It is thanks to automated connectors that different information can be capitalized within a database. Thus, the user will be able to see for example the different banking operations in progress thanks to the Cozy Banks app, which also makes it possible to make correlations between these operations and the dedicated invoices. Another connector is provided for taxes.
Cozy Cloud has also been reassuring in terms of security, saying that "all our servers use encrypted hard drives. As for the passwords of the connectors, they are systematically stored encrypted in our databases ".
However, you will have to put your hand in the wallet if you want more than 5 GB of storage: thus, for 50 GB, it will cost 2.99 euros per month and 9.99 euros for 1000 GB. This service is available via smartphone or PC.
