European cloud storage
Store and sync your files without handing them over to US Big Tech.
When your files sit on European servers, EU law protects them. US cloud providers can be ordered by American courts to share your data, even if your files are stored outside the US. European cloud storage providers cannot. Many also encrypt your files so that only you can read them, not even the company storing them. Prices are competitive, and most work just like the tools you already know.
