Migrate files to a new data center

Enterprises and Businesses can decide where they want to store their Tresorit files to satisfy regional laws and requirements. Admins can set up multiple data centers in their subscription and assign user groups to these locations.

This setting, however, only affects new tresors. If you created tresors before this setting was enabled, your old tresors will remain in their original location, in Ireland.

What to expect?

You will need to create new tresors and transfer your files there. This means that you will lose the version history and shared links on these files and folders. You will also need to send out the tresor invitation to the members once again.
