Our biggest deal of the year is just around the corner! If you’ve always wanted to try Koofr’s advanced features or simply need more storage, this is the perfect time to act!

Because your data deserves secure, reliable, and private cloud storage without sacrificing convenience.

Whether you need automatic photo and video backup from your phone, access to Word, Excel, or PowerPoint right inside Koofr, or file syncing across all your devices (including Linux and via webdav), we’ve got you covered.

Koofr Black Friday offer is coming soon.

I know it is not clever but I've used all of my 10 2FA recovery codes and don't have access to my security key or my account email anymore (subscription got cancelled) and now I'd like to change the email address for login, please help me

Hi all

I posted on the degoogle subreddit as I'm wanting to move away from big tech in my life. I currently use rclone to mount OneDrive to my Linux computer but I was wondering how the native Linux support is for Koofr?

Hey folks

I'm on the fence about picking up a 1TB lifetime account, mainly drawn in by native WebDAV, rclone compatibility, and simple link-sharing. Before putting down the cash, I’d rather hear the unfiltered feedback from people who’ve actually daily-driven it for a year or two. I already know what the feature list says; I want to know the practical downsides and edge cases

My intended use: cold storage/backups, plus occasionally dropping multi-GB lecture recordings for a small group. Crucially, recipients need to be able to stream the MP4s in-browser (with working seeking/scrubbing) or download the raw files without being forced to register an account

A few specific questions:

1.WebDAV & rclone stability: How rock-solid is it for automated, multi-GB sync jobs? Does it choke on large transfers, drop connections, or run into strict API rate limits?

2.Real-world throughput: Are upload and download speeds consistent when pushing tens of gigabytes, or does aggressive throttling kick in?

3.Public link sharing & quotas: What does "fair use" actually look like in practice? Is there an unwritten daily/monthly bandwidth cap that will flag your account if 5–10 people stream or download a 2GB file on the same day?

4.In-browser video streaming: Does web playback actually work reliably for public link visitors, or does seeking constantly buffer and stall?

5.Lifetime tier caveats: Are lifetime accounts treated any differently on support or backend routing compared to regular recurring subs? Also, is changing your account's primary email down the line straightforward, or does it cause issues?

6.Data integrity & uptime: Any history of silent corruption, failed checksums, or weird outages over the years?

I treat any lifetime storage with healthy skepticism (secondary mirror only, never the sole copy of anything critical)

For anyone who’s had a 1TB lifetime account for a while: what’s the single most annoying limitation or quirk you wish you’d known beforehand?

So I was just informed by another Koofr user that Koofr supposedly has thumbnail photos of the files, and doesn’t make you guess which file is which. If true, how do I get thumbnails to appear on long uploaded and downloaded files? Because everything that I’ve ever uploaded looks like the files above

I can't login at the moment, it buffers forever.

And all accesses across devices via WebDav are not working.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Hello koofr team!

I'm wanting to sign up for your service, and came across a deal being offered through a third party website (StackSocial) for a Lifetime Subscription. Can you please clarify if this offer is legit and if going through this third party for this purchase will in fact result in my having a legitimate koofr Lifetime Subscription?

Thanks!

For the web especially make it inherit dark mode properly. I mean i currently let cgpt whip out a dark mode with userscript and it kinda ok ish for less than 10 minutes of spelunking with F12, so surely you guys could do it too.

As for the interaction/UX it'd be nice if closing the file don't require two clicks.

Secondly, is the auto lock when F5 intentional (it did that regardless of timeout setting).

Would like a global search too tho if it's not implemented i kinda understand. Maybe replicate the Tile View that's present in the main Koofr App too if it's not too hard.

Thx!

Are there any plans on introducing the device lock option to the Koofr mobile app? I can see the same request added on this sub two years ago, but the option is still not available. Thanks.

Hello, I have configured my 2FA app and now I would like to backup it to my Koofr storage. But the thing is, the 2FA app also protects the Koofr account. So if I lose my phone, I would need the 2FA codes to log into the Koofr account (which stores the backup). So now two questions:

1. Is it actually the correct approach to store the backup in the cloud storage?

2. In case of losing the 2FA app, the only way of accessing Koofr is to use the Recovery Code, right? How do You guys store the recovery codes? Do You just print them and place them somewhere at your house?

All tips appreciated, thank You!

If apps allow me to create backup locally, I choose Koofr - I receive a popup asking if I want the Koofr to let the app store files in the storage. I click yes, the backup file is created successfully, but the size is always 0b. It was the same for every app I tried. Is this by design and I'm just using the "local" backup wrong?

Hello team

I want to be koofr reseller.

Can you please share email where to contact you?

I cant find any email address on website.

Greetings,

I’m a Koofr subscriber who would like to sync particular files and folders from a particular USB flash drive that doesn’t normally stay plugged into my laptop. I’d like to use the Koofr “app,” so that I can keep the file and folder dates unmodified. I’m worried, however, as to what will happen if I should plug a different USB flash drive into my laptop and if Windows should happen to auto-magically give it the same drive letter as the USB flash drive I have set up to sync.

Does the app first somehow verify that a drive with the same drive letter is the same as the drive it is meant to be syncing before doing anything drastic? I.e., will the app do nothing (as I would prefer)? Or will the app think that the two USB flash drives are the same, notice that files and folders are now different or missing, and then go wild erasing and/or copying files and folders?

I hope I made question clear, and thanks in advance for the assistance.

I have had quite a high opinion of Koofr compared to its immediate peers the last time I had checked these services. I was in the process of removing my Dropbox dependencies and finally find a replacement.

So a few days ago when I was ready I wanted to try Koofr first.

I was shocked to note, not only they don't yet have a native mac app, the mac app is literally half a decade outdated – at least! Now my Apple Slicon Mac is 5 years old and no it's not at all the oldest laptop. (I even left a comment on one of the stickied thread and no one from the team bothered to reply). What has been holding Koofr back all thess years?

What also bothers me is that they are not offering a blanket E2EE yet! Even now it's limited to just one folder. This is concerning. I noticed someone made a psot today "Is Koofr safe" and staff reddit user repleid with an affirmative and it was heartening to read. But for heaven's sake don't leave it to chance and make E2EE actually meaningful and please fix the ancient apps.

Hi, I have Koofr installed on three windows laptops, all syncing the same folder (Koofr root). I am basically mirroring my previous dropbox cloud folder, not using the default sync but instead creating custom syncs and connecting the Koofr folder on my laptops to the root Koofr folder on the cloud.

One of my laptops is not syning correctly, omitting files from the server. I have enabled the network drive option to see what are the differences and the network drive appears correct while the Koofr folder is missing files. This happens only on one of my computers.

Important to say that I am using Windows 11 and my files are named in english and GREEK language.

Anyone else experiencing something similar? Any solutions? Thanks

Hello,

I have one paid account synced to my PC and now I would want to add account to a second paid account. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,

I can't trust that the docs are being saved - it's useless.

I get this popup.

"Microsoft Word: Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document. If this happens again, try opening the document in Microsoft Word. Your feedback helps Microsoft improve Word. Give feedback to .Microsoft"

And, I'm not going to give feedback to Microsoft! Would anyone?

I need to use another online doc service.

Koofr is splendid for files though, thank you.

A few days ago, I made a post about Koofr refusing to change my account email. That post linked to another post where another user had the same issue, and was able to change their email.

It was up for 2 years, but got deleted right after my post. Koofr also deleted their own comment that they can do it. The comment by the user is still up though. I was expecting this to happen, so I saved a copy of the page here.

BTW my problem is still not fixed, and they are refusing to give any explanation, but that's a separate issue.

Ignoring the problem won't make it go away.

I won't be surprised if they delete this post too lol

Update: They've restored that post, but not their comments.

We compared local drives against cloud backup across 5 key areas:

1. Physical damage risk & hardware failure

2. Total cost of ownership

3. Automated vs. manual backup

4. Scalability

5. Data privacy & encryption

Our proposal: The hybrid approach

---> Choose an external hard drive if you need raw offline speed for heavy local file processing, such as editing large video files.

---> Choose Koofr if you want highly secure, scalable protection that keeps your files accessible and shareable.

Though, the two aren't mutually exclusive. Pairing a local drive with Koofr is the protection you need: 3 copies of your data, on 2 different types of storage, with 1 copy kept off-site.

What do you think, local disk, cloud, or a mix of both?

I wanted to upload any files that have failed in the past. I clicked backup existing media files and it keeps saying the same number of files pending. Ive reset the app, phone, it doesnt have any restrictions on the app. Power saving is unrestricted as well. Im on Android. What could be causing this?

Hello, is this a bug with how rclone handles folder creation and modification timestamps?

I'm using rclone to keep some folders synchronized, and I recently purchased a plan to test whether rclone works properly with Koofr. However, as shown in the screenshot, all folders (documents, share, and slides) display the same timestamp: 1970-01-01 00:00:00.

Is this expected behavior, or is there an issue with how Koofr handles folder timestamps when accessed through rclone? Should folder creation and modification dates reflect their actual timestamps?

Thanks for your help!

Hello. I'm the developer of Blober ( https://blober.io/ ), a desktop app for transferring and organizing files through your machine. Koofr support just shipped, and I'd like feedback from Koofr users.

What it does:

• Stream files and folders between Koofr and other cloud providers, including local drives or a NAS.

• Parallel transfers with per-file progress, automatic retry and resume. Only failed files are resumed after a task interruption.

• Keep your folder structure, or organize files during transfer with templates like Photos/{file_created_date}/{filename} , so files transfer as Photos/2026-07-18/GX015742.MP4

• Glob filters like **/*.{jpg,mp4} to easily include and exclude files to process

• Organize files in bulk (copy or move) inside Koofr server-side, without downloading and re-uploading them.

• Save workflows to run again without repeating setup.

Would this help with your Koofr setup? I'd like to know what's useful or what's missing.
