Service summary
NordLocker is a subscription cloud-storage platform built to protect user privacy and secure personal files. It lets you back up, store, and retrieve documents from the cloud while focusing on keeping data confidential and inaccessible to unauthorized parties.
Security architecture and encryption
The service employs modern cryptographic methods to safeguard files:
- Ed25519 for key signing and identity verification
- xChaCha20-Poly1305 for authenticated encryption
- AES-256 for robust symmetric encryption
NordLocker uses a zero-knowledge approach, meaning the provider does not hold the keys and cannot read your stored content.
Access, synchronization, and storage management
NordLocker supports access across multiple device types and keeps your files in sync so they’re available when needed:
- Mobile apps for on-the-go access
- Desktop clients for local integration
- Web access for quick retrieval from any browser
Keeping data in the cloud also helps free up space on local drives by storing large files remotely while still making them available across your devices.
Alternative option
If you prefer a free service, MediaFire (Free tier) can serve as a basic alternative for simple file hosting and sharing needs.
