Icedrive

Overview

Icedrive is operated by Ice Privacy Ltd, whose site footer gives an address at the World Trade Center in Gibraltar^[26]. It offers 10 GB of free storage, one of the larger free allowances in this list^[26]. Paid plans include 100 GB, Pro 2 TB, 5 TB and 10 TB tiers; on the page reviewed only the 2 TB Pro tier showed a price, at US$8.99 a month normally, discounted to US$6.29 a month or US$75.52 for the first year under a new-customer offer^[27]. The company’s FAQ says it supports GBP, USD and EUR as standard currencies^[27].

Encryption is the distinguishing technical choice. Icedrive uses client-side encryption with the Twofish algorithm rather than AES, and states that file and folder names are encrypted on the device and that keys never reach its servers; the free plan is listed without encryption, which is reserved for paid plans^[27]. Lifetime plans are promoted seasonally but were not priced on the page reviewed^[26]. The company publishes little about its founding, ownership or user numbers, so long-term commitments carry more uncertainty than with listed providers.
