Last updated: December 17, 2025
Acceptance of Terms
By using Foldr.Space, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use our service.
Service Description
Foldr.Space is a file sharing service that allows you to upload and share files up to 2GB in size. We offer both free and paid (Pro) tiers with different features and storage options.
Free Tier: Files are automatically deleted after 7-90 days.
Pro Tier: Includes permanent storage, password protection, client-side encryption, and additional features.
Our Security Commitments
We commit to protecting your data with the following security measures:
✅ What We Guarantee
- Encryption in Transit: All data transferred between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3
- Encryption at Rest: All stored files are encrypted using AES-256 on our infrastructure
- Secure Password Storage: All passwords are hashed using bcrypt (10 salt rounds) and never stored in plaintext
- Cryptographic Tokens: All share links use cryptographically secure random tokens
- Signed Download URLs: Download links are time-limited and cryptographically signed
- Row Level Security: Database access is controlled by strict security policies
- Rate Limiting: Automated protection against brute force attacks and abuse
🔐 Pro Security Features
- Password Protection: Restrict file access with bcrypt-hashed passwords
- Client-Side Encryption: Enable zero-knowledge encryption where files are encrypted in your browser before upload
- Encryption Key Control: With client-side encryption, only you hold the decryption key
⚠️ Important Limitations
- Without Client-Side Encryption: Foldr.Space and our infrastructure providers (Supabase/AWS) technically have the ability to access stored files. This is standard for most cloud storage services.
- Password Recovery: If you enable client-side encryption and forget your password, we cannot recover your files. The encryption key is never transmitted to our servers.
- Service Availability: While we strive for 99.9% uptime, we do not guarantee uninterrupted service.
For complete security details, please see our Security page and Privacy Policy.
