Secure data rooms since 2001 – made and hosted in Germany

Today, 25 years later, netfiles is one of Europe’s leading providers of virtual data rooms, with more than half a million users worldwide.
Quality and security
Made in Germany
With 25 years of experience, netfiles GmbH is one of the first and leading providers of virtual data rooms and secure data exchange solutions.
netfiles is a German business with registered office, development and hosting entirely located in Germany. Our servers are located at two highly secure, certified data centers in Germany.
netfiles ensures comprehensive compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant compliance guidelines, offering your company maximum security, control, and legal certainty when exchanging data and collaborating online.
When sensitive data is involved, the key considerations go beyond simple collaboration. Storage location, access control, traceability and data sovereignty are equally important.
Files are not stored directly in Microsoft Teams. Channel files are generally stored in SharePoint, while chat files are usually stored in OneDrive. This distinction is barely visible to users, but it is highly relevant for IT, data protection and compliance because it creates different storage locations, permission structures and sharing mechanisms.
As a result, confidential and sensitive documents may unintentionally end up in SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams chats or personal shares. Microsoft’s status as a US-based provider is also relevant when assessing data sovereignty, dependency on individual providers and potential access scenarios under the US CLOUD Act.
Confidential documents, personal data and business-critical information should therefore not automatically be stored via Teams, SharePoint or OneDrive. A clear separation is the better approach: Teams for communication – netfiles Data Room for the sovereign storage and editing of confidential files.
Files are not simply stored “in Teams”. Microsoft Teams mainly serves as the interface through which users share, discuss and collaboratively edit files.
Files shared in Teams channels are stored in SharePoint in the background. Files shared in chats are generally stored in the sender’s OneDrive for Business account and shared with the other chat participants.
A data room in Microsoft Teams combines the familiar Teams interface with secure file storage outside SharePoint and OneDrive.
