Frequently asked questions
OneDrive is cheaper, why pay more?
OneDrive Business is very accessible on paper, but the entry price hides the true cost: mandatory Microsoft 365 commitment for most features, Azure dependency, CLOUD Act exposure, no zero-knowledge encryption. SecuFile bills in CAD, with no third-party license, and a superior security model.
OneDrive has Canadian datacenters, isn't it the same?
Microsoft does run datacenters in Toronto and Québec, but the company is American and subject to the CLOUD Act. A US federal request can compel Microsoft to hand over your data, even when stored in Canada. SecuFile is operated by a Québec company — Canadian jurisdiction, period.
Can we collaborate like in Office 365?
SecuFile is a vault, not an office suite. For real-time document co-editing, OneDrive/Office 365 remains richer. For secure sharing, long-term retention and compliance, SecuFile is purpose-built.
How does SecuFile integrate with my existing tools?
Public REST API, webhooks, Zapier/Make integration, Node.js/Python SDKs, desktop sync (Windows/macOS/Linux). You can also mount your vault as a WebDAV volume.
