Encrypted file hosting from Estonia
EstoniaEUOpen sourceFree plan Ownership reviewed, controller unresolvedHigh non-EU dependencyScope verdict
This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.
Operational dependency warning
Current public evidence shows 4 non-European infrastructure or email dependencies across 3 providers: Cloudflare, Fastmail, Google. The reviewed operational path is therefore not entirely European.
cryptee is an open source file hosting service from Estonia. It stores photos, video and documents end to end encrypted with AES256, and includes a built-in editor for Markdown with LaTeX support, so notes can link across to other documents and files.
Signup asks only for a unique username, and ghost folders stay invisible unless you already know their name. As an open source European alternative to the American cloud drives, cryptee suits people who want files and writing encrypted before they ever leave the device.
The free plan is limited to 100 MB of storage. Paid plans start at 3 EUR per month for up to 10 GB.
Data and operations
Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.
Public website
Why this matters
Public DNS routes website visits through Cloudflare. Visitor IP addresses and request metadata can reach this non-European provider; this does not identify the core service's data location.
Incoming business email
Why this matters
Published MX records route incoming business email through Fastmail. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.
Authorised outbound email
Why this matters
This domain authorises Google Firebase to send email. If active, recipient details and message content can be processed by this non-European provider. SPF does not reveal its configured storage region.
