SpiderOak One Apple Silicon Beta Testing Guide

Thank you for helping beta test the SpiderOak ONE application on Apple Silicon Macs. As a reminder, this is only for Mac computers with an M series chip. (Not sure if that's you? Read this.) 

You can download the installer here. After downloading, unzip and you'll have a .pkg file to install with.

This is a beta version. Right now, the system Gatekeeper will throw an error like this one when you try to run the installer.

To work around it, please go to Settings -> Privacy and Security, scroll to the bottom of the menu, and press the Open Anyway button next to the warning.

This will allow the installer to launch and installation to complete.

How to Generate a SHA-256 Checksum on macOS

Use this guide to create a SHA-256 checksum for the file SpiderOakONE-osx-silicon.pkg. This checksum ensures the file’s integrity and verifies it hasn’t been tampered with.

Steps:

  1. Open Terminal:
    • Launch the Terminal app. You can find it in Applications > Utilities or search for it using Spotlight (Cmd + Space and type “Terminal”).
  2. Navigate to the File’s Location:
    • If the file isn’t in your default directory (e.g., Downloads), navigate to its folder. For example: cd /path/to/your/file Replace /path/to/your/file with the folder where the .pkg file is stored. For example, if it’s in your Downloads folder: cd ~/Downloads
  3. Generate the SHA-256 Checksum:
    • Run the following command in the terminal: 
      shasum -a 256 SpiderOakONE-osx-silicon.pkg
    • This command calculates the SHA-256 hash for the file.

View the Output:

    • The command will output a long string (the SHA-256 checksum) followed by the file name: 
      373c1b6db012cc4da60bd72d3fc35b709f3bd0d81d4c3d349b6d455846e18d4b  SpiderOakONE-osx-silicon.pkg
  1. Compare or Save the Checksum:
    • Compare the checksum with the one provided by the source to verify integrity.
  2. To save the output for future reference, redirect it to a file: 
    shasum -a 256 SpiderOakONE-osx-silicon.pkg > checksum.txt
  3. The checksum will be saved in a file named checksum.txt in the same folder.

Compare the two checksums

If they match exactly, the file is valid and untampered. If they don’t match, the file may be corrupted or compromised—do not use it.
