## Why Look for a Cryptomator Alternative?

### Encrypted Cloud Storage

Since Cryptomator is only used to encrypt files before being uploaded elsewhere, there is no option for built in cloud storage. On the other hand, using a client side, [secure cloud storage](/features/secure-cloud-storage/) allows you to store and access your files with ease. Unlike [Google Drive](/alternatives/google-drive/) or [Dropbox](/alternatives/dropbox/) which uses server side encryption, DragBin uses client side encryption and does not store/manage your decryption keys.

### Confidential File Sharing

Cryptomator does not offer a dedicated, built-in file-sharing service with configurable sharing controls. It is much easier to use advanced link management options in a private cloud storage and share your files with utmost confidentiality. For this reason, DragBin offers [secure link sharing](/features/secure-file-sharing/) with password protection, one-time watch, view and download limit, expiring links, geo-restrictions, among others.

### Collaboration and Media Capabilities

Cryptomator focuses on file encryption rather than real-time collaboration or media review workflows. Cloud storage providers like Google Drive allow you to simultaneously edit docs, sheets and other workflow tools. Similarly, DragBin goes beyond cloud storage and sharing by offering encrypted documents and encrypted sheets for real time collaboration.

## How to Choose the Right Cryptomator Alternative?

If you're leaning towards choosing an encrypted cloud storage provider as your Cryptomator alternative, make sure that it uses client side encryption. Dropbox, Google Drive and [OneDrive](/alternatives/onedrive/) may protect your files from external threats but they use server side encryption. This does not guarantee true file privacy since they technically have the ability to decrypt your files using your encryption keys.

### MLKEM Key Encapsulation

Quantum-resistant key encapsulation mechanism securing asymmetric key exchanges against future threats.

### AES-256 Encryption

Industry-standard symmetric encryption with 256-bit keys. Your files are encrypted in transit and at rest.

### Argon2 Key Derivation

Winner of the Password Hashing Competition. Securely derives keys from your password with high computational cost.

Alternatively, you can use other secure cloud storage options like [Proton Drive](/alternatives/protondrive/), DragBin and [Sync](/alternatives/sync/) for your needs. However, most of them lack post quantum encryption and DragBin is among the world's first cloud storage to implement this. Post quantum encryption protects your files from active "[Harvest Now, Decrypt Later](/harvest-now-decrypt-later/)" threats and future quantum threats.

Here are some other factors which you should keep in mind while making your choice :

### Encryption and Privacy

Look for client-side encryption, end-to-end protection, and a clear [privacy policy](/privacy/) that explains how your files and metadata are handled.

### Built-In Cloud Storage

Choose a platform with integrated storage if you want to avoid managing a separate cloud provider alongside your encryption tool.

### Secure File Sharing

Check for password protection, link expiration, access controls and download restrictions to keep shared files under control.

### Collaboration and Usability

Consider built-in search, live collaboration, media review tools and cross-device access to simplify everyday workflows
