Everabyte advantages

What you get that Tresorit doesn't offer.

Encrypted before storage

Tresorit encrypts client-side on your device; Everabyte applies application-level encryption before storage plus a storage-level layer at rest. Direct access to stored objects does not reveal file contents, and your decryption key stays under your control.

Built-in access contracts

NDA, geo-restrict, time windows, watermarks. Tresorit has none of these — you'd need an external e-signature tool.

Account recovery passphrase

Tresorit's strict zero-knowledge means losing your password can mean losing your files. Everabyte provides a recovery passphrase as a safety net.

Customer-type discounts

Everabyte auto-applies 50% off for students, 40% for education, 30% for nonprofits. Tresorit charges full price to all.
