What Makes Filen Special?
1. True End-to-End Encryption (E2EE): Your Data, Fully Private
Unlike many popular cloud storage providers that only encrypt data on their servers, Filen encrypts your data before it even leaves your device. This means that only you hold the decryption keys, ensuring that your files remain private and inaccessible to anyone else, including Filen itself.- How it works: Files are encrypted with AES 256-bit encryption locally, and only encrypted data is uploaded to the cloud. Even if Filen's servers are compromised, your files remain safe.
2. Zero-Knowledge Architecture
Filen operates on a zero-knowledge model, meaning the service doesn’t store or have access to your passwords, keys, or unencrypted files.- Why it matters: With zero-knowledge architecture, you are in full control of your data. Filen can’t read your files, hand them over to third parties, or expose them during a breach.
