Mainstream providers
Google Drive & OneDrive often gather usage data and may share it within their ecosystems; WhatsApp & Telegram log metadata like phone numbers or IP addresses for analytics or anti-spam measures.
Google Drive & OneDrive don’t show in-app ads but can leverage data for targeted ads elsewhere in their broader ecosystems. WhatsApp is owned by Meta, which mines user data; Telegram claims no ads in standard chats yet collects user metadata.
Google Drive & OneDrive store keys server-side and scan files for policy breaches. WhatsApp & Telegram manage account recovery or can ban/revoke access if they deem necessary.
Google Drive & OneDrive can access user content to check for Terms of Service violations. WhatsApp has encryption for chats but not backups or metadata. Telegram stores most chats on servers unencrypted by default.
Google Drive & OneDrive require email-based sign-ups, tying your data to personal credentials. WhatsApp & Telegram need phone numbers for verification, linking chats to a SIM.
Google Drive & OneDrive typically hold or generate server-side keys. WhatsApp & Telegram manage encryption keys and can store backups on third-party servers or your phone’s cloud backups.
Google Drive & OneDrive local folders can be unencrypted unless you enable OS-level encryption. WhatsApp & Telegram offline backups often rely on phone settings and aren’t fully encrypted.
Google Drive & OneDrive rely on passwords + optional 2FA. WhatsApp & Telegram mandate phone-based verification or PINs, both vulnerable to SIM swaps or credential leaks.
Google Drive & OneDrive use email/phone-based recovery, risking phishing or account takeover. WhatsApp & Telegram depend on phone number resets that can fail if your SIM is hijacked.
Google Drive & OneDrive are file-focused, lacking robust real-time chat. WhatsApp & Telegram excel at messaging but don’t offer true zero-knowledge cloud storage or default encryption on all files.
Google Drive & OneDrive may encrypt data in transit/at rest but can still scan or decode it. WhatsApp doesn’t encrypt metadata or backups, Telegram only uses E2E in secret chats.
Google Drive & OneDrive handle files but lack integrated chat. WhatsApp & Telegram handle chat but not advanced file management.
Google Drive & OneDrive can be friendly but require sign-ups, passwords, and ecosystem tie-ins. WhatsApp & Telegram rely on phone numbers, multiple verification steps, and limited file-sharing methods.
Why it matters
You remain free from hidden profiling. No one builds an advertising or analytics profile around your activity, so you stay in control of your own digital footprint.
Without ads, your privacy isn’t compromised for profit. You aren’t subjected to pushy promotions or data-harvesting aimed at monetising your attention.
You decide exactly who can see or change your data. No external authority can unlock or wipe your files, giving you total ownership and peace of mind.
Truly private content stays in your hands. A zero-knowledge approach means not even IDZ can see your data, sharply reducing the impact of any potential breach or insider threat.
The less personal info you share, the fewer risks of identity leaks, spam, or targeted ads. You decide how much, or how little, of yourself to reveal.
When only you possess the keys, nobody else can decrypt your files behind your back. Your privacy isn’t dependent on a provider’s internal policies or security practices.
Even if someone steals your device, your data remains locked down. You’re safeguarded from local snooping, offline hacks, or accidental leaks.
Passwords are a frequent weak point. Removing them means fewer resets, fewer hacks, and a more seamless, secure login for everyone.
Only you can restore access, so there’s no “forgot password” backdoor for hackers. You stay in total control of your account, no matter what.
Combining both in a single app cuts down on juggling multiple tools – and drastically reduces any chance of data slipping through unencrypted channels.
A fully encrypted ecosystem keeps criminals, eavesdroppers, and internal prying eyes out of your private files. Everything is locked down, end to end.
Simplify your digital life. One app for all your core tasks means fewer security blind spots and a unified, private space.
Anyone can get started immediately. Removing barriers like passwords and personal data entry means robust privacy without the headache – perfect for both beginners and power users.
