Murena Workspace: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Murena Cloud, also offered as Murena Workspace and formerly called eCloud, is an online suite from Murena, the company behind the privacy-focused mobile operating system /e/OS. It combines cloud file storage, email with a @murena.io address, calendar and contacts, an online office suite and Murena Vault, an end-to-end encrypted folder for sensitive files with real-time collaboration. It works alongside /e/OS but can be used without it, through a browser or standard clients such as Thunderbird. The service runs on open-source components: Nextcloud, OnlyOffice and CryptPad.

Murena Retail SAS is headquartered in Paris, France; the company is privately held and no foreign parent is named. Murena states that all its servers are in the EU, with email and cloud servers in Finland, and does not name a hosting provider. Murena says its code is public and can be audited. Self-hosting is not described; Murena operates the service itself. For European organisations this means French jurisdiction, EU hosting and open-source components.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Murena Workspace

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

Murena Workspace is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.
