Scramble Cloud

Scramble Cloud is a secure storage service for teams managing documents, backups, images and video. It is best suited to organizations that need controlled sharing and Microsoft 365 integration, though personal users can use it for smaller storage needs. The strongest case is its combination of zero-knowledge encryption, generous business quotas and open-ended file transfer; the main caution is the seat minimum and setup charge on team plans.

Overview

Scramble Cloud uses zero-knowledge, end-to-end encryption with AES 256-bit encryption. Files are stored in ISO 27001-certified data centers in Germany, with redundancy elsewhere in Europe. That is a sensible foundation for sensitive business material and gives German-hosted storage a clear role for teams with data-location requirements.

Sharing works through password-protected private links or direct sharing with other Scramble users. Groups can have separate file and member permissions, so access can be managed by team rather than by handing over an entire account. Encrypted video streaming and private-link video sharing make the service useful for media as well as office files. File size and bandwidth are unlimited on the listed plans, and traffic is free, which matters when large videos or backups are routine.

Key features

Team collaboration

Permission controls give administrators a way to limit who can use shared files. Scramble also offers Microsoft Teams, Outlook and Office 365 integrations, including protected links from Outlook. Its Teams plugin automatically stores data uploaded to Teams for later retrieval. Staff guidance is included for Microsoft onboarding, which should help organizations that want the storage layer fitted into an existing Microsoft workflow.

Access and compatibility

Browser access works without installing software and is available on any device or operating system. The beta desktop client supports Windows, macOS and Linux. WebDAV can expose storage as a network drive, while Rclone support suits command-line and automation-oriented setups; a CLI is marked as coming soon on the relevant plans.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing for one user and includes 10 GB, unlimited file size, bandwidth and file links, plus the web client. It is a practical way to send files or test the service, but desktop, WebDAV and Rclone access require a paid tier.

Starter costs €0.95 a month for one user and 100 GB; Pro is €1.95 a month for 200 GB; Pro ll is €4.95 a month for 500 GB; and Pro lll is €8.95 a month for 2 TB. These individual tiers include WebDAV and Rclone support, with the CLI still coming soon. They suit one-person archives or workspaces, with the lower tiers trading capacity for a lower monthly bill.

Premium costs 279.95 EUR once for one user and 6 TB with lifetime access, WebDAV and Rclone included. It favors a buyer who prefers a large one-time payment, but the upfront commitment is substantial.

Teams costs €4 a month from three users, with 200 GB per user, unlimited file size and bandwidth, and a 199€ setup fee. Companies costs €12 a month from three users and provides 2 TB per user with the same unlimited transfer terms, plus a 99€ setup fee. Enterprise has custom pricing, starts at three users, offers unlimited storage, file size and bandwidth, and shows a 99€ setup fee. These plans make sense when per-user capacity and Microsoft onboarding justify the fixed setup cost; a single user should avoid paying for seats they do not need.

Platforms

Scramble Cloud runs on Linux, macOS, Windows and the web. The browser client covers devices where installation is undesirable, while the beta desktop client and WebDAV/Rclone options provide more integrated desktop and technical access.

Who it's for

Choose Scramble for a team handling confidential files, frequent large transfers or Microsoft-based collaboration. It also works for personal, family and work files when encrypted storage is the priority. It is less convincing for a casual individual who needs only a small, inexpensive backup and has no use for permissions, video sharing or Microsoft integration.

Pros and cons

Pros

Zero-knowledge, end-to-end AES 256-bit encryption protects sensitive content.

Unlimited file size and bandwidth support large backups and video workflows.

Groups, member permissions and password-protected links provide practical sharing control.

WebDAV, Rclone and Microsoft integrations broaden workflow options.

Cons

Team plans require at least three users and add setup fees.

The desktop client is beta, and the CLI is not yet available.

Lower-cost individual plans do not include the team-oriented administration and integrations.

Alternatives

For a wider comparison, see Secure Cloud Storage.

Plient is a better fit if you want mobile apps, self-hosting and a free 5 GB encrypted plan with WebDAV and CLI access. Choose Internxt Drive if publicly available, externally audited code matters more than Scramble's Microsoft workflow. Filen is another freemium encrypted-storage option with AGPL-licensed apps. MEGA suits readers prioritizing a 20 GB free allowance. Cryptee is aimed at users who want open-source software and cryptography, though its free tier is only 100 MB. Ente Photos is the more focused choice for encrypted photo storage and family plans. Hoodik suits someone willing to self-host. InfiniDrive offers a 10 GB free tier with sharing and recovery features.

Verdict

Scramble Cloud is a strong choice for teams that need encrypted, permissioned storage alongside Microsoft tools, especially when unlimited transfer and substantial per-user quotas matter. Look elsewhere if you are a solo user seeking the simplest low-cost backup, or if a three-seat minimum and setup fee do not fit your budget.
