OXU Drive

OXU Drive is a zero-knowledge encrypted vault for your most important files. Everything is encrypted on your device before it's stored or synced — so the cloud, the network, and even we never see your files or your keys. You hold the only key. We can't read your data, and we can't hand it over. WHY OXU DRIVE Most secure storage forces a trade-off: either the provider manages your keys (convenient, but they can decrypt your data) or you go fully offline (private, but no sync). OXU Drive gives you both — strong client-side encryption with seamless multi-device sync. HOW IT WORKS • Encrypt on device — every file is encrypted locally the moment you add it, before it touches storage or the network. • Sync securely — only encrypted data is uploaded. Our servers store ciphertext and nothing else. • Decrypt on device — files are decrypted locally only when you open them. • Restore anywhere — recover access on a new device with your personal Recovery Key. There is no server-side key escrow. KEY FEATURES • Zero-knowledge encryption — keys are generated and stored only on your device. • Encrypted Vaults — protect any file type inside password-protected vaults, each with its own independent keys. • Multi-device sync — access your files across your devices with conflict-aware versioning. • Secure sharing — share files or folders with up to 5 people, with password protection, expiration dates, and Viewer/Editor roles. • Instant lock — seal every vault immediately when you need to. • Recovery key — restore your environment without trusting any server with your keys. • Built for transparency — our cryptography white paper is published for public review. YOUR PRIVACY, BY DESIGN OXU Drive is built so that privacy isn't a setting you turn on — it's the architecture. Because encryption happens before data leaves your device, your files remain unreadable to anyone but you, even in the event of a server breach or a lost device. Download OXU Drive and take back control of your data.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OXU Drive at none against FileLu's 20. OXU Drive also leads on ads (none vs shown). FileLu's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
