Within the cloud storage space field, Europe is building secure, ethical software alternatives to big tech softwares. Following last week’s post on pCloud Software, today’s spotlight is on Tresorit, a Swiss-Hungarian cloud storage service offering privacy-first, end-to-end encrypted storage, making it a great alternative to Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and Dropbox.
What is Tresorit?
Tresorit is a file hosting service based in Switzerland and Hungary, designed for individuals and businesses that prioritize security and privacy. It’s available across web, desktop, and mobile platforms. Tresorit is best known for its zero-knowledge encryption, meaning even the company itself cannot access your files. Your data is stored safely under GDPR-compliant frameworks in highly secure data centers in the EU. Furthermore, it complies with European privacy laws, not U.S. surveillance.
Why Choose Tresorit?
- Privacy Built-In: End-to-end encryption by default.
- Zero-Knowledge Architecture: Tresorit is not able to access and decrypt your files, making it a great option for journalists, legal teams, and businesses handling sensitive data.
- Cross-Platform Access: Sync and access files anywhere with secure sharing features.
Tresorit vs. Big Tech
Unlike Google or Dropbox, Tresorit doesn’t scan your files, build ad profiles, or allow third-party tracking. A few built-in services, as Google Docs or Sheets, are not present in Tresorit, however the software outperforms the previously mentioned options when it comes to data protection, encryption standards, and transparency.
