Filebase
Filebase provides S3-compatible object storage and IPFS storage for storing and delivering files.
What Filebase is
Filebase provides S3-compatible object storage and IPFS storage for storing and delivering files. Its S3 API supports uploads, downloads, listing, multipart uploads, pre-signed URLs, and CORS. IPFS features include pinning, IPNS names, dedicated gateways, static-site hosting, and IPFS APIs. Filebase includes a CDN and routes bucket access through a single global S3 endpoint. Server-side AES-256 encryption is always on, and TLS is included for data in transit. Integrations include AWS CLI and SDKs, rclone, s3cmd, Cyberduck, WinSCP, Veeam, Commvault, Synology Cloud Sync, TrueNAS, and other S3 clients. The Free plan has 5 GB shared storage, 500 pinned files, 10 GB IPFS egress, free object egress, and one bucket. Pro costs $7.50/mo and includes 500 GB shared storage, unlimited pinned files, 250 GB IPFS egress, free object egress, and 100 buckets. IPFS bandwidth is billable; object-storage egress is free on paid plans. Filebase does not support customer-provided server-side encryption keys or separate KMS integration.
