HiDrive Business – The ideal cloud storage for your company
Benefit from our flexible Business Cloud. Back up and store important documents or collaborate efficiently on large files in a team – conveniently and securely.
The security of your data is our top priority. That’s why STRATO is regularly certified according to TÜV standards, uses exclusively German server locations and provides secure encryption.
Don’t worry about the security of your data
Security is an important issue for companies, regardless of their size or structure. To reflect these concerns, we voluntarily commit to the highest security standards and comply with German data protection law.
Certification
Your files are stored in accordance with German data protection law and the GDPR. The security and availability of our data centres at STRATO is confirmed by independent TÜV NORD certification according to ISO 27001.
HiDrive has additional Trusted Cloud certification.
It covers aspects such as security, data protection, quality and technical functions.
Exclusively German servers
All files that you upload to HiDrive Business are stored exclusively in Germany. They are kept redundantly in the data centre and not just on one hard drive. The HiDrive platform offers excellent security here, as the data in the Business Cloud is distributed over several hard drives and at different locations in the data centre.
Our data centres are completely climate-neutral, as they run efficiently on green electricity from 100% renewable energy.
Encryption
Data transmissions (data at transit) are protected by the secure encryption method AES-256 via SSL. AES-128 is used to store your data on the platform (data at rest).
Zero-knowledge encryption (end-to-end encryption – E2EE) is another option, which enables you to store files so that no one else can open or read them. The AES-256 and ECDH (Elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman) methods are used in this case. Windows software or the HiDrive apps are used for encrypting and decrypting the data.
Backups
Your data is backed up regularly and automatically. This involves storing snapshots so that the data can be restored at any time. You can adjust the interval in HiDrive to suit your requirements.
Device backupThe device backup function allows you to back up files such as photos, videos and contacts from the local device (Windows, iOS and Android) directly to HiDrive and restore them if necessary.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between HiDrive Consumer and HiDrive Business?
The HiDrive Business Cloud plans address the needs of companies for efficient work and solutions for team collaboration.
The plans include even more storage space than the HiDrive Consumer options and come with more inclusive features. Naturally, the Business Cloud plans can be used away from work as well.
Which is the right HiDrive Business product for me?
We have defined a few criteria to make the choice easier for you or your company:
1. User accountsHow many employees or staff members at your company should have their own account? This depends on the number of Business Cloud user accounts. For instance, you can establish a private area in your Business Cloud for employees or business partners that cannot be accessed by anyone else.
2. Storage spaceWhat kinds of data do you want to store, and how much storage space will this require? HiDrive Business is available in various storage sizes, always without limits on bandwidth and file size.
3. EncryptionDo you want to encrypt your data end to end? This important feature is already included in the HiDrive Business plans.
What kinds of data can I store in HiDrive Business?
You can store any file format – without exceptions – in your STRATO Business Cloud. Whether it’s Word or Excel documents, PDFs, videos or XML files, various image formats, Photoshop or PSD files – they are stored securely in the Business Cloud along with all other formats as well. In other words: You can use a wide variety of programs on any kind of operating system and device to easily access the same secure online storage space whenever and wherever you want.
Storing large files in the cloud is no problem at all with HiDrive: There is no limit on file size. The available storage space available is only limited by the plan you booked. Check our cloud storage prices and pick the option that best suits your needs.
The technical limits on the storage space will not be reached in most cases. For example, you can easily save a large file to the Business Cloud if you want to back up an Adobe Premiere video project with 10 GB or more. You can also upload and save unusually large Photoshop files and then share them on the file server.
There is no limit on the number of files and folders you can upload to the Business Cloud. For instance, you can save thousands of credentials in just one folder: Doing so makes the administration and organisation of your online file storage easy and practical.
How secure is my data in the Business Cloud?
Data protection and security are top priorities. That’s why end-to-end encryption is included in all HiDrive Business plans. This encryption and other measures such as ISO 27001 certification ensure that your data – whether personal or company – is transferred and stored with a professional level of security. In other words: your data is fully protected against unauthorised access or cybercrime. Organised this way, cloud storage is more secure than a local backup in an office drawer.
What’s more, each user has access to their private and public folders as well as to the public folders of other users in the HiDrive Business Cloud package. Not only does this mean effective protection of user data, it also safeguards privacy in the administration of projects and files. Sensitive information such as employee data can be placed in private folders. By contrast, all authorised users can access files that are needed by several people.
