“Almost two-thirds of our customers are European, led by the traditionally security and privacy conscious countries like Germany and Switzerland. And the spokeswoman tells us more than 100,000 people are now using its tools - which includes both consumer (so some non-paying) and business users.
TRESORIT PREMIUM FREE
Last year it launched free subscriptions for NGOs and activists for whom strong privacy is not just a nice to have. Today it’s also introduced a new basic plan which it describes as a “more capable” free version - intended to help external collaboration between its business users and their clients or partners (who may not be Tresorit users). “But it is easy to get rid of all these deleted items that a user doesn’t need by selecting ‘Remove deleted items’.”Īlso helpful: Tresorit has announced it’s doubling the amount of storage space it offers for individual plans - with its premium (aimed at individuals) and solo (freelancers and professionals) plan users now getting 200GB and 2TB respectively. So, it requires some ‘housekeeping’ from the user,” confirms a Tresorit spokeswoman. “Non-permanently deleted items count towards the storage space of a user. Which does mean, over time, the feature may end up eating into your storage limit - at least if you don’t tidy up and fully delete files you no longer need. The user hasn’t confirmed permanent deletion. There’s no time limitation on the file restore option.
But it says the addition of file restore helps mitigate the types of ransomware attacks that encrypt files without deleting them first. Tresorit already had a file versioning feature, which allows users to recover any previously saved versions of their files. (While files stored in Tresorit’s cloud that not synced locally would not be affected by any local ransomware infection.) Obviously, if files are only stored locally and not backed up or synced to Tresorit’s cloud there’s no fallback restoration in the event of a ransomware infection. The file restore feature covers files stored in Tresorit’s cloud and files synced locally to a user’s devices. Here’s a GIF showing the file recovery feature in action: Or, more prosaically, if you’ve accidentally deleted something. It’s touting this as a helpful feature if you’re trying to recover from a ransomware attack. Europe-based cloud storage startup Tresorit, which mainly focuses on selling to small to medium size businesses, has added a file restore feature to its e2e encrypted cloud storage platform.
