Per-seat fee
Everything a business needs. Nothing it has to unlock.
Every feature is on the one plan. No upsell tiers, no per-seat gates, no add-on modules.
Granular permissions
Seven permissions per folder - View, Download, Upload, Edit, Delete, Share and Manage - for a member or a group, inherited by everything inside.
Encryption and authentication
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, two-factor authentication available on every account, device sessions you can revoke.
Unlimited members
Staff, clients, contractors and auditors at no extra cost. Group them once and manage permissions in bulk.
File versioning
The last 50 versions of every file, restorable in one click. Overwrite something by mistake and you are one click from undoing it.
Structure that matches yours
Nested folders that mirror how the team already works, drag-and-drop uploads, and bulk operations for the tedious parts.
Complete audit trail
Every upload, download, delete and permission change, timestamped and attributed. Twelve months retained, exportable for your own reporting.
Assign exactly what each person needs. No more, no less.
Set access on any folder, for any member or group, and everything inside it follows. Combine them as the work needs: auditors who can view and download but change nothing, contractors who can upload deliverables.

- Confidential client data stays isolated
- No account needed for one-off file requests
- Employees

- Every action logged and attributable
- Access revocable the day they finish
- Vendors
Vendor collaboration
Project folders for contractors and vendors. Upload for deliverables, view and download for reference material, nothing else.

Questions, answered
What is FileBackerz?
FileBackerz is a web app for storing and sharing business files. You decide what each person can do on each folder, invite clients, contractors and auditors at no extra cost, and every upload, download and permission change is recorded in an audit log.
How much does FileBackerz cost?
One plan: $49.99 a month, or $499.90 a year, for the whole workspace. It includes 1 TB of storage and unlimited members, with no per-user fees. Extra storage is optional, at $25 per 500 GB per month.
Is there a free trial?
Yes: 60 days with 10 GB of storage, and no credit card. The trial never turns into a paid plan on its own - you decide whether to subscribe.
Can clients send me files without creating an account?
Yes. Create a file request on any folder and send the link. People can upload without signing up, and you can ask for their name and email, add a password or an expiry date, and limit how many files they send and how large each one is.
How do folder permissions work?
On each folder you give a member or a group any combination of seven permissions: View, Download, Upload, Edit, Delete, Share and Manage. Permissions on a folder apply to everything inside it, and you can remove someone's access at any time.
Can I use my own cloud storage?
Yes. Connect Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage or Google Drive under your own credentials. Your files are stored in your own account, you pay the provider directly, and FileBackerz adds the permissions, sharing and audit log on top.
How is my data protected?
Files are encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, and two-factor authentication is available on every account. FileBackerz does not hold a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification; the Trust & Security page lists the measures we commit to contractually instead.
What does FileBackerz not do?
FileBackerz runs in the browser. There is no desktop sync client, no mobile app and no real-time co-editing, and each file can be up to 100 MB.
Who can sign up?
FileBackerz is currently available to businesses based in the United States.
