Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Link sharing limitations trigger unexpected upgrade prompts

high overage

Users encounter a hidden limit on the number of sharing links allowed, even when well under storage capacity. Reaching this limit blocks file sharing until the next billing cycle or forces an immediate upgrade, disrupting business operations.

trustpilot

Then, I got a notification from a client, not from Tresorit, that I had reached my sharing limit?? I was no where near capacity on the service that I paid for ( 1 yr in advance ). Only then did I discover that I was only allowed a certain number of links...Tresorit came back with - I could wait until the following month for my client to download or I could upgrade to get some more links.

2

Slow upload speeds impact productivity

medium implementation

Multiple users report extremely slow upload and sync speeds that make initial migration impractical and ongoing use frustrating, especially for teams handling large files or media assets.

trustpilot

The upload speed is horrendously slow btw. So my client could not download the files that they needed.

trustpilot

Tresorit is slow, both for up- and download.

3

Poor customer support leads to unresolved issues

high support

Multiple users report customer service that ignores tickets for weeks or months despite paid subscriptions. Support responses are often scripted copy-paste messages that don't address the actual issue, leaving critical problems unresolved and forcing users to switch providers.

trustpilot

The customer service simply ignores all requests made to them. You might be have a 'professional' subscription but they simply ghost you. I have been experiencing severe technical issues for the last 6 months and they simply ignored all my tickets despite my multiple attempts to re-initiate communication despite paying several hundred dollars a year.

trustpilot

I bought 10 business licences and tried to migrate from BoxCryptor/Dropbox set up I had to Tresorit. I never managed a successful migration. I was in touch with their support for 6 weeks trying to solve the issue only to be told every time I asked for an update that their developers were working on our issue. I have now cancelled my subscription wich cost over GBP 1800 and am still waiting for my money back.

4

Strict 7-day refund window with no exceptions

high add-on

Tresorit enforces a strict 7-day money-back guarantee with no exceptions, even when the service is non-functional. Users who pay annually and encounter problems after the first week are locked into paying for a full year with no recourse.

trustpilot

I asked for them to close my account and give me a refund. This they have refused to do on the basis that they offered a 7 day money back guarantee.

trustpilot

I was denied a refund when I canceled their free trial the day of the cancelation.

5

Account deletion after inactivity causes data loss

high compliance

Tresorit deletes inactive accounts after approximately 6 months of non-use, even for previously paid subscribers, resulting in permanent and irrecoverable data loss. Warning emails may go unseen if the user is traveling or unable to access email.

trustpilot

I was on an overseas assignment when Tresorit emailed me that I hadn't used my account in a few months and that they'd delete my account if I didn't sign in soon. But I didn't have access to my email account overseas. Once I re-gained access to my email account, I tried to log in to Tresorit, but the account had already been deleted. My vital files were gone.

trustpilot

They deleted my acount after half a year of inactivity; do I need to say more?

6

Link Sharing Limit

high addon

Tresorit imposes a monthly limit on the number of sharing links you can create, which is not prominently disclosed during signup. Users report discovering this limit only after being notified by recipients that files are inaccessible, with Tresorit requiring an upgrade to create additional links even when storage capacity hasn't been reached.

7

Initial Upload Performance

medium implementation

Users consistently report extremely slow initial upload speeds when migrating large amounts of data to Tresorit, with some reporting uploads that would take days to complete. While ongoing sync speeds are fast, the initial bulk upload can be prohibitively slow.

trustpilot

The upload speed is horrendously slow btw.

As for upload speed, tresorit takes decades. I've heard this is the case with the initial upload but I gave up on uploading my Sync folder since it was gonna take days.

8

File Size Limitations

medium addon

Tresorit imposes file size limits that restrict uploading large media files, which becomes an issue for users working with rich media like videos. This limitation is a common complaint and reason users consider switching providers.

trustradius

Removal of data-cap on file size, and right now, there is one, and it's an issue when storing rich media (such as startup pitch videos, etc.).

I asked to upgrade since the file size-limitation is restricting my usage of Tresorit.
