The digital challenges of building and property professionals

The constraints of your profession, and the concrete answer a sovereign cloud provides.

πŸ”’

Project confidentiality

Competitions, private projects, plans of sensitive buildings: your work has strategic value that must stay protected.

βœ“ Strict access control, encryption and audit log
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Dependency on US clouds

Plans and client data stored with a US provider remain subject to the CLOUD Act, wherever they are hosted.

βœ“ European provider, out of reach of the CLOUD Act
πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

GDPR & client files

Agencies and surveyors handle buyers' IDs, sale agreements and financial data.

βœ“ Data stays in the EU, GDPR DPA and records made easy
πŸ“€

Heavy files

BIM models, point clouds, 3D renders: consumer transfer services are limited and uncontrolled.

βœ“ Password-protected links with expiry dates

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The sync client uploads large files in chunks and resumes automatically after an interruption. Storage is sized to your needs, up to several terabytes.

The CLOUD Act applies to providers under US jurisdiction, wherever their servers are located. Cloudiou is a European company hosting your data with European providers and no US parent company, so no CLOUD Act order can be served on us.

Our plans start at €19.90 per year for a freelancer. For a firm or SME we prepare a free quote based on the number of users, storage and service level, with a fixed annual price.
