DRIVUNO vs WeTransfer
Sending 20 GB of client work should not mean handing plaintext to a transfer service.
WeTransfer is the fastest way to send big files to anyone — and the files rest readable on provider-managed infrastructure while the link lives. DRIVUNO delivers the same simplicity with a decryption key that travels in the URL fragment and never reaches our servers, links capped at 24 hours, plus a permanent encrypted workspace and Live Clone mirroring behind it.
| Feature | DRIVUNO | WeTransfer |
|---|---|---|
| Encryption of transferred files | Client-side before upload | Provider-managed |
| Provider can read the file | No | Technically yes |
| Link key exposure | Key in URL fragment — never sent to the server | Server-resolved links |
| Link lifetime | ≤ 24 h, enforced server-side | Days, plan dependent |
| Permanent storage & workspace | Full encrypted drive, photos, mailbox, teams | Transfer-first |
| Continuous folder mirroring (Live Clone) | Yes — live 24/7, encrypted on device, version history | Not offered |

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?
