DRIVUNO vs Filen
Both encrypt on the client. DRIVUNO is the one built for teams, NDA work and 24/7 folder mirroring.
Filen is a solid zero-knowledge storage service with client-side encryption and sync clients. DRIVUNO matches the encryption model and extends it to collaboration: team drives where each member gets their own sealed folder key, per-folder read-only sharing with rotation on removal, an encrypted mailbox, and Live Clone for continuous encrypted mirroring of local folders and external disks.
DRIVUNO is a zero-knowledge Dropbox + Slack: files, chat and mail are encrypted on your device, the keys never leave it, 1 GB free, paid plans from $9.99/month.

Frequently asked questions
Is this comparison fair?
+
We compare architectural and feature characteristics that are publicly documented by each vendor at the time of writing. We never describe a competitor as 'insecure' — only as 'not zero-knowledge by default' where that is the case.
What does zero-knowledge change in practice?
+
Your files are encrypted on your device with keys derived from your passphrase (Argon2id) before upload. DRIVUNO stores ciphertext and wrapped keys only, so there is no admin override, no content scanning, and nothing readable to disclose under legal pressure.
Can I mirror my computer folders continuously?
+
Yes. Live Clone watches one folder, several folders or a whole external disk on PC or Mac and clones every change to your vault in real time, encrypted on your device, with version history retained.
Can I migrate my existing files?
+
Yes. Upload folders through the web app — everything is encrypted client-side as it lands — or point Live Clone at the local copy of your current cloud folder and let it mirror itself.
How do I start?
+
Create a free account with 1 GB, encrypt your first upload in under a minute, and upgrade only when you need the space.
Your sensitive files deserve more than a traditional cloud.
Start free with 1 GB. Zero-knowledge encryption from the first upload — no admin override, no AI scanning, no plaintext on the server.
