CloudMe vs Jottacloud

CloudMe combines cloud storage, synchronization and file sharing across computers and mobile devices. Users can choose which folders sync to each computer, including keeping personal folders off work machines. Shared project folders let members contribute documents and changes, and people without CloudMe accounts can follow published pages. Scheduled upload-only folders keep an offsite copy; regular two-way synchronization mirrors deletions and is not a backup. The mobile app supports camera roll backup, music and video streaming, sharing, and reading PDFs, documents and other files. CloudMe supports WebDAV clients, and Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote can open, edit and save documents directly to it. It also offers more than 100 API methods through SOAP and REST, plus a Java library. CloudMe says it operates its own data center and hardware in Sweden, within the European Union. The free account includes 3 GB of storage and a 150 MB file size limit. Listed platforms include Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows.

Jottacloud is a cloud storage and backup service that automatically uploads files from devices. The free plan provides 5 GB for one user and backs up all devices. It supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, and file versioning lets users restore older versions. Uploaded files retain their original quality without compression. Data is stored in Norway under Norwegian and European privacy laws; business data sent to or from the service uses 256-bit AES encryption. Business plans accommodate two to unlimited users and allow sharing files of any size. The service also offers AI photo search that locates photos using descriptions and Microsoft Office Online integration for collaborative editing. Jottacloud has provided cloud storage since 2008 and is based in Oslo, Norway. The Unlimited plan costs $12.99 a month, billed annually at USD 129.90/year, for one user; upload speed is gradually reduced after 5 TB. A 1 TB Home plan for five users costs $7.99 a month, billed annually at USD 79.90/year, with no bandwidth limitation.
