Shadow Drive is a secure (end-to-end data encryption) and affordable online storage solution designed in partnership with Nextcloud, the world leader in open source storage platforms. Shadow Drive is built on three major features: Store, Share, and Sync, which will allow users to easily store, share, and synchronize their data while keeping access to them from anywhere. Data will be accessible via its web interface and through Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Shadow Drive will be available as a soft launch starting this August, addressing the historical hubiC users who have expressed their interest in the new storage solution. The procedure for hubiC users who want to migrate their hubiC data to Shadow Drive will be communicated soon (1).
Shadow Drive will be available for free for up to 20 GB of storage, while a premium version of the service, available at 8,99£ per month, offers storage up to 2 TB. Shadow Drive will be available to everyone in all European markets Shadow operates in (2) this Fall, and soon in North America.
"We live in an age where all of our digital life, all of our communications are now in the cloud, and most of it is hosted overseas. I have no desire to live in a world where five giants own all the files in the world. That's why I'm excited that we work together with SHADOW, as our two companies share values of excellence, openness, and European sovereignty.," said Frank Karlitschek, CEO of Nextcloud.
