Strato HiDrive: The 3 best alternatives
Cloud storage like Google Drive, Dropbox or Onedrive are not safe enough for many. One option for these people is Strato HiDrive. But there is more secure cloud storage. We show you the three best alternatives to Strato HiDrive in this article.
Alternative to Strato HiDrive: Tresorit
- Tresorit is a cloud service based in Switzerland, where your data is probably more secure than in any other country.
- The AES256 end-to-end encryption of the data is carried out with Tresorit zero-knowledge technology. A competition in which Tresorit called hackers to crack the system for 50, 000 euros in prize money had no winner.
- You can use Tresorit via a web app in the browser, with programs for Mac, Linux or PC and apps for Windows, Android, BlackBerry and iOS.
- However, the service comes at a price: You can try Tresorit free of charge for 14 days, after which you pay EUR 25 per month for 1, 000 GB of encrypted cloud storage.
Secure cloud service: Hornetdrive
- Hornetdrive stores the data on German servers, so they are subject to the strict German data protection law.
- The service relies on secure end-to-end encryption, through which your data is encrypted on the servers and can only be decrypted by you.
- Hornetdrive is available for Windows, Mac OS, Linux, iOS and Android.
- You can try the service free of charge for 30 days. 10 GB are available for € 2.38 a month. You have to pay one year in advance. You can purchase up to 5 TB.
Inexpensive and secure: encrypt yourself
- Instead of relying on the encryption of a cloud provider, you can also encrypt your data yourself.
- You can save the encrypted data in a cloud from providers such as Dropbox, Onedrive and Co.
- Alternatively, you can set up a private cloud - nowhere is your data more secure than at home.
