The original
Internxt
Open-source, end-to-end encrypted cloud storage and photo backup.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Internxt.
Filen
German end-to-end encrypted cloud storage with open-source clients.
Filen also has open-source clients and zero-knowledge encryption, stores data in Germany under EU rules, and is similarly newer, with some clients still rough.
Proton Drive
End-to-end encrypted cloud storage from Proton for backing up, syncing and sharing files and photos.
Proton Drive keeps end-to-end encryption and mobile photo backup, but it is closed source, requires a Proton account and lists only Android, iOS and web apps.
MEGA
End-to-end encrypted cloud storage with a large free tier.
MEGA offers a larger free tier with end-to-end encryption by default and adds chat and meetings, but it is closed source and applies transfer quotas.
Sync.com
Canadian zero-knowledge encrypted cloud storage.
Sync.com applies zero-knowledge encryption to everything by default with controlled share links, but it is closed source and has no Linux client.
pCloud
Swiss cloud storage with lifetime plans and optional client-side encryption.
pCloud keeps lifetime plans and clients on every platform, but it is closed source and its client-side encryption is a paid add-on rather than the default.
Tresorit
Swiss zero-knowledge encrypted storage aimed at businesses.
Tresorit adds enterprise access controls, logging and European data residency to zero-knowledge encryption, but it is closed source, paid only and more expensive.
Peergos
Self-hostable encrypted storage that hides sharing metadata as well as content.
Peergos is AGPL-3.0 open source, can be self-hosted and also protects sharing metadata, though its clients are less polished and performance is modest.
Nextcloud
A file sync and collaboration server you run yourself, with desktop and mobile clients that behave like Dropbox.
Nextcloud moves your files onto a GPL-2.0 server you run yourself, removing hosted storage limits, but adds the work of updates, backups and certificates.
Also worth comparing
These listings name Internxt as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.
Icedrive
A cloud storage service with 10GB free, client-side encryption and a mountable virtual drive.
Internxt uses open-source clients with client-side encryption and offers lifetime plans, though it is a young service with a small free tier.
