## The panel's verdict

Internxt Drive is zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted cloud storage from Internxt Universal Technologies SL of Valencia, Spain. Strongest is encryption and security at 6 to 8: client-side AES-256, keys stored only on the device, a Kyber 512 post-quantum scheme, a passed Securitum audit with publicly readable reports, and open-source code on GitHub. Weakest are sharing and collaboration at 3 to 4 and administration and governance, flat at 4: password-protected sharing and an encrypted Send service are documented, but we found no public information on link expiry, download limits, view-only links, upload requests, co-editing, provisioning, retention policies or remote wipe. Sovereignty scores spread 4 to 6: higher readings credit the Spanish legal basis, a downloadable data processing agreement and a published subprocessor list; lower ones point to data centres described only as "Europe and other locations worldwide". Personal prices are public — a free 1GB tier, "Starting at € 1.99 /month", Essential € 380 with 1TB — but per-user business pricing and VAT treatment are not, and captured pages show both 80% and 85% off. Weighted totals run 4.4 to 5.5.

**Speaks for it:**
- Zero-knowledge client-side AES-256 encryption with Kyber 512 post-quantum key encapsulation and keys stored only on the device
- Independent Securitum audit passed with no significant issues and reports that are publicly readable
- All code published open-source on GitHub
- Files reachable through open protocols — WebDAV, Rclone, a command-line tool and NAS — so data is not locked to vendor apps
- Spanish contracting entity under Spanish law with a downloadable data processing agreement and a published subprocessor list with prior notice and objection rights

**Held against it:**
- Beyond password-protected sharing and a separate encrypted Send service, no public information on link expiry, download limits, view-only links, upload requests or co-editing
- Administration documented as a root user managing members in four roles plus business access logs, with no public information on provisioning, retention policies, legal hold or remote wipe
- Data centres described only as "Europe and other locations worldwide", with none named
- No public information on per-user business pricing or VAT treatment, and the captured pages give different discount figures, 80% off and 85% off
- No public information on key recovery for a lost device, version history length or single sign-on, and the named ISO 27001 and SOC 2 appear without a stated scope

**Best for:**
- You need independently verifiable end-to-end encryption — a passed Securitum audit with publicly readable reports, on open-source code — for confidential files
- Your team wants storage reachable through WebDAV, Rclone, a command-line tool or NAS rather than one vendor's apps
- You buy as an individual or small team on published personal prices, with a free 1GB tier and a 30-day money-back guarantee to test
- You want a Spanish contracting entity with a downloadable data processing agreement and a published subprocessor list with objection rights

**Avoid if:**
- You need data-room controls such as link expiry, download limits, view-only links or co-editing, where the documented sharing is password-protected links plus a separate encrypted Send service
- You need directory provisioning, retention with legal hold or remote wipe — the documented administration is a root user managing members in four roles plus business access logs
- You must pin storage to named EU data centres; the pages describe them only as "Europe and other locations worldwide"
- You need predictable team costs under heavy usage — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it

## Scores by judge and criterion

Scores out of 5, each judge scoring independently against the published rubric (v1). "n/r" = not rated: the vendor publishes no price, or the judge found no public information on that criterion.

### The judges

- **The IT Lead** (v1.0): Runs IT with one colleague for a 180-person machine builder with three sites and a sales office in Poland. Is retiring the old file server and wants every account provisioned from Entra ID, team folders that stay with the company when someone leaves, an audit log they can hand to the auditor, a lost laptop wiped remotely, and a way back to the last clean state if ransomware ever encrypts a share.
- **The Data Protection Officer** (v1.0): External data protection officer for a hospital group, two care providers and a payroll bureau, where the files are patient letters and salary statements. Reads who holds the keys before the feature page, asks whether end-to-end encryption survives a share link and the office editor, and wants the subprocessor list, the storage location and the contracting entity in writing before a single folder moves.
- **The Architecture Practice Partner** (v1.0): Partner in a 25-person architecture practice in Hamburg whose CAD and BIM models run to several gigabytes each, worked on from the office, from home and on the building site. Needs files on demand so laptops do not fill up, sync that sends only what changed, a drive letter the CAD software accepts, phones that open plans offline in a basement, and structural engineers who can pick up a folder without an account.
- **The Tax Adviser** (v1.0): Runs a tax practice with eleven staff and 400 clients, bound by professional secrecy under §203 StGB. Receives receipts, payslips and annual accounts from clients who will not install anything, and sends back drafts that must not end up in a forwarded email. Needs upload links, shares with expiry and passwords, a record of who downloaded what, and a provider that cannot read the files it stores.
- **The Agency Producer** (v1.0): Producer at a 30-person video and design agency in Cologne that sends cuts, layouts and raw footage to customers every day and collects their feedback. Wants review links that play in the browser, comments on the file, transfers of 100 GB that do not stall, freelancers added for one project and removed after it, connections to Slack and the project tool, and a storage bill that does not jump when one shoot fills a terabyte.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has seen "end-to-end encrypted" on a service that switches it off for shared folders, "hosted in Germany" on storage whose accounts and support run from the US, and "lifetime" plans from a company two years old. Reads that a product is "GDPR-compliant" and asks who holds the keys, whether ten years of folders, versions and shares can be exported in a form another provider imports — and what leaving would cost.
