Why choose Fibery over Google Docs?

The decisive argument is data jurisdiction. Google Docs is headquartered in US, which means personal data processed through it can be subject to non-EU legal regimes — the US CLOUD Act, FISA 702, or similar laws depending on the provider. After the 2020 Schrems II ruling, EU organisations must carry out a transfer impact assessment for every such data flow.

Fibery removes that overhead. As a Poland-based provider, it operates natively under GDPR, and data stays inside the EU/EEA by default. For regulated sectors — health, public administration, finance — that's not a nice-to-have but a requirement. For everyone else, it's concentration-risk insurance: you avoid depending on a single non-EU jurisdiction that can change the rules without warning.

Frequently asked questions

Is Fibery a good alternative to Google Docs?
Yes — Fibery is one of the top-ranked European alternatives to Google Docs in our directory, covering the same office & collaboration use case. It is headquartered in Poland, keeping your data under EU law by default.
What's the main difference between Fibery and Google Docs?
The biggest difference is jurisdiction: Fibery is based in Poland and operates under GDPR and EU data-protection law, while Google Docs is headquartered in US and may transfer data outside the EU. For regulated industries or organisations following Schrems II guidance, this difference is decisive.
Is Fibery GDPR-compliant?
Fibery is a European company based in Poland, so GDPR compliance is the default operating model — not a bolt-on. No transfer impact assessment is required for EU customers, unlike when using Google Docs.
How do I migrate from Google Docs to Fibery?
Start by exporting your data from Google Docs (most providers offer an export in their settings). Then import into Fibery using its native import tool or migration guide. Running both in parallel for a week catches any feature or workflow gaps before you fully switch.
