European Alternatives to Google Drive
Google Drive is a widely used cloud storage service integrated into the Google Workspace ecosystem, offering file storage, real-time document collaboration and sharing. It is deeply connected to Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. For organizations seeking cloud storage independent from Google's ecosystem, with EU data hosting, end-to-end encryption and stronger privacy controls, several European platforms offer capable alternatives.
