Compare Onlime with other cloud services
When you choose a cloud service, you choose more than a piece of software. You choose a jurisdiction, a business model and a support culture.
Onlime is Danish cloud storage: your files are stored in Scandinavia, the data center runs on 100% Norwegian hydropower, and support is available in Danish by chat and email. Here you will find detailed comparisons with the most widely used alternatives in Denmark.

Why jurisdiction matters
When your files are stored by an American provider, they are subject to US law, even if the servers are physically located in Europe. The CLOUD Act of 2018 gives US authorities the right to demand access to data from US-based companies, regardless of where the servers are located.
Onlime is a Danish company (CVR 40831193), and your agreement with us is governed by Danish law. Your files are stored in our data center in Stavanger, Norway, where storage is subject to Norwegian law and EEA jurisdiction. The distinction goes beyond legal technicalities and affects who can access your files and under what conditions.
