![]() This is also known as zero-knowledge encryption, and it is mandatory for any cloud storage service aiming for maximum privacy. Luckily both Icedrive and Tresorit support client-side encryption, meaning only your device has the power to decrypt your files. When looking for digital privacy, though, it doesn’t just matter how strong the encryption is, but who has access to the keys. That means that even with the most powerful supercomputer on Earth, you’d need trillions of years to crack it. On the security side of things, both services use strong encryption protocols - AES for Tresorit and Twofish for Icedrive - with 256-bit key sizes. AES vs Twofish EncryptionĮncryption is by far the most important thing for both security and privacy, albeit in slightly different ways. Security is Tresorit’s primary reason for existing, though, so it’s going to be a tough round for Icedrive to snatch. Although we already have an overall winner, whether Icedrive can pull even further ahead still remains to be seen. This leaves the score at 4-1 as we head into our final round.įinally we arrive at our last round, which focuses on privacy and security. That said, Icedrive was almost 10 percent faster than Tresorit when uploading, which means this is another win for the newcomer. This is because our test was performed from North Macedonia, which means we were relatively close to both Icedrive’s servers in the UK and Tresorit’s in Ireland and the Netherlands.Īs you can see, both services performed quite well. That means we expect our upload to take around 24 minutes and our download as little as four to five minutes.Īlthough it’s usually a factor, geographical distance didn’t play much of a part in this comparison. To test the speed of both Icedrive and Tresorit, we uploaded a 1GB test folder on a connection with a download speed of 32 Mbps and an upload speed of roughly 6 Mbps. After all, nothing is more annoying than waiting a long time if you need to quickly upload and share a file or folder. While this criterion certainly isn’t as important as features or pricing, it can still make or break a cloud storage service. The Enterprise plan, meanwhile, is intended for larger business and, as such, offers flexible storage caps. The first two of these come with 1TB and 2TB of storage and cost $15 and $20 per month, respectively, or $12 and $16 on an annual plan. ![]() If you’d like to try the software before committing to anything, Tresorit offers a 14-day free trial for all of its plans, which is great since there’s no proper free cloud storage option.įor business users, there are three options: Business Standard, Business Plus and Enterprise. The detailed activity history mentioned in the previous section is also not available on the cheaper plan. In terms of features, they are largely similar, though the more expensive Solo plan gives you access to encrypted file requests (meaning other people can request access to your files or folders). If you opt for monthly billing, these plans will run you $10 and $25 per month, or $8.33 and $20 per month if you pay for a year up front. Tresorit is one of the more expensive options for cloud storage. ![]()
