| Criterion | Helvedrive Premium offering on quote | Infomaniak kDrive | Dropbox | Proton Drive | Tresorit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Positioning | Document confidentiality with deployment, governance and security follow-up per organisation. | Storage and collaboration in Swiss data centres. | Synchronisation and collaboration with an ecosystem of integrations. | Encrypted storage and collaboration within the Proton ecosystem. | Encrypted sharing, collaboration and document governance. |
| Content encryption | Vault architecture: encryption and decryption on authorised devices, before the encrypted files are stored. | At rest and in transit; E2EE still announced as in preparation in the official comparison consulted. | E2EE for team folders on Business Plus, Advanced and Enterprise, according to the documentation consulted. | End-to-end encryption announced for files. | End-to-end encryption and a zero-knowledge model announced. |
| Document location | Infomaniak selected for future document storage and backups in Switzerland. Public website kept separate. | Document storage and processing stated to be exclusively in Switzerland. | United States and, for eligible teams, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia or Japan. The official list consulted does not offer a Swiss region. | The Drive privacy policy states servers in Switzerland, Germany or Norway. | Several regions possible, including Switzerland depending on the options. The documentation states a Microsoft Azure infrastructure. |
| Key custody | Keys controlled by the organisation; authorised devices and key recovery separate from account recovery. | Encryption at rest is not enough to establish exclusive key custody by the client. | For E2EE folders, only members hold the keys; administrators manage recovery. | Proton states that it cannot decrypt the E2EE content of files. | The documentation states that encryption keys are unknown to the server; recovery policies need to be examined. |
| Access governance | Passkeys, revocable sessions, permissions by organisation and client file. SSO and access lifecycle in Enterprise. | Two-factor authentication and action history. | E2EE device enrolment and recovery by administrators. | Permissions by role or group; revocable links with password and expiry. | User administration and device revocation, depending on the plan. |
| Collaboration and sharing | Drive and portals for authorised exchanges; Vault kept separate from AI processing and server-side analysis. | Sharing, collaborative editing and drop boxes. | Team space; sharing and processing restrictions in E2EE folders. | Collaborative files, documents and spreadsheets. | Sharing, file requests and e-signatures, depending on the plan. |
| Continuity and recovery | Separate backup account at Infomaniak; recovery procedure and quarterly exercise in Enterprise. | Copies in at least three locations, across several Swiss data centres. | Administrator recovery key to regain access to E2EE folders. | Version history to revert to an earlier copy. | Version history and restoration of deleted files that have not been permanently erased. |
| Deployment and support | Scoping, permission configuration, bounded migration, training and reporting. Dedicated contact in Enterprise. | Infomaniak apps and assistance; Premium support offered. | Web and desktop apps; mobile access to E2EE folders via the browser. | Web, desktop and mobile apps; business support online, by email or via a scheduled call. | Custom deployment, training and a dedicated account manager in suitable plans, notably Enterprise. |
| Billing | Confidential from 490 CHF/month excl. VAT; Enterprise from 1,490 CHF/month excl. VAT; Dedicated from 4,900 CHF/month excl. VAT. Price per organisation, deployment billed separately. | Solo, Team or Pro subscriptions, depending on the team and storage. | Individual, team and Enterprise plans, depending on the plan chosen. | Drive plans for business and the Proton for Business suite. | SecureCloud licences for business and Enterprise plans. |
