The uploaded files are transmitted exclusively in encrypted form and are stored in IONOS European data centers, in order to remain GDPR compliant and provide protection against access by unauthorized third parties.

IONOS is also offering up to 2TB of online storage for users who want to upgrade, either because they need to share files larger than 2 GB or make files available for longer than seven days.

HiDrive cloud storage can also be used to share large files and for long-term data storage, costing $10 per month (20 p/m) for the first twelve months
under IONOS Pro package.

For the free HiDrive Share software, theres no need to download an app or desktop programs, although there is an app available for the HiDrive cloud storage product.
