In the cloud landscape, we are familiar with the big names such as Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and Dropbox.
And for good reason, these are online storage services offered by large companies including GAFAM.
But among all this competition, a French company intends to make a name for itself.
Since the end of 2020, the French company Leviia has been offering its own online storage platform, which aims to be ecological, all without compromising on performance.

Leviia, the French AND green cloud
Leviia is a 100% French company.
In the midst of the Covid crisis, it was Arnaud and William Méauzoone, then aged 27 and 30, who had the idea of creating a French storage platform.
Indeed, the cloud market is mainly held by American companies, which means that the data stored online is subject to American laws.
With Leviia, your data stays in France: it is stored in three data centers located in Roubaix, Gravelines and Strasbourg.
And for more security, they are synchronized every evening.
This means that every evening, backups of your data are made in triplicate: with Leviia, your files and documents are well kept!
Unlike the best-known clouds, with Leviia, your data is hosted by a company that cares about the environment.
Indeed, online storage represents a significant form of pollution.
While it is difficult to avoid storing data online, it is on the other hand possible to try to offset one's carbon emissions by carrying out actions to protect the environment.
This is exactly what Leviia offers!
And they are not content with simply offsetting their carbon emissions: part of Leviia's revenue is donated to associations to offset their carbon footprint not 100% but 200%!
In particular, they donate money to Reforesaction, a company that fights for the protection of the environment and reforestation.
Finally, a French cloud is also a local partner: do you have a question?
Are you having difficulty?
With Leviia, you will always have someone to help you, and who speaks your language.
Leviia, the French AND efficient cloud
A French company that is committed to the environmental level is good, but does Leviia offer a cloud as efficient as those of GAFAM?
The answer is yes !
To stand out, it is not enough to play on the sensitive chord, and that, Leviia understood it well!
A high-performance cloud is a space that allows you to store as much data as you want, securely, with fast servers, at an affordable price and just like Google Drive, Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive, Leviia ticks all these boxes.
In terms of security, as we have seen, your data is replicated in triplicate, on servers located in France.
But that's not all !
Leviia servers are protected by high-performance technologies.
There is an anti-DDOS system to prevent attacks targeting a large volume of data.
The data is partitioned, so that you are the only person who can access your data.
There's also military encryption, which encrypts your data as soon as it's sent to the server, and ransomware protection, which acts as a powerful antivirus.
At Leviia, the security of your data is an important part of the process!
Finally, Leviia announces good performance in terms of transfer speed.
Their servers can process up to 1 GB per second!
Either 30 photos in 4K in 2 seconds, or 1 film in HD in 5.5 seconds.
Leviia, more than a cloud, a real work companion
In addition to offering good performance in terms of online storage, Leviia also offers a real workspace.
With the spread of telework, companies are increasingly demanding a common online workspace that is convenient, fast and secure.
Indeed, the Leviia workspace offers an integrated office suite, 100% compatible with the Microsoft Office suite.
With the Leviia workspace, you can share your documents and projects with your colleagues or relatives, and work on them at the same time as them!
Leviia therefore becomes a real work tool, which will accompany you on a daily basis.
Leviia, different offers to adapt to everyone's needs
In order to meet the needs of the greatest number of users, Leviia offers no less than 10 different formulas.
The first five formulas are mainly aimed at individuals, these are Personal offers.
These offers range from 100 GB to 10 TB. The Personal offers start at €1.80 excl. VAT per month, or €21.60 excl. VAT per year.
If you need more storage space, the Expert offers will allow you to store up to 1000 TB of data!
Leviia also works with companies with very specific needs in terms of workspace.
If the proposed offers do not meet your needs, you can contact them to obtain a tailor-made Pro offer, in white label and with the management of user accounts.
Leviia offers are in the form of a subscription and are all non-binding: you can choose to cancel your offer at any time!
Who says large storage space says large volume of data.
The speed of the servers is a big plus, but if you have to download your data to your computer first before sending it back to your Leviia cloud, it may take some time.
The good news is that with Leviia, you won't have to.
Indeed, Leviia is compatible with different drives, and allows you to transfer your data from one drive to another.
The same goes for NAS owners: Leviia is compatible with all NAS on the market.
Whether you have a Synology, QNAP or Western Digital NAS, you can synchronize or back up your data with your Leviia cloud.
Finally, Leviia is compatible with Windows, MacOS and GNU/Linux, to be able to support the greatest number of users.
As you will have understood, Leviia is a serious competitor to GAFAM offers.
The young French company has nothing to envy to the biggest, quite the contrary!
