Tresorit is an online cloud storage service based in Switzerland and Hungary that emphasizes increased security and data encryption for Businesses and individuals/freelancers. Business Version offers up to 1 TB of storage per user (Solo version offers 2 TB for one user) and additional security features such as DRM, granular access levels and other functions aimed at creating a more secure collaborative environment. Tresorites have been likened to high security alternatives to Dropbox.
The Tresorit service is accessible through client desktop software, web-based apps, and mobile apps. Currently, the software is available for Windows, MacOS, Android, Windows Phone 8, iOS, and Linux.

History
Tresorit was founded in 2011 by Hungary's Istvan Lam programmer, who remains the CEO, Szilveszter Szebeni, who is currently CIO and Gyorgy Szilagyi, who is the company's CPO.
Tresorit officially launched its client-side encrypted cloud storage service after it emerged from its stealth beta in April 2014.
In August 2015, Wuala (owned by LaCie and Seagate), the pioneer of secure cloud storage, announces the closure of its services after 7 years, and recommends their users to select Tresorit as their secure cloud alternative.
At the end of 2016, Tresorit launches a beta of the ZeroKit software development tool (SDK). In January 2017, the Apple CareKit SDK project announced options for mobile app developers using CareKit to integrate ZeroKit, allowing zero user authentication and encryption knowledge for medical and health applications.

Technology
Tresorit encrypts files using client-side encryption with AES-256 before uploading it. The files are also secured by the HMAC message authentication code applied to the SHA-512 hash.
"Tresors" (German for vault) is an encrypted partner of the uploaded directory. Recipients will automatically sync with the cloud because files are added or removed from them, similar to Box.com and Dropbox desktop software. The main difference between Tresorit and its competitors is that Tresorit implements AES-256 client-side encryption to a file when they are local and then uploads it to the cloud. The company claims that due to end-to-end encryption, users can share protected files and folders with others and work together on them, keeping the documents synced and secure at every step of the process. There is an additional layer of security, but the core privacy feature of this service is that the encryption key never leaves the user: Using the Zero-Knowledge encryption protocol, Tresorit does not have user authentication data, so the file contents can not be accessed from their servers or sent to the authority upon request.
Hacking contest
In 2013 and 2014, Tresorit hosts a hacking contest that offers $ 10,000 to anyone who hacked their data encryption method to gain access to their servers. After a few months, the prize was raised to $ 25,000 and then $ 50,000, challenging experts from institutions like Harvard, Stanford, or MIT. The contest lasts for 468 days and according to the company, no one can break the encryption.
Reception
Tresorit has received a number of nominations and awards. Up-Cloud Rewards named it as one of the top 5 Cloud security solutions for 2012. Beginning 2016, Forbes noted one of Tresorit Istvan Lam's founders among Europeans "30 under 30". In 2017, Tresorit is listed as a finalist at the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, the Encryption category.
