How we grade them
| 2.4GPACozy Cloud (Twake Workplace)Fair | 2.8GPAKoofrGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BEUR 4 a month for 50 GB, inside the cheapest quarter of file storage. EUR 12 gets 1,000 GB. | BNobody else here sells so small: €0.50 a month for 10 GB extra, €2 for 100 GB, inside the cheapest quarter of a category that starts at $3.99. Space per euro at the top end is another story, with 1 TB at €10, past the $9.99 the dearest tenth starts at. VAT is included and billing is yearly. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree plan with 5 GB, a 1 GB mailbox and 100 emails a day. You will use that up quickly. | C10 GB free for good, with two-way sync, phone photo backup and file versions. The caps bite quickly though: 10 public links at a time, each dead after 14 days, 7 days of deleted-file retention, no external clouds and no Office for the web. |
| Features | CFiles, notes, chat, mail and a password manager. The Office editor only comes with Standard or Premium. | CThe basics, plus connected clouds and Office editing in the browser. The listing names the gaps, and two matter: local folders in the desktop app only start at the Suitcase tier, 250 GB and up, and Koofr Vault, the only client-side encrypted part, can't be opened in the desktop app at all. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record, and moving mail and files over takes some setup. It can also be self-hosted. | BNo store rating on record, but nothing to configure: install the desktop app, pick the folders to sync both ways, and Koofr can sit in the file explorer as a network drive. No server, no keys to juggle. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iOS and Android, with ONLYOFFICE. No desktop sync app is listed. | AWeb, Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android and a browser extension, which is the full set. On top of that it connects Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and Microsoft Office, and works over WebDAV and with rclone. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
