Tresorit is encrypted cloud storage for people who want files available across desktop and mobile devices. It suits individuals and organizations that value zero-knowledge encryption and need plans scaled to personal or team storage. Its strongest case is privacy paired with broad platform support; its limits are the small entry quota and plan-specific caps on file size, devices, and versions.

Overview

Tresorit was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. Its freemium model includes a free plan and a 14-day trial. Zero-knowledge encryption is a meaningful draw for privacy-conscious users, while the absence of file versioning in the general feature set makes version history a plan-dependent consideration: only some personal tiers specify previous versions.

Key features

• Zero-knowledge encryption: A strong fit when keeping stored files private is a priority.
• Business admin controls: Adds organizational oversight for teams, though the available plan facts do not detail the controls.
• Plan-specific version history: Personal Lite includes five previous versions, Essential includes ten, and Pro includes 25. Basic and the business tiers do not specify version counts, so users who need recovery points should compare those limits before choosing.
• File and device caps: Basic's 500 MB file ceiling and two-device allowance are restrictive for large transfers or multi-device users. Higher personal plans raise the file ceiling to 10 GB and allow up to ten devices.

Pricing

Plan prices are custom pricing. The free Basic plan gives 3 GB of storage, accepts files up to 500 MB, supports two devices, and allows 10 active encrypted links. It is suitable for light use, but the storage and file caps leave little room for large files or growing libraries.

Personal Lite provides 50 GB, a 2 GB file limit, two devices, and five previous versions. It suits modest personal storage, but retains the two-device cap. Personal Essential raises the allowance to 1 TB, 10 GB per file, ten devices, and ten previous versions, making it the more flexible fit for a larger personal library. Personal Pro doubles storage to 4 TB and raises previous versions to 25 while keeping the same 10 GB file and ten-device limits.

Professional offers 4 TB and a 10 GB file limit for one user, a business-oriented single-user option. Business starts at three users with at least 6 TB of storage and a 15 GB file limit. Business Pro starts at five users with at least 15 TB and a 20 GB file limit. Those minimum seats and starting capacities make the business tiers better aligned with teams than solo users.

Platforms

Tresorit supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as iOS and Android. That range suits people who work across computer and mobile operating systems rather than one device family.

Who it's for

Choose Tresorit if encrypted storage, zero-knowledge protection, and access across major desktop and mobile platforms matter more than a low-friction entry quota. Individuals can match storage and version limits to their needs; teams can consider business plans with admin controls and multi-user minimums. It is less compelling for users whose files exceed the plan's maximum size or who need a specific version-history allowance that their chosen tier does not provide.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Zero-knowledge encryption supports a privacy-focused storage choice.
• Pro: Five operating systems cover a broad mix of personal and work devices.
• Pro: Personal tiers scale from 50 GB to 4 TB and specify version-history allowances on three tiers.
• Con: Basic's 3 GB quota and 500 MB file limit constrain larger libraries and files.
• Con: Device allowances vary from two to ten, and some tiers do not state a version-history count.
• Con: Business plans require at least three or five users, which may not suit smaller teams.

Verdict

Tresorit is a strong choice for privacy-conscious individuals and teams who need encrypted storage across desktop and mobile platforms. Zero-knowledge encryption is its clearest reason to choose it, but small entry limits, variable device and version allowances, and minimum business seats make it worth comparing plans carefully. Look elsewhere if those caps conflict with your file sizes, storage needs, or team size.
