Frequently asked questions

What does Pristy have that the most famous drives don’t?

With Pristy:

  • You know where your data and its backups are stored: in France, on the OVH Cloud servers. Data stored in France are protected by European and French law.
  • Pristy is a free and open source software, you can consult its code, make it evolve…
  • … and this includes reversibility: you can retrieve your data at any time – software included – and have it installed on another server by another partner, you are not locked into our solution.
  • Behind Pristy is a human-sized digital service company with less than ten employees: you can contact us directly to ask for new features or developments related to your business, or to give us feedback on your usage.
  • Our interface is easy to use and has full documentation. It is accessible to everyone, whatever their level of computer knowledge.
  • Your data is on a dedicated server, no data sharing or indexing with another client.
  • You can trust us, you know what we do with your data: nothing. Of course, we store it, back it up and you have access to it 24/7, but we do not use your data, we do not consult it, we do not sell it to third parties.

Why not have a freemium solution?

No enterprise offering from US drives is free: our basic per-user rate offering is cheaper.

If you are using solutions for private individuals and taking advantage of the free offer, remember that unfortunately “if it’s free, you are the product!” and ask yourself how these companies handle your data? Are they really transparent?

Pristy doesn’t have a free month, but you can test our demo platform for free.

Do you have the same functionality as competitors?

Pristy has all the basic functionality of a DMS with an integrated office suite. We are early adopters of Pristy and it meets all our needs and we have many ideas for further development. Check out all the features and options on this website.

Don’t forget if you have a particular need: we are at your disposal.

Do you offer other services (email, video conferencing, project management tools)?

No, and it’s not part of the upcoming developments. However, if you have a particular need, we can help you to find free and hosted solutions in France. For that, do not hesitate to contact us.
