Which one is for you
Pick TeamDrive if
- Fits if your data must be held in Germany under German rules
- Works for law, tax or healthcare teams who need retention periods and an audit trail
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you are one person, as storage starts at 10 GB for €76 a year
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as the trial ends after 30 days
- Tight if you grow, because the shop lists three Starter packages and more needs added licenses or storage
- Watch out: prices exclude VAT and are shown for business use, and Outlook encryption is Windows with Classic only
Pick Tresorit if
- Fits if you handle confidential client files, like a legal or finance team does
- Works for organizations that have to choose where their data is kept
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you just want space, at $11.99 a month billed yearly for 1 TB
- Tight if you're staying free, because Basic is 3 GB, 500 MB a file and 2 devices
- Skip it if you want to try a paid plan without a card, as the 14-day trial asks for payment details
- Watch out: Personal Lite caps files at 2 GB, keeps 5 versions and syncs 2 devices for $4.75 a month
- Watch out: shown prices are for yearly billing, and Business needs 3 users, Business Pro 5
How we grade them
| 2.4GPATeamDriveFair | 2.4GPATresoritFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C€76 a year for one user and 10 GB is about €6.30 a month, close to the category's $7 middle. The 5-user package works out near €6.50 a seat. | DThe $4.75 entry plan is ordinary money for this category, middle $5, but it buys 50 GB and 2 devices, where $1.99 buys 100 GB elsewhere. Real room starts at $11.99 for 1 TB, past the $9.99 where the dearest tenth begins, and Business is $19 a user with 3 users minimum. |
| Free plan and trial | C30-day trial of Professional with no card. After it the app drops to a Private mode with reduced functionality. | CBasic is free and encrypted like the paid plans, but it's 3 GB, no file over 500 MB and sync across 2 devices only. The 14-day trial of a paid plan asks for payment details before it starts. |
| Features | BEnd-to-end encryption, project Spaces, guest sharing of large files, archiving with retention periods and an audit trail. Outlook encryption is the one gap, and it is Windows with Outlook Classic only. | CThe storage basics with end-to-end encryption, plus Tresorit Drive, encrypted links and Gmail and Outlook plug-ins. The listing's own rationing is the catch: 2 GB file size and 5 versions on Personal Lite, 2 devices, and file requests, access logs and data residency only on the dearer plans. |
| Ease of use | CSpaces and permissions to set up, with no store rating on record. | BNo store rating on record, but nothing to set up: Tresorit Drive puts the files in Explorer or Finder without filling the disk, and the Gmail and Outlook plug-ins encrypt attachments where you already write email. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android apps. The only listed integration is Outlook. | AWeb, Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android, the full set, and it joins up with Gmail and Outlook for attachments, and Azure AD, Okta and Active Directory for business sign-in. |
| Best for | end-to-end encrypted file sharing hosted in Germany | confidential files a business can't let leak |

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.
