Google Workspace, re-hosted in Europe
Google Workspace is excellent software. The problem isn’t the features — it’s the jurisdiction. Your organisation’s documents, email and files live on US infrastructure, governed by US law (the CLOUD Act lets US authorities compel access to data held by US providers, wherever it is stored). For a European company, public body, or any team handling regulated data, that’s a structural risk no settings page can fix.
Mandraki is the sovereign alternative: the same everyday suite — documents, spreadsheets, presentations, mail, drive, calendar, chat and video — built into one platform, hosted entirely in the EU, and governed by EU law. No Google account, no US processor in the path.
The spreadsheet editor above is the real thing — running in your browser, right now, no login. Type in a cell. Nothing you do leaves your device until you choose to sign up.

Why teams switch
- Compliance that holds up. Data residency and processing stay in the EU, so GDPR, the EU Data Act and sector rules are satisfied by design — not by a data-processing addendum you hope covers you.
- No lock-in. Open formats (Office/OOXML) in, open formats out. Your documents are yours.
- One platform, not ten tabs. Mail, files, docs, calendar, chat and calls share one login, one search, one admin.
Migrating from Google Workspace
Most teams move in stages: point your domain’s mail at Mandraki, bulk-import existing documents (they open as real Office files), and invite your team. There’s no “export everything and pray” weekend — you can run both in parallel while you switch.
Frequently asked
Can I open my existing Google Docs and Sheets? Yes — export them (Google offers .docx/.xlsx) and they open with full fidelity, or keep working in Office formats directly.
Is my data really only in the EU? Yes. Mandraki runs on European infrastructure with no US sub-processor in the data path. That’s the whole point.
Do my colleagues need an account to view a document? No — you can share a link. They only sign up when they want to edit and save their own work.
