Overview

Internxt is a zero-knowledge encrypted cloud storage with open-source code and European data hosting. It handles zero-knowledge, open source, photo backup, and s3 compatible, and it's best suited for privacy-focused users wanting encrypted, open-source storage. It has been around since 2020, giving it a 6-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.

The free plan offers 10 gb free. Since it's open-source, you can self-host for free with no user limits. It's aimed at individual users, so it's fast to set up but may lack team-management features if you scale.

Strengths

  • Open source and transparent
  • Zero-knowledge architecture means nobody — not even the company — can access your data
  • Fully open-source — you can self-host, audit the code, and avoid vendor lock-in
  • 10 GB free — generous enough for most small teams to get real work done

Weaknesses

  • Free plan exists but key features are locked behind the paid upgrade
  • Fewer built-in features means you may need additional tools to cover gaps
  • Syncing large folders can be slow and occasionally causes file conflicts
  • Community support can be slower than the dedicated support teams at commercial alternatives
