These 10 startups have rolled out new products that are solving niche storage issues or tackling critical challenges that haven’t yet been resolved.
INTERNXT DRIVE
Internxt Drive from Valencia, Spainbased Internxt, is an open-source, zero-knowledge cloud-based storage service which, because the company is based in Europe, offers full privacy features including user-coded decryption. Files uploaded to Internxt Drive are first encrypted on the client side and then fragmented into independent shards that are stored on servers distributed around the world
ICEDRIVE
Icedrive from the Swansea, U.K.-based company of the same name is a cloud-based storage offering that uses twofish encryption, which the company said is more secure than the commonly used Rigndael algorithm-based AES encryption. Everything, including file and folder names, are encrypted on the client device before being moved to the cloud. Plans start from $20 per year for 150 GB to a one-time $999 payment for lifetime 10 TB.
