Where Otixo is the better choice

Otixo's encrypted workspaces are a genuine feature and not something we offer.

Questions

Is ShiftMyData a drop-in replacement for Otixo?

For moving, syncing and backing up files between clouds, yes. Otixo and ShiftMyData cover the same ground, and ShiftMyData reaches 85 services. Check the list for your specific pair before you commit to either.

Do my files pass through your servers?

A transfer within one provider is carried out by that provider on its own storage and never touches us. Between two providers it is streamed from one to the other in memory and never written to our disks.

Why would I still choose Otixo?

Otixo's encrypted workspaces are a genuine feature and not something we offer.
