About Jottacloud
Jottacloud is a cloud storage and backup service that lets users store, access, and manage files and photos in one place. It offers automatic backup, version history, sharing, and an archive for infrequently used files, with data stored in Norway and protected by Norwegian and European GDPR privacy laws. The service emphasizes sustainability, running on 100% renewable hydropower with seawater cooling. Plans range from a free 5 GB tier to an Unlimited plan for individuals, a Home plan for families, and a Pro 10 TB plan licensed for commercial use. Jottacloud highlights speed, original/uncompressed file quality, and AI-powered photo search that does not train on users’ photos. The company positions itself as a privacy-focused, high‑performance alternative to mainstream cloud storage and backup providers.
