What does your library really cost?
Every provider stays visible. When no exact tier exists, we show a clear estimated cost for the selected storage.
Monthly list-price comparison, checked August 2026. Estimated prices for the selected capacity are based on each provider’s published plans and are labeled as estimates. When the selected capacity is below a provider’s minimum, its lowest available plan is shown. Regional tax, discounts and promotions can change.

No advertising profile and no AI model training on the files you store with InfiniDrive.
Built for heavy media

Switch at your own pace
Your file structure stays yours.

Straight answers
Before you move a single file.
No vague “military-grade” claims. Here is what the comparison means in practice.
How does InfiniDrive encryption compare with iCloud?
Both can protect file contents with end-to-end encryption. iCloud Drive requires optional Advanced Data Protection; availability varies, and some metadata, iWork collaboration and anyone-with-the-link sharing remain outside E2EE. InfiniDrive encrypts file contents and names on your device.
Can InfiniDrive read my encrypted files?
No. Your device encrypts file contents and names before upload, and InfiniDrive does not hold the keys to decrypt them. Account details and operational metadata, such as encrypted sizes and transfer times, remain visible to run the service.
What if I forget my encryption passphrase?
Keep your recovery key somewhere safe. It can unlock your encryption keys if you forget your passphrase. InfiniDrive cannot recover encrypted files if you lose both; resetting your account password does not decrypt them.
How are annual savings calculated?
We multiply the displayed monthly difference by 12. Estimated prices are calculated for the selected storage from each provider’s published plans. Taxes, annual discounts and temporary promotions are excluded.
How does InfiniDrive protect data in transit?
InfiniDrive protects data in transit with TLS 1.3 across the website, drive, account panel and status page. Automated certificate management and strict transport-security headers help prevent interception and downgrade attacks, while outdated clients that cannot negotiate modern TLS are refused.
Can I use InfiniDrive like a normal disk?
Yes. The macOS app uses Apple File Provider and the Windows app uses the Cloud Files API, so InfiniDrive appears in Finder or File Explorer and downloads files on demand.
Is there a fee to download or share my files?
Personal plans do not add a separate metered egress charge. Normal service protections and the Acceptable Use Policy still apply, but there is no surprise per-gigabyte download invoice.
