Koofr is a cloud storage provider based in Europe that focuses heavily on user privacy. Unlike some big tech companies, Koofr does not track users or sell their data to advertisers. For individual users, Koofr offers a generous "Starter" plan that includes 10GB of secure storage space completely free of charge.
This offer is not a temporary trial; it is a permanent free tier.
A standout feature for users is the ability to connect existing accounts from other services (like Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox) into the Koofr dashboard. This means a student can search for a missing homework assignment across all their different cloud accounts using just the Koofr app. It also includes "Koofr Vault," a special folder that encrypts files on your device before uploading, ensuring that only the user can ever access them.
In our initial test, upload speed was average taking 12-15 mins to upload 655MB video with a network upload of 400Mbps, making an average speed of ~500kbps. The speed eventually goes upto 2Mbps.
On the up side the download speed is incredibly fast 400Mbps on 400Mbps connection. But hey, its a free service, can't complaint much.
