kSuite, the Swiss Answer to Google Workspace or Office 365
Same tools. A lot more storage. None of the American servers.
I wrote about the best productivity suite for a small team recently. Google, Microsoft, Apple, build-your-own. And one European option I gave about three sentences.
That option was kSuite. Three sentences is not enough.
Most people have never heard of it. But it’s a pretty cool option. So, let’s look into kSuite.
What is kSuite
kSuite is a productivity suite made by Infomaniak*, a Swiss company. Think Google Workspace, but the whole thing lives in Switzerland.
You get the parts you’d expect. kMail for email. kDrive for files. Calendar and Contacts. kMeet for video calls. kChat for team messaging, which is the Slack and Teams slot. And OnlyOffice built in, so you can open and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files (docx, xlsx, pptx) right in the browser, two people at once, the way you do in Docs.
So it’s not a single app. It’s the full office stack a small team runs on. One login, one bill, one admin panel.
There’s also an AI assistant baked in now, called Euria. It runs on open models hosted by Infomaniak in Europe, not piped off to OpenAI. I haven’t leaned on it much, so I’ll leave it there.
Also, kSuite has more tools, like SwissTransfer which is WeTransfer but safe, Chk which is a URL shortener, kPaste which transfers notes safely, and more.
In short, kSuite has a lot. For cheap. Safe and secure.
Who makes it
Infomaniak has been around since 1994. Geneva. They run their own data centers, they’re not just renting space on AWS and putting a Swiss flag on it. They host websites, email and cloud for a lot of Europe already.
And in May 2026 the founder handed the majority of the company to a Swiss public-interest foundation. Which sounds like a footnote, but it means the company can’t be bought by Google or Microsoft or some private equity fund that wants to gut it. It’s locked. That’s rare in tech now.
The green angle is real too. They cool the servers with outside air, no air conditioning, since 2013. Their newest data center recycles all of its energy as heat and warms around 6,000 households nearby. Whether that matters to you is your call. But it’s there, and it’s not greenwashing.
The storage
This is pretty dop.e
kSuite Pro is about a few euros per months and gives every user 1 TB of storage. Google Workspace starts around 7.99 euros and gives you 30 GB.
That’s a lot more space for a couple of euros. I had to read it twice.
For a writer, a designer, anyone sitting on photo libraries or video, that is a lot of cloud space. 30 GB fills up quickly. 1 TB does not. And email isn’t even included here, because you get unlimited space for emails on top.
There’s a free tier* too, called my kSuite. 20 GB for mail, 15 GB for kDrive, the apps included. The catch is no email aliases on the free plan.
Where the data sleeps
Google and Microsoft are American companies. Under the CLOUD Act, US authorities can ask them for data even when it sits on European servers.
For most people that’s an abstract worry. For a tax office, a doctor, a law firm, a public agency, it’s not. And this fact is getting more relevant by the day with the EU trying to be more independent from US tech and life.
kSuite is Swiss. The data is processed in Switzerland, under Swiss and EU privacy law, outside the reach of the CLOUD Act. Infomaniak doesn’t scan your mail to sell ads, because ads aren’t their business. You’re the customer, not the product. And Swiss data protection is even more strict than the EU’s… which is already damn strict.
This used to be a niche concern. It isn’t anymore. Germany and Denmark are moving public offices off Microsoft, and procurement departments across Europe are asking the same question now.
Downsides
It’s not Google, and you’ll feel it in some areas.
OnlyOffice is good, but on a very heavy spreadsheet or a huge document it’s a step slower than Google Docs or Office 365. If you live in complex Excel macros, some VBA stuff doesn’t carry over cleanly.
kChat does the job, but it lacks some of the automations and integrations Slack people are used to. It’s a chat tool, not an app platform.
And the big one… nobody knows it.
Your clients have heard of Gmail and Outlook. They have not heard of kSuite. So when you send a kMeet link or a kDrive share, expect a few “is this safe?” replies at first. The polish is also a half-step behind Google in small ways. Not dramatic. Just… a bit.
None of that is a dealbreaker. You trade a bit of slickness and brand recognition for your data and a mountain of storage.
The Bottom Line
If you want a good productivity suite for you or if you run a small team and you’ve been uneasy about renting your entire office from an ad company, kSuite is a great option now.
It won’t impress anyone with brand names. It’ll just give you mail, files, docs, calls and chat that work, for less money, with a hundred times the room, and Switzerland between your files.
I think that’s worth a free account* to find out. The worst case is you go back to Google and you’ve lost nothing.
