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.

Note2Data

Note2Data turns a photo of text into clean, editable text, right on your phone. Snap a handwritten note, a page from a book, a label, a sign, or a receipt, and get back text you can copy, edit, hear read aloud, organize, and export. Everything runs on-device, with no account, no cloud, and no subscription. HOW IT WORKS • Capture anything with text, using the camera or a photo from your gallery. • Crop and rotate to frame the words. • Tap Transcribe. On-device AI reads the text, handwritten or printed, and returns it as formatted text. • Edit it in place, save it to your library, group related notes, and export. READS HANDWRITING AND PRINT Most scanners only manage neat printed pages. Note2Data also reads handwriting, like notes, journals, and letters, alongside printed text from books, labels, signs, and receipts. PRIVATE BY DESIGN What you capture is personal, so Note2Data keeps it on your device. Recognition runs locally. Your images and text are never uploaded, there is no account, and nothing is shared or sold. Optional, anonymous crash reports help us fix bugs, and they never include your images or text. ONE-TIME SETUP Each language downloads once on first run (around 750 MB for English, Wi-Fi recommended; around 21 MB for Japanese). After that, transcription works fully offline, with no connection needed. FEATURES • Reads handwriting and print: photograph a page, get editable text. • Japanese support: printed Japanese pages, vertical or horizontal, as a small add-on download - handy for book pages and language study. • Read aloud: have any transcription spoken back to you. • Library: save notes, drag to group them, rename, and edit in place. • Export: share your text or save it as a PDF. • Crop and rotate before transcribing for the cleanest read. FREE AND PRO • Free forever: transcribe pages and listen to them read aloud, with a few free imports to try copy and edit. • Pro: a single one-time purchase (no subscription) unlocks unlimited copy and edit, saving to your library, grouping, and export. WHAT IT HANDLES Note2Data reads English text, handwritten or printed, and printed Japanese (vertical or horizontal; furigana is skipped, and handwritten Japanese and decorative lettering are not supported). It is tuned for running prose, such as notes, journals, letters, and book pages, rather than complex layouts, so it does not yet handle math, tables, multi-column pages, or comic and manga panels with sound effects. Clear, well-lit pages read best. English takes a few seconds per page on a modern phone; Japanese is usually done in about a second. For anyone who wants their words back as text, without handing their pages to the cloud.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Note2Data at none against hashcloud's shown. Note2Data also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). hashcloud's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
