. Crayp is a focus app you do with friends. Everyone holds a button, and once you're all holding, your phones lock. They stay locked until you all want out, so nobody can bail without the rest of the group going with them. We mostly use it for work sessions at coffee shops, dinners, weekend hikes, and the kind of evening where you say 'no phones tonight' and someone caves fifteen minutes in. The hard part of going phone-free isn't the first ten minutes. It's the moment one person checks Instagram and it gives everyone else permission to do the same. Crayp closes that gap. How it works: 1. Add a few friends. 2. Start a session. 3. Hold the button. Once everyone in the session is also holding, every other app on every phone gets blocked. 4. If someone needs a break, they request one and the rest of the crew has to hold together to agree. You get five minutes, then it's back on. 5. Hold to unlock when you're done. Your streak ticks up. A few things worth knowing: It runs in real time. You see your crew's hold status the second they start, so it actually feels like a thing you're doing together instead of a checklist. Breaks are unanimous. You can't sneak one — the whole crew has to agree. There's a Live Activity on your lock screen and Dynamic Island so you can glance and see phones are still down across the group. Phone numbers and contacts get hashed on your device before they ever leave it. We never see who you know. That's pretty much the whole app. Add a couple friends and try it once.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Crayp at none against hashcloud's 10. Crayp also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days). hashcloud's advantage is iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
