Cubbit
a standalone and secure OneDrive alternative
Big cloud companies like Microsoft integrate and bundle their portfolio to make them interoperable for the users. It sounds good, but often an integrated platform doesn’t bring the highest security and simplicity for users.
OneDrive is the standard for many Microsoft users. However, if you take care of your sensitive files, you should look elsewhere.
Most of the large cloud storage providers explain they do everything for your files’ security.
Unfortunately, it’s simply not always true. Even if Microsoft’s OneDrive encrypts your files in transit and at rest (when they are in the cloud), the company keeps access to your keys, reads your files and makes them available on their other services. So, it is true that they encrypt the files but they can decrypt them at any time.
In addition, why using different products’ bundles if you just want to store and securely share their files?
Cubbit gives you a great and secure alternative to OneDrive.

Distributed vs centralized network
Cubbit relies on a unique distributed network, instead of data centers. Your data are encrypted, multiplied and stored on the thousands of nodes of the network. This is an always growing infrastructure of storage units, powered by our community of privacy enthusiasts, the Swarm.
This means that if OneDrive exposes you to one single point uptimes (data center goes down, your files goes down), with Cubbit you have a whole Swarm on your side.
Does it matter where Microsoft is based?
Microsoft is headquartered in the U.S., which is another potential security problem. Governmental laws, such as the Patriot Act, give agencies the ability to demand access to your data. Since Microsoft is able to see your files, it is able to share them as well. And they did: as they admitted in their report, in the first half of 2020 alone they received information requests from governments and courts about almost 50,000 of their customers' accounts. Microsoft responded by providing their users' information or content in 65% of the cases." It is always less risky to pick a company based somewhere with stronger cloud privacy laws or not storing data in the U.S.
