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.
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
Encryption at rest, UK infrastructure, and no business model built on your data
Unlike the major cloud platforms, Bigby does not scan, analyse, or profit from the files you store. Here is what that means for your content library.
01. Encrypted at rest
Your files are encrypted on our UK servers. The data stored on our infrastructure is in encrypted form, which provides meaningful protection in the event of a storage breach and ensures your files are not sitting as readable plain text on any server.
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. Your videos, recordings, drafts, and unreleased work are stored without anyone at Bigby reading or viewing them.
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
Will Bigby ever use my content to train AI?
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.
Can I store large video and audio files?
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.
I work with an editor or collaborator. Can they access my files?
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.
Does it work with editing software like Premiere or Logic?
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.
What if I want to move my files to a different service later?
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.
Why pay for storage when free options exist?
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.
