Why it matters where your personal files live
Free cloud storage is not free. The platforms that offer it without charge are businesses, and your data is part of what makes them profitable. Photos of your children, personal documents, creative work, private correspondence: all of it stored on servers that can read it, scan it, and use it.
Bigby works differently. You pay a fair price for storage, and that is the whole arrangement. No advertising, no data harvesting, no AI training on your content. Encryption at rest means your files are stored in encrypted form on UK servers. We do not access what you store, and a subscription business has no reason to. UK data residency means your files stay in the UK under UK law.
What every Bigby plan includes
Regardless of which plan you choose, these foundations are in place for every account, on every plan, without exception.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bigby only for the situations listed?
Not at all. The situation pages focus on specific use cases where the case for private storage is particularly clear. Bigby is suitable for anyone who wants to store files without their data being read, scanned, or monetised. If you value privacy and want your files in the UK under UK law, Bigby is built for you regardless of which category you fall into.
Why pay for storage when Google Photos and iCloud are free?
Google Photos and iCloud are free because your data has value to the companies behind them. Photos are scanned, faces are identified, content is analysed, and in some cases stored content is used to train AI. Bigby charges a straightforward fee because that is the only thing we sell. No data, no profiles, no secondary uses. For most people the difference is invisible day to day. For people who have thought about it, it matters.
Is Bigby difficult to use?
No. Bigby is available on web and desktop and is designed to be straightforward for everyday use. You upload files, access them when you need them, and share what you choose to share. The encryption happens automatically in the background. No technical knowledge is required to get started.
