Your IT Team Just Blocked Dropbox. Now What?
If you're a compliance officer watching employees email 40MB PDFs around your SOC 2 audit, you need a file-sharing platform that doesn't get you fired.
Custom enterprise file sharing platforms with end-to-end encryption, granular access controls, and full compliance audit trails.
Building an enterprise file sharing platform means writing custom software so your organization can securely store, share, and manage files -- across teams, departments, and outside partners. Dropbox and Google Drive aren't built for this. You need granular permissions, encryption at rest and in transit, compliance audit trails, and clean hooks into your existing identity providers and business systems. Consumer tools just don't get you there.

Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.

Custom-designed for your industry. No templates. No stock photos.
How We Build This Right
Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.
End-to-End Encryption
AES-256 encryption for files at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. Zero-knowledge architecture is available if you need it -- even platform admins can't read file contents.
Granular Access Controls
Role-based and attribute-based access policies down to the individual file. Sharing links can be time-limited, set to expire automatically, and revoked instantly.
Complete Audit Trails
Every upload, download, view, share, and deletion gets logged -- timestamps, user IDs, IP addresses, all of it. Audit reports export cleanly for compliance reviews.
Compliance Framework Support
Built to satisfy HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and FedRAMP requirements from day one. Data retention and disposal policies are fully configurable.
High-Performance Uploads
Chunked, resumable uploads handle files up to 50GB without timeouts. CDN-backed distribution keeps downloads fast whether your team is in Austin or Amsterdam.
SSO & Directory Integration
Native integration with Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, and LDAP. Automatic user provisioning and deprovisioning via SCIM.
What We Build
Purpose-built features for your industry.
Resumable Chunked Uploads
Large files upload reliably even over unstable connections, automatically picking up from the last successful chunk.
Real-Time Collaboration Indicators
See who's viewing or editing a file in real time through WebSocket-driven presence indicators.
Version History & Rollback
Every file revision is stored with diff metadata, so rolling back to any previous version takes seconds, not a support ticket.
Folder-Level Policies
Set encryption, retention, watermarking, and access rules at the folder level and they cascade to everything inside automatically.
External Sharing Rooms
Secure data rooms let you share files with clients, vendors, or auditors -- no full platform account required.
Full-Text Search & Metadata
Full-text and metadata search so users find documents in milliseconds, not the ten minutes they're currently burning.
Built on a Modern, Secure Stack
Our Development Process
From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.
Security & Compliance Audit
Week 1-2We map your regulatory requirements, existing infrastructure, and identity providers. You walk away with a compliance matrix and system architecture document.
Architecture & Prototype
Week 3-4We design the encryption scheme, access control model, and storage architecture, then build a clickable prototype so stakeholders can validate before we write a line of production code.
Core Platform Build
Week 5-10We build the upload engine, permission system, audit logging, and SSO integration -- chunked uploads, versioning, search indexing, all of it.
Penetration Testing & Compliance Validation
Week 11-12A third-party penetration test, vulnerability scan, and compliance checklist walkthrough. We fix every finding before launch. Nothing ships with open issues.
Deployment & Hardening
Week 13-14We deploy to your cloud or ours using infrastructure-as-code. Thirty days of post-launch monitoring, incident response, and performance tuning are included.
