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. Your files are encrypted in transit and at rest, which means they are protected on the way to us and while stored 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.

Encryption in transit and at rest

Your files are encrypted on the way to us and while stored on our UK servers. We hold the keys so that browser editing works, and we do not access or read stored content.

UK data residency

All data is stored on UK infrastructure. UK GDPR applies throughout.

No AI training

Your files are never used to train AI models. A firm commitment, backed by a business model that has no use for your data.

No data harvesting

Your files are not scanned, profiled, or used for advertising. Ever.

Honest pricing

A fair subscription fee. No free tier funded by your data. No hidden model.

No lock-in

WebDAV support and open standards. Your files are always yours to take elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.

Plans start at £3.99 per month for 100 GB of encrypted storage on annual billing. The Office plan adds document and spreadsheet collaboration from £5.99 per month. For families or groups, the Group plan starts from £4.99 per user per month. Additional storage can be added to any plan for £1.49 per month per 100 GB. Monthly billing is available on every plan, and paying for a year up front gets you two months free. Full pricing is at bigby.cloud/drive/#pricing.
