DRIVUNO vs Microsoft Teams
Tenant-managed keys protect you from outsiders. Client-side keys also protect you from the platform.
Microsoft Teams is deeply integrated with Microsoft 365 governance, eDiscovery and retention — features that exist precisely because the platform can read content (end-to-end encryption is limited to specific one-to-one calls). DRIVUNO Rooms takes the opposite position: content is unreadable to the provider, and governance is handled through membership, key rotation and immutable security logs.
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.
People reach this page searching for teams alternative, microsoft teams alternative, teams vs, teams end to end encryption. This is the direct answer: DRIVUNO is the Microsoft Teams alternative where the provider holds no key.
| Feature | DRIVUNO | Microsoft Teams |
|---|---|---|
| Encryption model | End-to-end for messages and files | Service/tenant-managed keys; E2EE limited to some 1:1 calls |
| eDiscovery of content | Not possible on the provider side | Supported by design |
| File names and structure | Encrypted, searched via blind indexes | Visible to the platform (SharePoint/OneDrive) |
| Files inside conversations | Encrypted before upload, client-side previews, encrypted ZIP download | SharePoint-backed, provider-readable |
| Deployment | Browser and PWA, nothing to install | Desktop/mobile clients, tenant administration |
| Departing member | Sealed keys revoked and rotated | Account disabled; content remains in the tenant |
| Continuous folder mirroring | Live Clone, encrypted on device, version history | OneDrive sync (provider-readable) |
Comparison based on publicly available documentation at time of writing. DRIVUNO does not make absolute claims about competitor security; we describe architectural differences.
What Microsoft Teams can't do
- — Apply end-to-end encryption to channel messages and files — E2EE is limited to specific one-to-one calls.
- — Keep file names and SharePoint structure hidden from the tenant.
- — Run eDiscovery-free confidentiality: the governance features exist because the platform can read content.
- Messages and files are end-to-end encrypted, with search on device-computed blind indexes.
- File and folder names are encrypted; the server sees opaque identifiers.
- Governance is membership, key rotation and immutable security logs — not content access.

Frequently asked questions
Is this comparison fair?
+
We compare architectural characteristics publicly documented by each vendor at the time of writing. We never call a competitor insecure — only 'not zero-knowledge by default' where that is the case.
What does zero-knowledge change for a chat tool?
+
Message payloads are sealed on the device under a room key wrapped per member. The provider relays envelopes it cannot open, so there is no admin export of content, no server-side scanning and nothing readable to disclose.
Do we lose features by encrypting everything?
+
You keep channels, threads, mentions, reactions, file drops, galleries, encrypted ZIP downloads, calls and search. Search runs on blind indexes computed on your device instead of server-side plaintext indexing.
How do we migrate a team?
+
Invite members by email; keys are generated on their first login and channel keys are sealed to each member. Files can be dragged in, or mirrored continuously from a local folder with Live Clone.
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.
