Overview
Jottacloud is a cloud storage, backup and synchronization service operated by Norwegian company Jotta AS. The company says it has provided cloud storage since 2008, with data stored in Norway and protected under Norwegian and European privacy laws.
The service supports personal, family and business subscriptions. Users can back up computers and mobile devices, synchronize folders, store files in an archive, share content and manage photos through web, desktop and mobile applications.
Jottacloud also includes AI photo search. Users can describe an image to locate it in their photo collection. The company states that its AI models are pretrained on external image and text datasets rather than trained on customer photos.
