## 1. Proton Drive

Best for: People who want every file encrypted by default and open-source apps. Proton Drive suits people who want all files encrypted by default and apps whose code anyone can read. Drive Plus is $3.99 a month on a yearly plan and adds 10 years of file-version recovery. The catch: the plans with 1 TB or more cost $14.99 a month or more.

## 2. pCloud

Best for: People who want a one-time lifetime plan or a virtual drive instead of a monthly subscription. pCloud suits people who prefer to pay once for a lifetime plan or want a virtual drive that keeps files in the cloud. Paid yearly plans start at €49.99 for 500 GB. The catch: end-to-end encryption costs extra and covers only the Crypto folder, and researchers reported attacks on that encryption in 2024.

## 3. Filen

Best for: People who want every file end-to-end encrypted, open-source apps and a low entry price. Filen suits people who want end-to-end encryption on every file, open-source code and a cheap annual plan. It has a network drive, sync modes and password-protected links. The catch: Filen does not publish an outside security test, a certification or file-version retention times, and it no longer runs a public bug bounty.

## 4. iCloud Drive

Best for: People who mainly use iPhone and Mac and want a Windows PC to reach the same files. iCloud Drive suits people with Apple devices who want a Windows PC to open the same files, and families who share one plan. The 200 GB plan costs $2.99 a month and the 2 TB plan $9.99. The catch: Apple holds the encryption keys unless you turn on Advanced Data Protection, and the requirements page lists no Android or Linux app.

## 5. Koofr

Best for: People who want a 10 GB free plan and small paid plans, and will use Vault for private files. Koofr suits people who want a 10 GB free plan and a 100 GB or 1 TB plan at a few euros a month, with Vault for the files that must stay private. Paid plans keep versions for up to two years and add Office editing. The catch: regular files are not end-to-end encrypted, no family plan or lifetime plan is listed, and the terms say payments are final.

## 6. Internxt Drive

Best for: People who want encrypted storage with open-source apps and a one-time payment option. Internxt suits people who want zero-knowledge storage, open-source code and the option to pay once for a lifetime plan. It publishes a 2025 penetration-test summary and names ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. The catch: the free plan is 1 GB, the smallest paid plan is 1 TB at about $12 a month, and file versions are limited to Office, PDF and CSV files.

## 7. Sync.com

Best for: People who want private storage for one account and a long deleted-file history. Sync.com suits one person who wants private storage with files on demand and selective sync on Windows. The paid plans keep history for 90 to 365 days and let you password-protect links. The catch is the price: the first-year discount ends and 1 TB renews at $12 a month, and there is no family plan or lifetime option.

## 8. Google Drive

Best for: People who already use a Google Account and want a large free allowance and browser editing. Google Drive suits people who want a large free allowance, Google Docs, Sheets and Slides in the browser, and a plan that six people can share. Streamed files open from File Explorer. The catch: Drive has no Linux desktop app, the sharing help page describes no password for share links, and end-to-end encryption is a business feature.

## 9. Dropbox

Best for: People who want broad app support and account-wide undo, and accept that Dropbox can read files. Dropbox suits people who need apps on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android, files that stay online until opened, and a family plan for six. Rewind can undo many changes across an account. The catch: Dropbox says its staff may access file content, history on Plus and Family is 30 days, and the free plan is only 2 GB.

## 10. Icedrive

Best for: People who want a mounted drive on Windows and a one-time payment option. Icedrive suits people who want a mounted drive in Windows and the choice of a one-time lifetime payment. Its subscription plans keep file versions for 30 to 90 days and carry a 30-day refund promise. The catch: Icedrive names no outside security audit and lists no family plan, and the free plan lacks client-side encryption.
