Internxt Drive review

Internxt Drive is encrypted cloud storage for people who want their files protected from the storage provider itself. According to Internxt’s homepage, files are encrypted on your device and can be decrypted only by you or people you authorize. The company says its zero-knowledge design means it cannot access your files or recover them if you forget your password. That privacy claim comes with a tradeoff: losing access credentials could mean losing access to your files.

The homepage also says files are automatically protected with post-quantum cryptography, that the code is open source on GitHub, and that Securitum independently audited and verified the service. Those are useful signals, but they are claims about the product’s security approach, not a guarantee that every app or workflow will work smoothly. The free plan includes 1GB of encrypted storage.

Privacy is the clearest reason to consider Internxt. Its end-to-end, zero-knowledge approach is designed to keep Internxt from reading stored files, while open-source code gives outside reviewers a way to inspect the software. The homepage also names Securitum as an independent auditor and says the service uses post-quantum cryptography. These are relevant features for users who put confidentiality ahead of convenient account recovery.

The plans cover a range of storage needs, and the pricing page lists apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and the web on Essential, Premium and Ultimate. Listed storage is 1TB on Essential, 2TB on Premium and 5TB on Ultimate. The free tier gives you 1GB, with up to 10GB available through tasks, so it offers a way to try the service without paying.

The pricing page lists Essential at $11.99 per month. Annual prices are not published on the vendor's site, so we would not treat the monthly figure as a basis for estimating annual cost.

The pricing is hard to compare. Essential is listed at $11.99 monthly, but Premium and Ultimate monthly prices and annual prices for all paid plans are not published on the vendor's site. Lifetime plans are one-time purchases and can be stacked up to 100TB, but prices for additional storage are not published. Check the checkout terms before committing, especially for a lifetime deal.

There are also concrete limits: Free and Essential cap individual files at 10GB and keep deleted files in trash for 7 days. Premium lists a 50GB file cap and 14-day trash retention; Ultimate lists 100GB and 30 days. The free tier’s standard storage is 1GB, not 10GB; the higher figure requires tasks.

Reliability concerns in user discussions deserve attention, though they are reports, not a measure of current performance. One Reddit thread describes repeated upload and download failures and a WebDAV feature the poster said became unavailable; commenters also report upload problems. Another commenter says more than 1TB of lifetime-plan data was deleted and could not be recovered. That is a serious allegation, not independently verified here, but it makes keeping a separate backup prudent.

Internxt’s Free plan includes 1GB of storage at no charge. The pricing details also list up to 10GB with tasks, a 10GB maximum file size and seven-day trash retention. Essential is the only paid tier with a published monthly price: $11.99 per month for 1TB, with the same 10GB file cap and seven-day trash retention.

Premium raises storage to 2TB and the file-size cap to 50GB; Ultimate offers 5TB and a 100GB cap. Their monthly prices aren’t published, so we can’t calculate the cost of moving up from Essential. Annual billing is offered, but annual prices aren’t published either. That makes it hard to compare the real savings against monthly billing before checkout.

Lifetime plans are one-time purchases and can be stacked for up to 100TB, but prices for the plans and extra storage aren’t published in the published details. Check the final checkout price and billing term before committing; the listed $11.99 is monthly, not an annual rate.

The published details don’t describe a migration tool, bulk-import process or data-export format, so the effort of moving a large archive in or out is unclear. Before switching, confirm how you can retrieve your files and whether your current storage provider’s export process preserves folder structure and metadata; those details aren’t published here. Internxt’s zero-knowledge design also means it says it cannot recover files if you forget your password, so keep your credentials safe.

The review brief flags reliability complaints and inconsistent WebDAV access as reasons for caution, but it doesn’t include the Reddit posts or details behind those reports. We can’t say how common the problems are or which setups they affect. If WebDAV is part of your workflow, verify support for your use case before moving files. The published published material also doesn’t establish a specific reason Reddit users leave Internxt, or a documented exit process. Treat export and reliability as questions to resolve before making it your only copy.
