European alternatives to Google Drive
Discover European-built tools you can use instead of Google Drive.
Google Drive bundles cloud storage with Google's document suite, and it's free up to a point because it keeps you inside Google's ecosystem. The files themselves sit on US-controlled servers. The European alternatives below handle file sync, sharing and backup from EU data centres, several with end-to-end encryption so the provider can't read your files. A few are open source and can be self-hosted entirely. You lose the tight Google Docs integration and gain storage that answers to GDPR.
