Koofr review

A useful free tier and an encrypted Vault, but no published paid pricing and no end-to-end encryption for all storage.

The bottom line

A capable free cloud drive, if 10 GB is enough and you do not need encryption for every file.

Koofr’s Free plan includes 10 GB, unlimited file size, 50 GB daily public transfer, and up to 10 public links that expire within 14 days. It also offers cloud connections, Office for the web, sharing controls, and Koofr Vault for client-side encrypted storage. The pricing details list no paid monthly or annual prices.

The key trade-off is encryption: commenters on Reddit describe Koofr’s regular storage as not end-to-end encrypted, with Vault as the encrypted option. Reddit users report both reliable syncing and slower speeds, so experiences vary. Koofr suits users who value the free tier and Vault, but it is harder to compare paid value without published prices.

01What Koofr actually does

Koofr is a European cloud storage service for storing, syncing and sharing files. Its free plan includes 10 GB of storage, and the service is designed to give you access to files across devices. Koofr also says you can connect favorite cloud storage accounts in one app and search across them, so it can serve as a front end for more than Koofr storage.

For documents, Koofr supports creating, viewing and editing files online with Office for the web. Sharing options include expiring links and permissions for other users. Koofr Vault is a separate option for client-side encrypted storage; it is not a claim that all files in a regular Koofr account are encrypted end to end. Koofr says it does not track activities, scan files or keep hidden copies after deletion. Those are the company’s stated privacy policies, not a substitute for checking whether Vault fits your security needs.

02Where Koofr is strong

The main draw is a useful free allowance without a short trial clock: Koofr lists 10 GB free forever. The Free plan also includes unlimited file size, 50 GB of daily public transfer, seven-day deleted-file retention and up to 10 public links, each time-limited to 14 days. That is enough to try everyday storage and sharing before deciding whether you need more.

Koofr also covers practical tasks in one service. Office for the web lets users create, view and edit files online, while link expiry and user permissions provide basic sharing controls. If you already use other cloud services, Koofr says its app can connect those accounts and search across them.

Vault gives users a client-side encrypted place for files that need more protection than ordinary cloud storage. Reddit users describe Koofr as useful for backups and syncing; one commenter said it worked well, while another reported slower speeds. That mixed feedback is more useful than treating speed as a guaranteed advantage. Koofr’s stated privacy position—no activity tracking, file scanning or hidden copies after deletion—may also appeal to users choosing a European storage provider.

03Where it falls short

Koofr’s regular storage should not be treated as end-to-end encrypted. Koofr identifies Vault as the client-side encrypted option, and commenters on Reddit likewise distinguish Vault from the standard service. If you need every file encrypted before it leaves your device, Koofr’s stated feature set does not establish that. You would need to use Vault for protected files or consider a provider built around end-to-end encryption.

The free plan has real ceilings: 10 GB of storage, 50 GB of daily public transfer, seven days to recover deleted files and a maximum of 10 public links, with each link expiring after 14 days. Unlimited file size does not remove those storage or transfer limits.

Price comparison is also difficult. The published pricing information lists Free at $0 per month, but paid monthly and annual prices are not published. A Reddit commenter reported slower speeds than competing services, while another reported Koofr worked well and fast, so user experiences vary. If you need a published upgrade cost or consistently fast transfers, the available information does not settle either question.

04Koofr pricing: what you'll actually pay

Koofr’s only priced plan in the published pricing details is Free: $0 per month for 10 GB. The plan listing also includes unlimited file size, 50 GB of daily public transfer, seven-day deleted-file retention, and up to 10 public links, each limited to 14 days. Koofr describes the 10 GB offer as free forever.

Paid plan prices are not published, so there’s no reliable tier-to-tier price jump to compare. Monthly and annual rates are also unpublished; don’t assume an annual discount or a set price for adding storage. No paid add-ons are listed in the published pricing data. If you need more than 10 GB, you can’t calculate the cost of moving up from the information available.

For a free personal drive, the cost is clear. Before moving a larger library, confirm Koofr’s current paid storage options and renewal terms directly. The pricing details were checked November 7, 2026, with medium confidence.

05Switching to (or from) Koofr

Koofr supports access to favorite cloud accounts across devices in one app and one search, which may help consolidate cloud access. The published information does not explain bulk-import tools, export formats, sync behavior during migration, or how account closure works. Verify those details before moving a large library; access to connected cloud accounts does not necessarily mean files are copied into Koofr.

Koofr says it does not keep hidden copies after deletion, while the Free plan lists seven-day deleted-file retention. Ask how that retention works before relying on it. Koofr Vault is client-side encrypted, but export and recovery steps are not published on the vendor's site. Try those steps with a small set of files before committing important data. The Free plan’s public links are time-limited to 14 days, so plan to replace or update any links you still need.

No Reddit posts or comments were included in the published material, so we can’t attribute reasons for leaving to Reddit users. Paid prices are also unpublished, which makes cost comparisons harder.

From the threadsWhat users say

Reddit sentiment is generally favorable on Koofr’s reliability, backups, and syncing, though users disagree about its speed. The recurring caveat is encryption: users say standard Koofr storage is not end-to-end encrypted, while Vault is the encrypted option.

Questions people ask

Is Koofr end-to-end encrypted?

Koofr’s standard cloud storage is not end-to-end encrypted, according to users comparing it with E2EE services. Koofr Vault is the separate client-side encrypted option for files you want protected that way. Don’t assume every file you sync is in Vault: it is the privacy-focused option, not the default for ordinary storage.

How much free storage does Koofr include, and what are the limits?

Koofr lists 10 GB free forever. The Free plan includes unlimited file size, 50 GB of daily public transfer, seven-day deleted-file retention, and up to 10 public links that expire after 14 days. Those are the published Free-plan limits; paid-plan storage and feature caps are not provided in the published pricing information.

What does Koofr cost?

Koofr’s Free plan is free forever. Monthly and annual prices for paid plans are not published on the vendor's site, so we can’t give a current paid price. Reddit users discuss a 1 TB StackSocial lifetime deal and a 2.5 TB per-account ceiling for that offer, but those are reseller-deal details, not a current price quote.

Is Koofr good for syncing and backups?

Several Reddit users say Koofr works well for backups and folder syncing, and one describes it as reliable. Reports on speed conflict: one user calls it fast, while another says it was significantly slower than alternatives. That is anecdotal, not a measured guarantee; check whether its sync performance fits your network and files before switching.

Does Koofr scan files or keep deleted copies?

Koofr says it does not track activity, scan files, or keep hidden copies after deletion. That is the provider’s stated privacy position, not an independent audit in the material here. The Free plan separately lists seven-day deleted-file retention, so check how the deleted-file window works for your account and what files you place in Vault.
