Three layers of protection

In transit and at rest
Every upload and download uses SSL, and files are encrypted on our servers.
Encrypted Vault
Lock a folder with AES and your own key. Files you upload from your browser are encrypted on your device first (E2EE). Files from the apps and the API are encrypted on our servers (SSCE).
Your key, your control
Only you hold the key, so an account password alone does not open encrypted files.

Encrypted Vault (E2EE & SSCE)

Only you hold the key.

Lock a folder in your Vault and its files are encrypted with AES using a key that only you hold. Even with your account password, they stay unreadable without that key.

  • End-to-end (E2EE). Files you upload from the browser are encrypted on your device before they leave it.
  • Server-side (SSCE). Files from the apps, the API and existing folders are encrypted on our servers with your public key.
  • No recovery. We can't reset or recover your key, so keep it somewhere safe.

FAQ

Quick Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started

Do you charge request or retrieval fees?

No. FileLu does not charge request or retrieval fees — unlike traditional S3 providers.

Can I use FileLu with S3 tools?

Yes. FileLu S5 is fully S3-compatible, so any S3 tool works with it.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Transfers use SSL and files are encrypted at rest. For full control, lock a folder in your Vault: it is encrypted with AES and only your key opens it.

How does Vault encryption work?

Choose a folder to lock. Files you upload from your browser are encrypted on your device with AES before they leave it, and files from the apps or the API are encrypted on our servers. Either way only your key opens them, and we cannot recover it if you lose it.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Start with 1GB free, including FileLu S5 (S3), and scale up to petabyte-level storage whenever you need it.

Can I back up my NAS or security cameras?

Yes. Schedule NAS backups with the tools you already use, and connect FTP cameras and recorders. Loop recording is included with Premium.

Can AI apps like ChatGPT or Claude access my files?

Only if you allow it. With FileLu MCP you create access tokens, and each token can be limited to read-only, download, write, delete or share access, or to a specific folder.
