Koofr vs Jottacloud — European Cloud Storage Comparison with RcloneView
Both Koofr and Jottacloud are privacy-focused European cloud storage providers with strong GDPR compliance. RcloneView supports both, making it easy to manage, compare, or migrate between them.
European businesses and individuals choosing cloud storage often narrow their list to GDPR-compliant providers with data centers in Europe. Koofr (Slovenia) and Jottacloud (Norway) are two of the most recognized independent European cloud providers — both privacy-focused, both supported by rclone, and both manageable through RcloneView. This comparison helps you understand the practical differences when using either service for backup and sync workflows.

Provider Overview
Koofr is based in Slovenia (EU) and operates under Slovenian law. It supports OAuth login in RcloneView, meaning you authenticate via browser without entering passwords directly into rclone. Koofr also acts as a WebDAV gateway to other services (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive), making it useful as a cloud aggregator.
Jottacloud is based in Norway and stores data exclusively in Norwegian data centers. It uses its own proprietary protocol, but rclone's Jottacloud backend handles the OAuth authentication seamlessly. Jottacloud is popular among Scandinavian users for personal and SMB storage, with strong versioning support.
Setting Up Both in RcloneView
Both providers use OAuth browser authentication in RcloneView. Go to Remote tab → New Remote, select Koofr or Jottacloud, and complete the browser login. Neither requires manual token entry or API key configuration — the OAuth flow handles everything.
Once both are added as remotes, open the Explorer in split-panel mode. Browse your Koofr folders on the left and Jottacloud on the right (or vice versa). This side-by-side view is ideal for comparing folder structures before deciding which provider to use as your primary backup target.
Practical Differences for RcloneView Users
File versioning: Jottacloud maintains file version history automatically, making it easier to recover previous versions of documents. Koofr does not offer built-in versioning for standard plans.
API maturity: Koofr's rclone backend is well-established and handles a broad range of file operations reliably. Both providers work with RcloneView's standard sync and copy workflows.
Storage aggregation: Koofr's WebDAV gateway feature means you can use it as a pass-through to sync between Dropbox and Koofr, or between Google Drive and Koofr, all managed through RcloneView. Jottacloud is a standalone destination.
Migrating Between Koofr and Jottacloud
If you decide to switch from one to the other, RcloneView handles the migration as a direct cloud-to-cloud transfer. Create a Sync job with Koofr as source and Jottacloud as destination (or reverse). Enable checksum verification to confirm file integrity after transfer. For large migrations, run the Dry Run first to preview the file count and total size.
