Infomaniak kDrive – European cloud storage
Swiss cloud storage from an ethical hosting company. 100% renewable energy, full data sovereignty, no investor pressure.
Quick facts
The free tier is more generous than most cloud storage rivals, and syncing across desktop, mobile and web feels every bit as polished as Dropbox.
Third-party app integrations are much thinner than Dropbox or Google Drive, and support documentation outside French and German can feel a step behind.
Why does it score 95?
Incorporated in Geneva, Switzerland – an EFTA country rather than a full EU member state.
Fully employee-owned by Infomaniak since 1994, with no external investors at all.
kDrive runs on Infomaniak's own data centres in Switzerland, powered entirely by renewable energy.
GDPR-compliant with partially open-source clients, though the core platform itself isn't fully open source.
