Internxt is a Valencia-based zero-knowledge encrypted cloud-storage product operated by Internxt Universal Technologies S.L. (VAT B98936354), founded in 2020 by Fran Villalba Segarra (CEO), currently with a team of approximately 30 and more than 1 million active users. The product covers Drive, Send (file transfer), VPN, Antivirus, Cleaner, Mail, and Meet across a single privacy-focused account, positioning itself as a European Mega / Tresorit / Proton Drive challenger with two structural differentiators: fully open-source code (publicly auditable on GitHub) and post-quantum cryptography (Kyber-512 alongside AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit). Internxt was the first cloud-storage vendor to ship post-quantum protection across consumer tiers, and the codebase has been independently audited by Securitum (2024).
For an EU-sovereignty audit Internxt stands out for two reasons. First, ownership: Spanish founder-controlled with no venture-capital or private-equity investors on the cap table, financially stable, 100% YoY growth. Second, compliance: ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, HIPAA-aligned, GDPR-compliant, Spanish DPO via Egida (legal@egida.es), terms last updated January 2026. The infrastructure side is a distributed-node architecture with servers in multiple countries rather than a single EU-locked region, a choice driven by encryption philosophy: because every file is encrypted on the device before upload and the encryption keys never leave the user, plaintext customer content cannot be read by any node operator anywhere in the world. This makes the multi-region distribution a minor CLOUD Act flag rather than material (the threat model assumes the encryption stands).
Pricing in EUR is a hybrid of subscription and lifetime: 1 GB encrypted free; Essential 1 TB at a regular €9.99/month billed annually (€120/year). Internxt bills annually or as a one-time lifetime purchase. There is no month-to-month plan, so the per-month figure is the annual price divided over twelve months. The headline rates advertised on the site (often ~€1-4/month) are first-year promotional prices that renew at the full ~€9.99/month after the first term; Premium and Ultimate tiers scale to multi-TB; lifetime plans are a signature offering: one-time payment for permanent access up to 5 TB per plan, stackable across multiple plans with the same email up to 100 TB total. 30-day money-back guarantee. Best fit: privacy-first individuals and SMBs that want a Spanish-founded open-source alternative to Dropbox / iCloud / Google Drive with the option to escape subscriptions via lifetime plans, post-quantum protection, and verifiable code.
