Why /e/cloud?

/e/ is not only a great degoogled operating system, it is also a great set of online services, called /e/ cloud.

We felt that if we stopped at the OS, we were leaving many users without options for their emails and cloud storage, but to use proprietary solutions like Google Docs or Microsoft Office 365. So our efforts to bring people to a more privacy-friendly environment would be in vain. Here is where /e/cloud comes in.

/e/cloud is your personal email account, your agenda and contacts, your drive on the cloud and your online office suite, all combined in one single service, simple to use. /e/ cloud is powered by proven open source like NextCloud and OnlyOffice. With 35,000 active users and counting, /e/ cloud has you covered.

It is built on the same privacy by design principles as /e/OS. We don’t scan your data, we don’t log your app usage, we don’t sell your data, we don’t use ads in our online services.

Clearly, /e/cloud is one of many alternatives available today, but it is the only one that integrates seamlessly with /e/OS.

And while /e/cloud has been developed as an extension of /e/OS, to let you have everything you need to get things done on the go from on your phone, this online suite can also be used without /e/OS.

We would love for you to try it and join the family.

What will you find in /e/cloud?

Your personal email account

With /e/cloud, you have your own personal email ID ending in @e.email. We do not scan your emails or include ads anywhere.

Your e.email account is accessible directly in /e/OS, or via an email client like Thunderbird or from your web browser at https://ecloud.global

Every /e/cloud account comes with 1 GB of free storage space! We also have paid plans if you need more storage space.

Your agenda and contacts

Your agenda on /e/cloud allows you to create specific personal and professional schedules, set up meetings and invite contacts, share calendars with them, and more.

Your contacts on /e/cloud allow you to stay organized and up to date on all of your devices. They can also be synchronized to your smartphone from the server with no extra hassle.

Your drive in the cloud

/e/cloud comes with a secured storage to access your files, sync and backup files from your phone or conveniently share with anyone you want.

Your files are seamlessly synced and always available to you, on-the-go with your smartphone or through the browser of your choice.

Your online office suite

/e/cloud is also a powerful suite of online tools to create, edit and share documents, spreadsheets and even presentations slides.

Our commitments to you

We do not read or scan your data. We do not use ads in our online services. We don’t sell your personal data. Period.

Your files are encrypted with server-side-encryption on our servers, located in Europe.

We are fully compliant with GDPR.

We aim to limit our footprint so all our /e/cloud servers are powered by energy from renewables sources.

What are you waiting for? Every /e/cloud account comes with 1 GB of free storage space!
