Jottacloud is the cloud storage of choice for users in Scandinavia and one of the few providers that is both GDPR-friendly and based entirely in Norway. It has a clean WebDAV interface, a generous free tier, and a strong focus on privacy. ScsDriver mounts Jottacloud as a Windows drive letter for $5.5 once.
Why Jottacloud?
Jottacloud's biggest selling point is jurisdiction. Norway has some of the strongest data protection laws in the world, and Jottacloud operates entirely within it. No US CLOUD Act exposure, no Schrems II headaches, no data leaving the EEA. For European users, particularly in regulated industries, this is a major plus.
The free tier starts at 5 GB, and the paid tiers are reasonable. The WebDAV endpoint is at https://jottacloud.com/jfs/.
The Setup
- Sign up for a Jottacloud account (jottacloud.com).
- Install ScsDriver from drive.scsoi.com.
- Point a new mount at https://jottacloud.com/jfs/ with your credentials.
- Pick a drive letter (J: for Jottacloud) and mount.
- The drive shows up in Explorer, full read/write, GDPR-friendly all the way down.
Jottacloud supports versioning, file sharing, and a desktop sync client. Mounted via ScsDriver, you get all of that plus the convenience of a drive letter.
The 5.5 Lifetime Deal
Same as every other WebDAV endpoint: $5.5 once, no subscription. Mount Jottacloud as J:, Wasabi as W:, Backblaze B2 as B:, Yandex Disk as Y:. One ScsDriver license covers them all.
For European businesses that need GDPR-compliant cloud storage without the paperwork of running their own servers, Jottacloud is the right pick. Mount it as J: with ScsDriver, give it a drive letter, $5.5 once.
Region Notes
- Scandinavia / Nordics: Jottacloud is a household name. Most Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes already have an account.
- Rest of Europe: Strong privacy story, slower speeds than US-based providers.
- Americas / APAC: Works but is not the cheapest or fastest. Pick it for the GDPR story, not the speed.
For a small business in the EU that needs an EU-jurisdiction cloud for compliance reasons, Jottacloud is hard to beat. Mount it as J: and the compliance is built in.
Jottacloud vs. Other EU Clouds
- Hetzner Storage Box: German, very cheap, but more of a sysadmin tool.
- IONOS HiDrive: German, business-oriented, more expensive.
- Jottacloud: Norwegian, consumer-friendly, GDPR-clean.
For a freelancer or small team in the EU that wants a cloud they can hand to non-technical users, Jottacloud is the right answer. Mount it as J: with ScsDriver and the team gets a Windows drive that maps to GDPR-compliant storage.
Bottom Line
Jottacloud for Norwegian GDPR-friendly storage, ScsDriver for the drive letter, $5.5 once. Mount J:, browse in Explorer, no Schrems II stress.
