Onlime: Secure, renewable energy-powered cloud storage with GDPR compliance, cross-device sync, and AI photo search

What is Onlime?

Onlime is a Scandinavian cloud storage service for backing up, syncing, and sharing files across Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. The site positions it as a privacy first alternative to large cloud providers, with EU based data centers and renewable energy hosting. Plans cover personal use, families, and businesses.

Why Onlime works

Most consumer cloud storage trades data access for cheap pricing, which leaves photographers and families uncertain where their files actually live. Onlime keeps storage in EU data centers and states it does not harvest user data, so the privacy promise is the product rather than a footnote.

Onlime features

Cross device backup. Automatic backup for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android keeps the same files synced across every device a household uses.
Photo timeline and albums. Photos are organized chronologically with album tools, so a family library stays usable as it grows over the years.
Intelligent image search. A private AI image search finds photos through natural language descriptions without sending content to a third party.
Document scanner. The mobile app scans paper documents into PDF or image files, which then sync back to the same Onlime account.
Free Office Online access. Plans include access to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint online, so users can edit documents from the same library.
File restore and versioning. Deleted files are kept for thirty days and the service stores up to five versions, giving households a recovery path after accidents.

Who Onlime is for

Families with decades of photos and documents who want a single shared library that does not get reorganized by an ad platform.
Photographers managing large media libraries who need cross device sync without trusting the largest US clouds.
Students looking for affordable cloud storage with a student discount and Office Online included.
Small Danish and Scandinavian businesses that need EU based storage to keep their data residency story simple.
