The private, zero-knowledge alternative to Google Drive.
The leading private, zero-knowledge alternative to Google Drive without AI data harvesting or file scanning. Encrypt files on your device with zero AI model scraping, in-memory 4K video streaming, and all 11 Foxcolab apps for just $2.50/mo.
The Google Drive Dilemma: Centralized Keys, AI Data Scraping & Automated Indexing
Google Drive encrypts customer data at rest, but Google holds the master decryption keys on their servers. Automated indexers continuously scan your documents, spreadsheets, and photos to power ad targeting profiles and train Gemini AI models by default. Under international subpoenas, Google can decrypt and hand over files without customer knowledge.
- Vendor holds master encryption keys; files, spreadsheets, and documents are decrypted on central servers.
- Documents, images, and presentations are parsed to feed enterprise AI algorithms and Gemini models by default.
- Requires full Google account login for external recipients to edit or comment on shared folders.
- Subject to extraterritorial data requests and warrantless government discovery.
- Aggressive price escalation from $6 to $12 to $18/user/mo plus separate AI add-on fees ($20-$30/mo).
