| Which ends do you mean? It supports TLS, so it's E2EE
| (between server and client).

| because they include a Dav bridge[3], but I can also integrate it
| with the GNOME environment because a module for evolution
| exists[4].
|
| Plus, the developer[5] has been genuinely nice and handled all
| support, and billing questions like a champ, in a speedy manner,
| and always in a polite tone.
|
| My only problem with EteSync so far is that sharing an event can
| only be done through the web application right now, so I need to
| switch from calcurse to a browser, share the event, and then come
| back. Minor issue in the grand scheme of things, though.
|
| Well worth the price, in my opinion. Might be one of the few
| services that I do not migrate to a self-hosted instance instead.

| Etesync is awesome. Totally worth the buck. Does one (or two
| things) and does them well. Support is superb.

| Perfect for backing up and syncing contacts for those that don't
| want to give the data to Google etc.
