# DragBin vs Google Drive — Secure Google Drive Alternative

DragBin is a zero-knowledge, post-quantum encrypted alternative to Google Drive. Google Drive's server-side key model and ecosystem lock-in trade privacy for convenience. DragBin keeps the convenience while making the provider blind to your data.

## Why switch from Google Drive

- **Server-side accessible keys.** Google holds the keys and can decrypt your files.
- **File metadata and structure exposed.** File names, folder hierarchy, and sharing graph are visible to Google.
- **Content scanning.** Files can be scanned for policy enforcement and AI training signals.
- **No zero-knowledge mode.** Privacy is governed by policy, not cryptography.
- **History of data exposure incidents.** Past breaches and access incidents create ongoing risk.

## DragBin advantages

- **True zero-knowledge** — DragBin cannot read your files.
- **Metadata + filenames encrypted** — not just content.
- **No content scanning, ever** — files are not used for training or policy review.
- **Integrated encrypted edge CDN** — fast, global delivery without sacrificing privacy.
- **Flat pricing** — pay for storage, not headcount.
- **Post-quantum encryption** — ML-KEM + AES-256 protects against future quantum attacks.

## What Google Drive still does well

- Deep ecosystem integration with Google Workspace.
- Real-time document collaboration in Google Docs.

## Who should switch

- Businesses with regulatory or contractual confidentiality obligations.
- Indian companies needing DPDP-compliant storage outside the US tech stack.
- Teams that don't need Google Docs collaboration to be inside the storage layer.
- Anyone uncomfortable with their cloud provider being able to read their files.
