You built your audience. Your content should not be building someone else’s AI.

Bigby gives independent creators encrypted, UK-based cloud storage for the videos, audio, writing, and assets that represent your work. Private by design, from the moment you upload.

See storage plansWhy it matters

Your content is your business. Treat its storage accordingly.

Whether you make videos, record podcasts, write newsletters, or run a blog, the files behind your content represent real creative and commercial value. The platform you store them on has a say in what happens to that value, whether you realise it or not.

Most creators use whatever cloud storage is easiest. Often that means a free service from a major platform. Those platforms are not neutral. They scan what you store, their terms permit the use of that content in AI development, and the data you hand them feeds systems that may one day compete directly with what you create. For many creators, that is a trade they would not consciously make.

What storing your content on a free platform actually means

Free cloud storage is a product. You are not the customer. Here is what the arrangement looks like when you read past the headline.

AI training on your content

Major cloud providers have updated their terms to permit stored content to be used in AI development. Video footage, audio recordings, written drafts, and editing project files can all fall within scope. Your voice, your style, your unreleased material: all of it potentially feeding models that generate content in competition with you. Once used for training, it cannot be untrained.

Unreleased work at risk

The content most worth protecting is the content you have not published yet. A video in post-production, a draft series you are sitting on, an audio project not yet released. Storing unreleased work on a platform with broad usage rights in its terms means that material is in scope before your audience has even seen it.

Your voice and style are data

For video and audio creators in particular, what you store is not just files. It is your voice, your presenting style, your creative decisions. AI systems trained on enough of that material can replicate it. The platforms storing your content have more incentive to use it than to protect it.

Data stored outside the UK

US platforms store data under US jurisdiction. For creators building a business, that means your content archive sits outside UK legal protection and is potentially accessible to US authorities under US law. Bigby stores everything in the UK, under UK GDPR, with no overseas exposure.

How Bigby works

Unlike the major cloud platforms, Bigby does not scan, analyse, or profit from the files you store. Here is how that works.

01. Encrypted in transit and at rest

Your files are encrypted on the way to us and while they sit on our UK servers, so they are protected in transit and never stored as readable plain text. We hold the encryption keys, which is what allows features like editing documents in your browser to work.

02. No access to file contents

Bigby does not open, scan, or read the contents of what you store. We have no business reason to and our data processing terms prohibit it.

03. No AI training or secondary use

Your stored content is not used for AI training, advertising targeting, or any analysis of any kind. The subscription fee covers the cost of running the service. That is the entire arrangement.

04. Your content stays in the UK

All data is stored on UK-based infrastructure. UK GDPR applies. Your content archive, including everything unreleased, does not leave the UK and is not subject to foreign data laws.

Frequently asked questions

No. We do not access the contents of your files. Bigby is a subscription service. Your subscription fee covers the cost of storing and delivering your files. There is no advertising model, no AI pipeline, and no commercial reason to analyse what you store.

Yes. Bigby is well suited to large file storage. For most video creators, the 500 GB or 1 TB plans are the most practical starting point. Storage can be topped up at any point for £1.49 per month per 100 GB, so you are not locked into a tier that no longer fits as your library grows.

Yes. You can share specific folders with anyone you choose. For creators working regularly with editors, co-hosts, or collaborators, the Group plan provides shared encrypted storage and document collaboration for teams of three or more from £4.99 per user per month. Everyone accesses only what they need and all files stay encrypted throughout.

Bigby supports WebDAV, an open standard compatible with a wide range of applications and operating systems. Many editing workflows that involve syncing or accessing project files from a network drive will work alongside Bigby without disruption. We are happy to answer specifics if you have a particular setup in mind.

Your files are always yours to download. Bigby supports WebDAV so you are never locked in. If you decide to move your content library elsewhere, you can do so at any time with no export fees and no barriers. We do not make leaving difficult.

Free storage platforms are businesses. The content you store with them has value to them, and their terms reflect that. For creators who treat their content as a commercial asset, paying a straightforward fee for storage that does not read, scan, or train on your work is not an overhead. It is part of protecting what you have built.

Your content took time and effort to make. Store it somewhere that respects that.

Private, encrypted, UK-based cloud storage from £3.99 per month. No AI training, no content scanning, no data deals.
