The US law enables the US government to snoop on Europeans’ data held with US cloud providers without needing to obtain a warrant.


The European Parliament has had a hearing regarding the privacy report on the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendment Act (FISAAA) -- AKA US spy law.

Here is the download link to the study of  European Parliament: Fighting cyber crime and protecting privacy in the cloud

This law enables the US government to snoop on Europeans’ data held with US cloud providers without needing to obtain a warrant.
We at TeamDrive are a secure European-based cloud synchronization provider who cares much for the privacy and security demand of our customers. 


Right from the beginning, security has been one of TeamDrive’s top concerns, for both our consumer and enterprise customers. The questions raised about the United States’ FISA act have focused the minds of Europeans keen to share, but only with those they chose. TeamDrive has confirmed that European cloud users want to have data stored under the EU banner, away from the prying eyes of the US government, and TeamDrive’s free choice of server and end-to-end encryption gives them added confidence.
We welcome the findings of European Parliament’s hearing, and we anticipate more news on enterprises banning US-based file-sharing and making TeamDrive their de facto standard.”
TeamDrive is an alternative to US cloud computing giants Dropbox, Box and Google etc. European companies that want to avoid being snooped on by the US government can trust TeamDrive. TeamDrive gives you a free choice of server, plus full end-to-end encryption, plus TeamDrive is based in Germany and is not subject to FISAA.
