# Cloud Storage Alternatives — DragBin vs Legacy Providers

Most popular cloud storage services — Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud — rely on server-side encryption, expose metadata, and charge per-user. DragBin takes a different approach: end-to-end post-quantum encryption, encrypted metadata, unified team pricing, and a zero-knowledge architecture that means the provider cannot read your files.

## Why DragBin is a secure cloud storage alternative

- End-to-end encryption protecting files and metadata.
- Zero-knowledge architecture with no provider access.
- Quantum-resistant cryptography (ML-KEM + AES-256) implemented early.
- Encrypted edge CDN for fast global delivery.
- Shared storage pool instead of per-user seat pricing.
- Up to 80% lower storage and egress costs.
