Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my data when switching from Dropbox?

No, most services allow you to export your data before closing your account. Follow the steps in our migration guide to safely transfer all your data to Filen.

Is Filen really more private than Dropbox?

Yes, EU-based services like Filen must comply with GDPR, which provides stronger privacy protections. Your data won't be subject to US surveillance laws like the CLOUD Act.

Can I use both services during the transition?

Absolutely! We recommend running both services in parallel during the transition period to ensure everything is set up correctly before fully switching over.

What if I need help during migration?

Most EU alternatives offer customer support and migration assistance. Check Filen's website for their support options, or reach out to their team directly.
