European alternatives to Dropbox
Discover European-built tools you can use instead of Dropbox.
Dropbox popularised file sync and it still does it well, but it's a US company and your files sit on American-controlled storage. For anyone handling client documents or personal data, that raises the same GDPR and CLOUD Act questions any US cloud does. The European services below sync and share files just as smoothly, store everything in EU data centres, and several add end-to-end or zero-knowledge encryption so the provider can't read your files. A few are open source and can be self-hosted if you want storage entirely under your own roof.
