Best European Alternatives to Dropbox (2026)

Dropbox is a US company that stores your files in a way its systems can read, because they are not end-to-end encrypted by default. It receives data requests from US government agencies every year. European alternatives keep your files in Europe, and many encrypt them so only you hold the key.
