# Koofr

EU-hosted cloud storage with a 10 GB free plan, an optional encrypted Vault and a 100 GB plan at €2 a month with VAT.

58 points out of 100. #5 of 10 cloud storage services. Vendor: Koofr. Website: https://koofr.eu/

- The free plan gives 10 GB of storage [1].
- 100 GB costs €2 a month including 22% VAT, about €1.64 before tax, on a yearly subscription [1].
- Koofr Vault is an open-source, client-side encrypted folder included in all plans; other files are not end-to-end encrypted [2][6][7].
- Previous file versions are kept for up to two years on paid plans, and deleted files for 30 days on paid plans (7 days on free) [4][5].
- Files are stored in the EU, in Germany [8].

Verdict: Koofr suits people who want a 10 GB free plan and a 100 GB or 1 TB plan at a few euros a month, with Vault for the files that must stay private [1][6]. Paid plans keep versions for up to two years and add Office editing [4][11]. The catch: regular files are not end-to-end encrypted, no family plan or lifetime plan is listed, and the terms say payments are final [1][6][13]. Best for: People who want a 10 GB free plan and small paid plans, and will use Vault for private files.
