iCloud is built into the Apple ecosystem. DRIVUNO is built around zero-knowledge by default, across platforms.
iCloud offers strong security and an optional Advanced Data Protection mode for end-to-end encryption of most categories. DRIVUNO is zero-knowledge by default for every file in every vault, on every platform, with no toggle required.

| Cross-platform reach | Web, all major OSes | Best on Apple devices |

Comparison based on publicly available documentation at time of writing. DRIVUNO does not make absolute claims about competitor security; we describe architectural differences.
We compare architectural and feature characteristics that are publicly documented by each vendor. We avoid absolute claims, and we never describe a competitor as 'insecure' — only as 'not zero-knowledge by default' where that is the case.
Yes. You can upload folders via the web app; everything is encrypted client-side as it lands. We are working on dedicated migration tooling for major providers.
Start free with 2 GB. Zero-knowledge encryption from the first upload — no admin override, no AI scanning, no plaintext on the server.
