## Key features

- **Swiss data hosting:** Files are replicated across three storage devices in two Swiss data centers, and the vendor says it complies with GDPR and the Swiss nFADP.
- **Sync apps:** Desktop sync for Windows, Mac and Linux with selective folders, mobile apps for iOS and Android with offline files, and WebDAV support.
- **Online editing:** OnlyOffice editing is included with paid plans. Pro adds Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint through Microsoft Office Online.
- **Sharing and drop boxes:** Share links can have passwords and expiry dates, and recipients need no Infomaniak account. Drop boxes receive files from others.
- **Version history:** Solo and Team keep 60 days or 100 versions; Pro keeps 120 days or 200 versions. Recycle bin retention runs 3 months to 1 year.
- **AI content search:** Search looks inside images, work documents and PDFs. The vendor attributes this to its own sovereign AI.

## Good for

- Buyers who want data kept in Switzerland under GDPR
- Individuals wanting 3 TB at a flat monthly price
- Small teams needing Office editing without Microsoft 365

## Worth knowing

- Prices are in Swiss francs and exclude VAT; no US dollar prices are shown.
- Solo is limited to one user and its 3 TB cannot be increased.
- Team includes at most 6 users, and Pro needs a minimum of 3 users.
- Extra storage is sold in 5 TB steps, from CHF 36.00 a month.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace kDrive you would be making files kept in step across devices without losing one. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 34 of the 45 other file storage and sync services we grade.

- You could not: Files kept in step across devices without losing one.
- You could not: A search engine with an AI model behind it.
- You could not: Storing and serving files for other people.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: Several people working in it at the same moment.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, OnlyOffice, Microsoft Office Online and Synology among them.
