I’d heard about Tresorit’s encryption but wasn’t sure I needed it. Tresorit Basic let me try it with no pressure and I was surprised how easy it was. Always on the move, I keep my ID scans and bookings safe and ready. And now I know exactly what I get if I upgrade.

I needed something to secure my work files as well as my personal files and sync across all platforms. (...) I didn’t need a lot of space or anything like that, but I needed something just for me and my files! This app has it all! It has a free tier that is great for my needs!

During exam season, I can’t afford to lose my notes or assignments. Tresorit Basic keeps them safe and just a tap away, so I can focus on studying, not backups.

What's included – the basics that matter

You might have lost important files to an accident or breach, or felt uneasy sending sensitive documents through email. And perhaps you’ve tried other “free” cloud services, only to realize your privacy was the hidden cost. With Tresorit Basic, you get the same world-class security trusted by professionals – without the price tag and with all the essentials you need.

With 3GB of encrypted storage, you can keep your most important files safe and private. So private that even we can’t see them. Send with ease through secure links, only to the people who matter – like passing something hand-to-hand. And wherever life takes you – from coffee shops to lecture halls – your files stay just a tap away, always encrypted. 

Designed for private use, Tresorit Basic leaves out the business extras like advanced collaboration, team management, and full link-sharing. Just a no-pressure way to explore secure storage and sharing. If you need more space or advanced features for private use, explore our plans for individuals.

Your personal files deserve more than “good enough” protection

Tresorit Basic is built for individuals, freelancers, students, and anyone wanting to try Tresorit’s unique security – before committing to a paid plan.

Security you can see. Privacy you can feel

Some files are just too important to risk your passport scans, client proposals, or thesis drafts. With Tresorit Basic, they’re not "just" stored in the cloud, they’re shielded from prying eyes with zero-knowledge end-to-end encryption. Even Tresorit can't see them.

Create your private digital vault in the cloud and enjoy the peace of mind that your files are yours alone.

Tresorit works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and any browser so wherever you go, your important documents travel with you, always encrypted.

Add passwords, track access, or set expiry dates send without second thoughts, knowing your files are always in good hands, even after you hit send.

FAQ

Yes. Tresorit Basic is completely free to use – no trials that expire, no hidden fees, and no credit card needed. It’s designed to let you experience true privacy without pressure, whether you’re a student, freelancer, or just someone who wants peace of mind knowing their files are safe and private.

With Tresorit Basic, you get 3 GB of private, encrypted storage, secure link sharing, free Gmail and Outlook integrations, and access from desktop, mobile, or web. Just the essentials, nothing in your way. It’s designed to give you a secure, easily accessible space for your most important files, while letting you explore how our encryption works in everyday use.

Absolutely. All plans free or paid use the exact same zero-knowledge end-to-end encryption, so your security is never compromised. The moment you hit upload, your files are encrypted on your device. They stay locked while traveling to the cloud and remain fully protected on our servers. Tresorit never has your keys, so only you and the people you choose can access them.

With Basic, you can already experience this world-class protection at no cost. What’s different in paid plans are the extra controls for sharing, like requiring email or disabling downloads on shared links. So free doesn’t mean less safe – it simply gives you a taste of premium protection, while leaving room to upgrade if you need more control. Learn about Tresorit's security.

Tresorit Basic is built for personal use. It gives you the essentials: 3 GB of encrypted storage, uploads up to 500 MB per file, and syncing across 2 devices.

It doesn’t include business-focused features like team management, advanced collaboration tools, or full link-sharing controls. And compared to our paid personal plans, Basic comes with smaller storage limits, fewer devices, and no advanced sharing options.

No. Tresorit Basic isn’t intended for team or business use. It’s designed as a simple way to get a sense of what Tresorit offers - with limited storage and features - if a 14-day trial isn’t enough or if you’d like to explore our approach to privacy before committing.

For long-term use, our paid personal plans include more storage space, device connections, and advanced features. And for business collaboration or team management, see plans for businesses.

Yes. Upgrading is quick and seamless. All your files, links, and settings come with you automatically – nothing gets lost, nothing resets. Start small with Basic, and when you’re ready for more space or advanced features, simply upgrade to your preferred plan. See plans for private use.

Absolutely. Tresorit Basic makes secure sharing easy and intuitive. You can create up to 10 encrypted links per month, each letting you stay in control of who sees your files and for how long – like handing them over in person, but online.

With free Gmail and Outlook plug-ins, you can also encrypt email attachments instantly – so even your inbox becomes a secure space. And if you need to share more frequently or want advanced link controls, our paid plans give you unlimited sharing and extra features.

Free cloud storage isn’t always truly free. Dropbox Basic encrypts your files - but only on their servers. That means Dropbox holds the keys, which allows them to scan, index, or access your files when needed.

Tresorit Basic takes a different approach: it’s built on zero-knowledge end-to end encryption, meaning your files are encrypted on your device before they even touch the cloud. Only you hold the keys. No scanning, no indexing, no surprises. Learn about Tresorit vs Dropbox.
