Swedish cloud storage and digital signing under Swedish jurisdiction, eSam-approved
European cloud & hosting alternative based in Sweden.
What Storegate does
Storegate is a Swedish cloud storage and digital signing service founded in 2003 that operates entirely within Sweden under Swedish jurisdiction. The company positions itself as a sovereign alternative to Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive for organizations that need to keep data outside the reach of US extraterritorial laws like the CLOUD Act.
Features
The platform offers file sharing with strong identity verification via BankID and Freja eID, cloud storage with AES-256 encryption, eIDAS-compliant digital signatures, version control, granular access permissions, and team collaboration. Data is automatically replicated across physically separate Swedish datacenters. The service explicitly refuses to scan user content, sell data, or use stored files for AI training.
Regulatory positioning
Storegate is one of only two providers approved by eSamverkansprogrammet (eSam) as a qualified secure-storage partner for Swedish municipalities and regions — a credential that makes it a default choice for public-sector, healthcare, and regulated enterprise buyers. For any Swedish organization that can't legally ship data to US-headquartered clouds, Storegate is effectively the standard answer.
