Best Google Drive alternatives
Choosing a secure and private Google Drive alternative is complicated by the fact that Google Drive works with various other services such as Google Docs, Calendar, and more. If you use the full suite of Google apps, replacing Drive could be challenging. However, if you have some flexibility in the additional apps and services you use, I can show you some secure cloud storage options that can act as Google Drive alternatives that also keep your data private.
1. Proton Drive
Proton Drive comes from the same Swiss company behind Proton Mail and Proton VPN — services trusted worldwide for their commitment to privacy and security. If you're looking for a secure cloud storage service that doesn’t compromise on encryption or data sovereignty, Proton Drive is a strong choice.
Based in Switzerland, Proton benefits from some of the strongest privacy laws in the world. All files stored in Proton Drive are end-to-end encrypted, meaning that only you — not Proton or any third party — can access your data. This encryption is applied both in transit and at rest, and the company follows a strict zero-access policy. Proton Drive has also open-sourced its encryption protocol and published independent security audits, giving transparency-minded users even more peace of mind.
One of Proton Drive’s standout features is its clean, user-friendly interface — especially if you're already in the Proton ecosystem. It integrates smoothly with Proton Mail and Proton Calendar, allowing users to manage sensitive files and documents without leaving the secure Proton environment. Proton Drive also recently launched mobile apps and added support for encrypted file sharing, letting you send files securely to anyone, even if they don’t use Proton.
Storage plans for Proton Drive are reasonably priced and scale up if you need more space. However, it's not a great fit for large business teams just yet. Collaboration tools are limited compared to services like Tresorit or Google Workspace, and there's no built-in integration with third-party business platforms. That said, if privacy is your number one concern — and you don't mind a more streamlined feature set — Proton Drive is hard to beat.
2. NordLocker
Compared to the other Google Drive alternatives we're looking at here, NordLocker is pretty bare bones. That's because it is really a file encryption system with cloud storage capabilities. If you are looking for secure Google Drive replacement, the NordLocker Premium plan offers 500 GB of storage at a very reasonable price.
Consider NordLocker for business or personal use if you need the maximum possible security for your cloud storage. Conventional secure cloud storage services like Proton Drive or Tresorit encrypt your data whenever it is in motion or when it is on their servers. No one, not even them, can decrypt your data in these circumstances.
But conventional cloud storage services do not encrypt the data when it is at rest on your devices. If a malicious actor gains access to your device, they will also have full access to your files as well.
NordLocker eliminates this problem. You put files and folders you want to store in the cloud into a special folder called a locker. Lockers are encrypted by default, even on your device. Unless you open NordLocker (which is itself password-protected) your files remain safely encrypted at all times. This results in an additional level of protection beyond any of the other products profiled here.
NordLocker has one other nice trick on offer. The service provides its own secure cloud storage for lockers just like everyone else. But NordLocker lockers are also compatible with any other cloud storage service. That’s a big deal. It means you can store lockers in other cloud storage services (including Google Drive), and know that your data is secure.
3. Tresorit
Tresorit, based in Switzerland, is our pick for the best Google Drive alternative today. It offers a full set of features that could be useful for individuals and teams, as well as businesses. You also get end-to-end zero knowledge encryption that ensures your data is really private and secure — even from the people at Tresorit.
If you are on an individual plan, your data will be stored in Ireland. But if you spring for a business account, you can select from several jurisdictions to meet your regulatory and business requirements. Tresorit has also been audited to confirm that the product delivers on its promises. Ernst & Young did it in 2019 and rated Tresorit as a trustworthy service.
Tresorit doesn't connect to the same range of business apps that Google Drive does, but it does integrate with Outlook, Gmail, and Active Directory, making it easy to use Tresorit with your existing infrastructure.
Their business-oriented plans also give you tools for managing users and their data across the organization. When you factor in Tresorit compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, FedRAMP, and numerous other data protection regulations, you get a secure cloud storage offering that works in a business environment.
Tresorit isn't just resting on its past achievements, either. One recent addition to the product was Tresorit Drive 2.0. Tresorit Drive allows you to access and edit cloud-only files without downloading or syncing them. It is available for Windows and Mac OS.
Tresorit is a great Google Drive replacement for business users but might be overkill for individual users. The free plan offered by the company is very limited, while individuals will probably have little use for the business features while still needing to pay the product's relatively high subscription fee.
4. Sync.com
The next Google Drive alternative we will examine is Sync.com. This Canadian company is one of the best alternatives to Google Drive for both individuals and businesses. The service has a zero-knowledge infrastructure that looks really solid and features that will appeal to any audience.
The Sync.com free plan could be ideal for individuals who can get by with only a few gigabytes of storage (5 GB) and don’t need a Linux sync client. The company stores all your data in Canada.
Sync.com has a number of strong features for businesses. It has capable subscription plans with the ability to do things like view Office documents directly from the web, send and receive files securely, as well as unlimited storage and bandwidth. The plans are compliant with industry standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, and PIPEDA.
There are two potential drawbacks to consider if you want to use Sync.com for business. One is that you need to store all your data in Sync.com’s Sync folder. This could result in incompatibilities with other crucial business apps and services. The other potential drawback is that the company has not published any third-party audit results yet.
5. Nextcloud
Nextcloud is a unique option among secure cloud storage services because it gives you full control over where and how your data is stored. Rather than using someone else’s infrastructure, Nextcloud is open-source software that lets you create your own private cloud on your own hardware or with a trusted hosting provider.
This self-hosted approach makes Nextcloud an excellent choice for those who want maximum privacy and data ownership. You decide which server to use — whether that’s a machine in your office, a virtual private server, or a third-party host — and Nextcloud handles the rest. All files are encrypted during transfer, and additional encryption options can be enabled for data at rest. With the right setup, no outside company ever has access to your files.
Nextcloud is highly modular and flexible. It’s much more than just a file-syncing solution — it includes a suite of tools like calendar, contacts, video conferencing, and collaborative document editing through integrations with services like OnlyOffice and Collabora. For tech-savvy users or organizations with in-house IT, this makes Nextcloud a powerful private alternative to Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
That said, Nextcloud isn’t for everyone. While some managed hosting providers offer easy deployment, many users will need at least basic technical skills to get started. And since you’re responsible for the server, you’ll also be responsible for backups, updates, and security patches unless you opt for a fully managed service.
If you want maximum control, open-source transparency, and the ability to customize every part of your cloud storage setup, Nextcloud is one of the best options available.
6. MEGA.nz
If you use Google Drive as an individual, rather than a team member or an employee, MEGA could be the Google Drive replacement you want. Among its Drive-like benefits, MEGA provides desktop and mobile clients for every major operating system, including Linux.
Like Tresorit, MEGA's end-to-end, zero knowledge encryption means not even MEGA themselves can read your data. They also offer a generous free plan that includes 15 GB of storage (which you can boost to as much as to 50 GB if you complete certain tasks).
One thing that hurts this service is that it has daily data transfer limits that can leave changes unsynced until the next day if you try to move too much data at once.
While MEGA has a lot to offer for individuals, it doesn't look as good if you are looking for secure business storage. Their business plans can include unlimited storage and transfer capacity, plus built-in chat, contacts, and file preview capabilities. But Tresorit and other services like pCloud have stronger corporate offerings.
Another thing to be aware of with MEGA is that New Zealand law forces MEGA to include some worrying clauses in their ToS. You’ll want to study the ToS extra carefully if you are considering MEGA for corporate cloud storage.
