TransferChain
Swiss encrypted cloud storage that splits your files into pieces and scatters them across multiple cloud providers so no single company — including TransferChain — can ever see your data.

Description
Regular cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive) means trusting one company to hold the only copy of your files and to not peek at them. TransferChain takes a different approach: it encrypts your files on your own device before they ever leave it, chops them into pieces, and spreads those pieces across several different cloud providers — so even if one provider were hacked or subpoenaed, no one but you holds the full, readable file.
TransferChain is a Swiss-based distributed cloud storage and secure file-sharing platform using client-side end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge architecture, distributing file chunks across providers like Google Cloud, AWS, and Azure. It's built for compliance-heavy industries — manufacturing, insurance, healthcare, defense — needing ISO 27001 and GDPR-aligned secure storage and sharing. The free Teams plan covers 5GB for up to 3 users; paid tiers scale by storage ($20/100GB) and seats (from $1/seat), with 20% off on annual billing.
💬 Our review
The short version: if your organization handles sensitive files and needs proof that no single party — not even the vendor — can access them, TransferChain's split-and-encrypt architecture is a genuinely different security model than standard cloud storage, aimed squarely at regulated industries willing to pay for it.
TransferChain sits in a niche next to Tresorit and pCloud's encrypted tiers — all offer zero-knowledge, client-side encryption — but TransferChain's specific pitch is distributing encrypted chunks across multiple cloud providers simultaneously, a step beyond "just encrypt it and store it with one vendor." That's a meaningful resilience argument for defense/healthcare/insurance compliance teams, but pricing for anything beyond the 5GB free tier isn't transparently published, making it hard to compare costs directly against Tresorit's published business plans. For a small team or individual just wanting encrypted backup, this is likely overkill — the value is concentrated in regulated-industry compliance requirements.
