Your data stays
yours. Always.
USENDIT.IO is built on multi‑region S3 object storage hosted exclusively in Europe. Your files never leave the European Union — not in transit, not in backup.
Definition
What is digital sovereignty?
Digital sovereignty is the ability of an organisation to control its data: where it is stored, who can access it, under which laws. Since the US Cloud Act of 2018, any data hosted with a US provider — even on European soil — can be seized by American authorities without prior notice. For European professionals, choosing sovereign hosting is no longer optional.
The Cloud Act risk explained
Extraterritorial reach
The Cloud Act applies to all subsidiaries and servers of US companies worldwide, including in Europe.
Access without notice
US authorities can demand access to your data without informing the user or the local jurisdiction.
GDPR incompatible
The EU Court of Justice invalidated the Privacy Shield in 2020. Transferring data outside the EU without an adequate mechanism is illegal.
Regulated professions
Lawyers, doctors, accountants: professional secrecy is directly threatened by non-sovereign hosting.
Infrastructure
How our storage works
USENDIT.IO uses Cloudflare R2, an S3‑compatible object storage with strict European localisation. Unlike AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage, Cloudflare R2 has no egress fees — your data flows freely between European regions at no extra cost.

ActiveS3‑compatible
100% Amazon S3‑compatible API. Full portability — you are never locked into a single provider.
Zero egress fees
No surcharge when your files are downloaded. Cloudflare R2 does not charge for data egress.
Active multi‑region
Your files are distributed across multiple European nodes for availability and resilience.
Encryption at rest
All data is encrypted at rest (AES‑256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Zero unauthorised access.
Multi‑provider strategy
We do not lock ourselves into a single ecosystem. The standard S3 interface allows us to switch or replicate to other sovereign European providers — Scaleway, OVHcloud, Hetzner — without rewriting a single line of code. Your resilience is our priority.
