Very interesting news,
could you elaborate more on any changes to Icedrive as we currently know it?
Or how will it involve Ice Privacy, if it will?
Anything that will directly affect Icedrive users data?
Thanks

Icedrive user data will not be affected in any way. The new brand has just allowed us to not only relocate to combat the UK’s new anti-privacy laws but also will enable us to provide additional privacy based products and services going forward.

Yes, as @Chris said, this is a huge net positive for us all, especially in light of the UK Online Saftey Bill.
Big things to come =)
Check out our new HQ!

Nicely spotted 
That’s nice, very nice!
In my opinion, I don’t care about it having 200+ server locations, I don’t care about it being the fastest.
If you price it cheaper than the competition, you win!
Good job guys
Should have been a though decision, but for the better.
That’s why we are here, and will remain 
Sorry you had to move, but truly appreciate your privacy concerns. Thank you! BTW, your new headquarters are futuristic and pretty awesome.
One question. Is Ice Privacy as your new brand name to be changed in your login address, or will you keep icedrive.net?
Thanks, again. It’s hard enough keeping bad actors at bay without losing something like encryption.
Huge respect for you making this move, well done, it shows your commitment. Shame on the UK, my birthplace, and no surprise. Now in Australia I see this country changing beyond recognition under the new world order. I may have to move to Gibraltar myself!

Great. Please keep Icedrive as your priority. Some of us purchased lifetime subscription and the service is still majorly lacking in comparison to the competition.
You originally had a roadmap which was taken away.
We were told our entire Cloud storage would be end to end encrypted like Sync.com not just the encrypted folded, but since then this and many other promises have come and gone.
Please remain focused on Icedrive as the product could do with a major updates to not just the desktop app but the encryption, Mobile apps also

Well speed is important, so let’s hope this isn’t compromised by the geo-relocation.
Rest assured speed will not be compromised by the move.

I really admire and respect the ID team’s dedication to privacy. Thank you for taking it seriously and acting in this way. Awesome work there.
But… IcePrivacy? A whole privacy suite? Please, please, no! Not unless you’ve got some new investors with deep pockets and have added a ton of team members! Please fix the existing problems in your core product first. The IceDrive Apps have never been solid and reliable despite users begging for years. V3 keeps being teased but is still not quite ready for primetime and the sync feature isn’t even being tested yet. Please, please, please, I’m begging you guys, for the love of all that is holy, please do not spread your resources even thinner and neglect the IceDrive apps even further! Please, stop everything else and make a solid app without arbitrary folder sync restrictions, without long sync intervals, without frequent bugs such as 0kb file transfers, and with verbosity about any errors, as well as a clear list of what was successfully synced and what wasn’t.
IceDrive seems to have soooo much potential! It always seems … right… there. But after 3 years of waiting, I’m less optimistic. If IceDrive becomes what it could be, I and many others will happily refer and spread out to any other products/services this team creates. But if certain parts of the user experience remain a dumpster fire AND the team stretches itself thin in other endeavors, I foresee crashing and burning. Please don’t do that.

Hey Icedrive Team,
thanks for this interesting post!
Did you already move all data to Gibraltar or is the data still hosted in Wales?
The Icedrive Website still shows the Wales address on the bottom.
Is the data also hosted anywhere else in the world? (e.g. US)
Thanks
Markus
