infolio glossary for knowledge management, privacy, and sync
These definition pages explain concepts such as personal knowledge bases, local-first notes, end-to-end encryption, and object storage sync in the infolio context.
Personal knowledge base
A personal knowledge base is a long-term system for storing, organizing, finding, and reusing personal notes, project records, reference material, and private information.
Local-first
Local-first means content becomes usable and editable on the user device first. Cloud sync moves data across devices but is not the only place where the data exists.
End-to-end encryption
End-to-end encryption means sensitive content is encrypted before it leaves the device, so transport and storage layers should not see readable plaintext.
Encrypted vault
An encrypted vault is a protected space inside a personal knowledge base for sensitive records that should not live beside ordinary documents.
Object storage sync
Object storage sync means application data is synchronized through a cloud object storage service such as AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Aliyun OSS, Tencent COS, or Azure Blob.
Bring your own storage
Bring your own storage means users choose and manage the storage layer used for sync or backup instead of relying only on the application vendor cloud.
Desktop workspace
A desktop workspace is a visible work surface for active documents, whiteboards, widgets, windows, and project entry points.
Multi-cloud sync
Multi-cloud sync means an app supports multiple sync backends so users can choose based on convenience, ecosystem, cost, region, and data boundary.
Why glossary pages matter
Many people understand concepts before deciding whether a tool fits. Glossary pages connect definitions, product context, and supporting guides so you can keep going.
