European file hosting services
Back up and sync files on European servers
Replaces: Dropbox · Google Calendar · Google Docs · Microsoft 365 Online
A file hosting service stores your files online so you can reach them from any device, share them with others and recover them after a mistake or a broken laptop. Desktop clients keep chosen folders in sync, mobile apps upload photos automatically, and versioning lets you go back to an earlier copy. Shared folders and links cover the collaboration side.
Whole working lives end up in cloud storage: tax records, contracts, family photos. pCloud, Filen and Koofr are operated from Europe, so your files rest under EU data protection law instead of being reachable through US legislation such as the CLOUD Act. Before committing to a European file hosting service, test the bulk download path, because storage is easy to fill and awkward to empty.
pCloud
File hosting from Switzerland with EU servers
pCloud is a file hosting service run from Switzerland. There are apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android, plus browser add-ons that let you drop images and other content straight into your storage. Files in the basic plan are not encrypted on the client, but zero-knowledge encryption can be bought as an extra.
