Koofr: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Koofr is a cloud storage service from Slovenia for individuals and organisations. Its distinguishing feature is multi-cloud access: users connect existing accounts at other providers and search all their files from one app. Koofr also offers Koofr Vault, a separate zero-knowledge storage application in which files are encrypted on the client side. Vault is available as a web app and as iOS and Android apps, and works with rclone. The service is delivered as a hosted service.

Koofr d.o.o. is headquartered in Ljubljana, Slovenia, an EU member state. According to its privacy policy, the servers are hosted in Germany, in ISO 27001-certified data centres; the hosting provider is not named. No foreign parent company is named. Koofr Vault is open source; the main service is not described as open source. For European organisations this means EU jurisdiction and EU hosting, with dependence on a third-party data-centre operator.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Koofr

Koofr is headquartered in SI and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Koofr scores best on data residency.

Koofr is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Koofr together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
