Internxt Reviews

Cloud storage and backups might be Internxt's main selling points, but the platform also offers other valuable services.

It includes antivirus, VPN, PC cleaner, private web conferencing, and a privacy-focused, login-free AI chat.

The first thing we noticed about Internxt was that its features are scattered across multiple apps, which isn’t ideal.

The cloud storage, antivirus, and cleaner are bundled in the company’s standalone app, the VPN is accessible via a browser extension, and Meet and AI are available as web apps.

Alternatively, you can also access the cloud storage dashboard from a web app.

While splitting features across multiple platforms might not be easy to manage, we do have to say that all apps are well-designed and easy to navigate.

Internxt Drive is built on zero-knowledge and post-quantum security, setting Internxt apart from providers like Google Drive and Dropbox.

It’s also open source, regularly audited, and stores data across multiple servers using sharding and data fragmentation. In essence, hackers would have to breach multiple international servers and reassemble heavily encrypted fragments of your data to steal it.

Files are stored on Internxt Drive’s vault, which uses Kyber 512 post-quantum and AES-256 encryption, making it the first cloud storage solution to use future-proof encryption.

Users can either upload files directly from the web app or use the desktop software.

We recommend using the latter as it allows you to drag files into Internxt's dedicated folder, which is automatically created after downloading and installing the software.

While the service worked most of the time flawlessly, we did experience occasional syncing delays and login issues.

Managing files with Internxt is a breeze, thanks to the app’s intuitive interface.

You can rename, delete, download, share via a link, and check the details of each file and folder from the app.

However, the interface could benefit from subdirectories in the sidebar, enabling users to move files more efficiently via drag-and-drop. As a result, we preferred using Internxt's dedicated folder on the PC for organizing our documents.

Thankfully, there are different workspaces available, allowing users to keep personal, business, and family files separated.

Sharing is also a walk in the park. You can change the general access settings for each file and folder to public or restricted, and also limit access with password protection. Sharing is available via email or by providing a link.

It’s important to note that recipients must be registered with Internxt to access shared files via email and that sharing is limited to files up to 10GB.

There are also upload limits depending on the device you’re using:

• Web: Up to 40GB.
• Windows: Up to 40GB.
• macOS and Linux: Up to 20GB.
• Mobile: Up to 5GB.
• WebDAV: Up to 20GB.

Internxt allows you to select which folders to back up and the upload frequency. It includes options for manual, daily, every 6 hours, or hourly backups.

The service supports unlimited computers, allowing you to choose different backup options for each device.

Even though Internxt has sharing features in the app, it also offers a free service for securely sending files. It works as an alternative to well-known services like WeTransfer.

It’s possible to upload files and folders up to 5GB in size and send them privately via a link or email.

Users can use Internxt to protect and optimize their computers with the service’s antivirus and PC cleaner.

The antivirus includes two scanning options: standard and custom. While standard scans your entire computer, custom lets you select which folder to scan.

After testing the antivirus, it proved effective. It recognized malware test files of all types, including malware hidden within ZIP files.

The PC cleaner is also a good addition to the package. Upon running a scan, it provided a list of categories, each with the disk space it occupied on our hard drive. Afterward, we just had to select what we wanted to clean up, and the software did the rest.

Internxt's VPN is available as a Chrome extension and is limited to five countries. While it’s not as extensive as most VPNs, it offers unlimited bandwidth and runs on a no-logs policy.

We conducted tests in Europe with average download and upload speeds of 648 Mbps and 635 Mbps, and the results weren’t perfect. Overall, we saw a 70% decrease in download and upload speeds, indicating a significant bottleneck.

Since the company doesn’t disclose which encryption protocols it uses, we don’t know whether that’s the issue here. Nonetheless, all connections were 100% secure with no IP leaks.

Internxt Meet is an encrypted video call service that subscribers can use for online meetings.

It’s straightforward and includes all the core features a solution like this calls for, including meeting scheduling and screen sharing.

However, keep in mind that it only supports up to 5 users.

While Internxt's desktop apps include features such as antivirus and PC cleaner, its mobile apps for iOS and Android are limited to cloud storage.

They allow users to preview, move, share, and download files effortlessly. While our tests also showed occasional syncing issues, it worked perfectly most of the time.

While Internxt offers a limited number of integrations, it provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) and supports WebDAV to connect to NAS systems from QNAP and Synology.

Internxt's pricing structure is easy to follow. Users can start with a free plan that includes 1 GB of storage, post-quantum encryption, and the VPN (limited to one location).

Then, there are the paid subscriptions, which include a price reduction of 80%. However, for maximum savings, we recommend using our exclusive discount of 85% off.

Essential is the cheapest, costing $1.83 per month, billed annually. It includes 1TB of storage, password-protected sharing, backups, and VPN in three locations.

Premium offers access to advanced sharing features and Internxt's cleaner for $3.75 per month.

Alternatively, users looking for the full spectrum of Internxt's features should choose Ultimate, which costs $5 per month. It adds Meet, VPN access in five locations, and WebDAV support.

As an alternative to yearly billing, Internxt offers lifetime subscriptions starting at $300.

In addition to the free plan, the company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, allowing you to test all features before a long-term commitment.

Additionally, users can reach out to the company via Reddit on the subreddit r/internxt.

The company is also active on X, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn, sharing updates and other pertinent information.

Lastly, we want to highlight the long list of tools the company offers for free on its website, which includes:

• Byte converter
• Temporary email
• Password checker
• File virus scanner
• Password generator
• File converter
• Internxt monitor
• Metadata remover
• AI detector

Its VPN lacks more locations, and for a privacy suite, it still misses some advanced features, but it has all the potential to become a top-tier product in the near future.

Users can use Internxt for free via its limited free plan, pay as low as $1.83 per month for a premium subscription using Best Reviews exclusive 85% discount, or purchase a lifetime subscription for a minimum of $300.
