Filen
Next Generation End-To-End Encrypted Cloud Storage

Filen is a zero-knowledge, client-side encrypted cloud storage service headquartered in Germany. It offers file storage, sync, notes, and encrypted chat, with all data protected by AES-256 encryption that even Filen cannot access. The platform includes developer tools such as TypeScript and Go SDKs, a CLI, WebDAV and S3 support, and network drive mounting.
Filen encrypts all files client-side using AES-256 zero-knowledge encryption before upload, ensuring no one — including Filen — can read user data, while providing sync, notes, chat, and developer integrations on top.
