Secure GDPR European Storage

Published {$created} by Viggo

In today's digital landscape, data security and compliance are paramount. The EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets strict guidelines for handling personal data, especially for businesses operating in Europe. This means that when you need to store files securely in Europe, you must ensure that your chosen solution adheres to these regulations. ftpGrid offers a secure and GDPR-compliant solution for European storage. Our cloud storage is hosted in the EU, ensuring that your data remains within the jurisdiction of strict EU data protection laws. Moreover, we employ top-notch encryption standards to keep your data safe.

Setting Up Your Secure Connection

To get started with secure European storage, you can sign up for an ftpGrid account. We offer a free tier with 512MB of storage, perfect for testing our security features (link: https://ftpgrid.com/tutorials/ftpgrid-free-tier-overview/). Once you have an account, you can connect using one of our secure protocols:

• SFTP: Recommended for secure file transfers. Our servers are set up to accept SFTP connections. You can use tools like FileZilla or write a script with SSH keys (link: https://ftpgrid.com/tutorials/upload-files-to-ftpgrid-using-filezilla/).
• FTPS: Another secure option, but note that we also support explicit FTPS over port 21 (link: https://ftpgrid.com/tutorials/ftp-101-difference-between-sftp-and-ftps/).

Example connection string: sftp://user:password@edgeN.ftpgrid.com

Alternatively, for enhanced security, use SSH key-based authentication. We support SSH-RSA, ECDSA-SHA2-NISTP256, and SSH-ED25519 (link: https://ftpgrid.com/tutorials/advanced-ssh-key-authentication-for-sftp/).

Managing Your Storage

With ftpGrid, you can monitor your storage and bandwidth usage in real-time. Our dashboard provides graphs for historical storage and bandwidth, helping you stay within your limits (link: https://ftpgrid.com/features/). We also offer multiple accounts (up to 500 FTP/SFTP accounts per customer), user suspension, and audit logging to keep track of all transactions.
