NordLocker

NordLocker alternative for white-label file sharing

NordLocker is the encrypted cloud storage product from the team behind NordVPN. It uses end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge architecture to make sure your files are visible to no one but you and the people you explicitly trust. That philosophy is admirable. But it is the opposite of what branded client delivery requires: making files professionally visible to your clients, at your own domain, in an experience that looks like yours. Here is what client-facing businesses use when they need that.

Frequently asked questions

Sharebrand is a white-label file sharing platform built for client-facing businesses. It delivers files to clients through your own custom domain with your logo and branding on every link. Clients never see Sharebrand's name. Unlike NordLocker, which is an end-to-end encrypted storage and secure file sharing tool built around keeping data private, Sharebrand is built specifically for professional branded delivery to external clients with a zero-login client portal and flat team pricing. Plans start at $29 per month for up to five team members.

No. NordLocker has no custom domain (CNAME) option on any plan. Files shared via link are on NordLocker's infrastructure. Files shared via locker are accessed through NordLocker's platform. There is no way to deliver files to clients at your own domain through NordLocker. Sharebrand supports full custom domain delivery on every plan, including Starter at $29 per month.

It depends on the sharing method. Sharing an encrypted locker requires the recipient to create a NordLocker account if they do not already have one. Sharing via a generated link does not require an account, but the recipient must enter a security code that the sender provides separately. With Sharebrand, recipients click a link and access files immediately with no account, no security code, and no extra step of any kind.

Yes, for pure privacy use cases. NordLocker uses a combination of AES-256, xChaCha20-Poly1305, and Ed25519 with zero-knowledge architecture — a more robust security posture than most file sharing tools. Sharebrand uses standard security for file delivery, which is appropriate for its purpose: professionally delivering finished files to clients. The two products have different threat models. NordLocker protects files from everyone, including the storage provider. Sharebrand protects the professional presentation of files to the right recipients.

Yes, and this is the most natural setup for agencies and freelancers who need both. NordLocker handles internal encrypted storage — contracts, client briefs, sensitive project assets, any file that should be locked down and private. Sharebrand handles all external client-facing delivery — finished work sent to clients at your domain in your branded portal. The two products address different moments and do not overlap.

NordLocker Business is $20/month billed monthly for 2 TB of end-to-end encrypted storage with admin panel access. Sharebrand Starter is $29/month for up to five team members with 3 TB of storage, a custom domain, a branded client portal, a file payment gate, and a brand asset portal. They cost almost exactly the same. What you are buying is completely different: NordLocker gives you private encrypted storage, Sharebrand gives you a branded client delivery platform.

Yes. Sharebrand has a built-in file payment gate. You set a price and clients pay before downloading. NordLocker has no equivalent feature for monetising file delivery directly through the platform.

No. NordLocker organises files into lockers (encrypted folders) that can be shared with specific people, but there is no persistent client workspace where a client logs into a portal that looks like your brand and sees their project files over time. Each locker share or link share is a separate access event. Sharebrand's client portal is a persistent workspace at your domain that clients can return to throughout a project.

Yes. The white-label Reseller plan lets you run a fully branded file-sharing platform under your own name. Your brand replaces Sharebrand's entirely. You set the pricing, connect your own Stripe account, and keep all revenue. NordLocker has a partner and affiliate programme but no white-label reseller platform.

Yes. All Sharebrand plans include a 14-day free trial with full Pro access. No credit card required. You can set up your custom domain, add your branding, and send your first branded client link before paying anything. NordLocker offers a free tier with 3 GB of encrypted cloud storage and local encryption tools with no time limit, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee on paid plans.
