Cloud Storage

  • Can anyone recommend a Cloud storage service preferably in the EU.

    I’ve had a good look on reddit, there seems to be a lot of choice, many aren’t end to end encrypted for example storing photos this feels like a must from a privacy perspective, I know a lot say self host but I’d have no idea where to start.

    Currently using zeitkapsl for my photo’s, they are an Austrian based company.

    I have the Proton suite, which includes a VPN, mail, drive etc. Realistically I’m seeking to only use a few of Proton’s products as I don’t want to rely on one service incase I lose my data etc.

    There’s a good website here with alternatives - https://euroalternative.eu

    & https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1jspnlb/reliable_cloud_storage_that_i_can_migrate_to_and/

    Thank you!

  • For EU-based, end-to-end encrypted cloud storage, here are the strongest options beyond what you’re already using:

    Tresorit (Switzerland) : Probably the gold standard for E2EE. Zero-knowledge, Swiss/EU data residency, excellent for both file sync and secure sharing. More expensive than competitors but very polished and audited.

    Filen (Germany) : Zero-knowledge E2EE by default, generous free tier (10GB), very competitive pricing on paid plans, and lifetime plans available. Open-source clients. Popular on the privacy subreddits as a Proton Drive alternative.

    Internxt (Spain) : Open-source, zero-knowledge E2EE, GDPR-based. Offers storage plus a few extra privacy tools. Lifetime plans available. Younger company, so weigh that against the price.

    pCloud (Switzerland, registered in EU) : Massive caveat: E2EE is not default. It’s a paid add-on called “pCloud Crypto.” Without it your files are encrypted at rest but not zero-knowledge. The draw is genuine lifetime plans, which can be cost-effective over years if you trust their longevity.
