FAQ
The most common questions Americans ask about Internxt
Most-searched questions, per Sistrix
Can I use Internxt on multiple devices?
Yes. Internxt has apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS and the web, all linked to a single account, so you can access and sync your files across as many devices as you like. Sign in on each device and your storage stays in step. That broad platform support — Linux included — is one area where Internxt beats several bigger rivals that skip native Linux apps.
How does Internxt work?
Internxt encrypts your files on your own device and splits them into fragments before uploading, then distributes those encrypted pieces across its storage network — an approach it calls zero-knowledge, fragmented storage. Because the fragments are encrypted and scattered, and only you hold the key, no one at Internxt (or anyone who reached a single server) can reassemble or read your files. You just see a normal drive; the privacy engineering happens invisibly in the background. The apps are open source, so the process can be independently checked.
How safe is Internxt?
Very safe. Internxt is open source, so anyone can audit its code, and it applies zero-knowledge, end-to-end encryption by default — your files are encrypted before they leave your device. It's based in Spain, so it operates under EU/GDPR privacy law. That combination of open code, default E2E and EU jurisdiction is hard to beat. As always with zero-knowledge, the catch is that only you hold the key, so guard your password and recovery details carefully.
What is the cost of Internxt?
Internxt has a free plan with 1 GB to try it out. Paid subscriptions start at US$9.99/mo, billed annually, and it also sells one-time lifetime plans if you'd rather pay once than subscribe forever. Prices and promotions change, so check the latest on Internxt's official site. For open-source, zero-knowledge storage it's competitively priced — and the lifetime option can be excellent value over several years.
Where is Internxt from?
Internxt is a Spanish startup, founded in Valencia in 2017. Being EU-based means it operates under GDPR, which is a genuine plus for anyone who cares about strong, legally backed data privacy.
