About Koofr
Koofr is a cloud storage service based in Europe that markets itself as a privacy-respecting alternative with no trackers. Its distinguishing feature is that it connects to a user's other cloud storage accounts, so files across different providers can be reached and searched from one app, and it can back up photos automatically from a phone.
Other features include online document editing through Office for the web, sharing through expiring links or user permissions, and Koofr Vault, a client-side encrypted area for the most sensitive files. The vendor says it stores encrypted data across several EU-based data centers and does not scan files or keep hidden copies after deletion. Apps cover browsers, Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android and Huawei.
Koofr is proprietary and delivered as a hosted service rather than something you install on your own servers. The first 10 GB are described as free forever, and paid plans for more space are listed on the vendor's pricing page.
