Store, manage, and share files with the power of Amazon S3 — without handing your data to Amazon or Google. Start with a shared leased plan, or go fully dedicated with your own VM and domain.
Big cloud storage is powerful — but it comes with a hidden cost in money, compliance, and control that most teams only discover after it's too late.
AWS S3 and Google Cloud charge for storage and every GET request and every GB you transfer out. A single viral video or a backup job running out of region can spike your bill by hundreds of dollars overnight — with no warning and no cap.
When you store data on Amazon or Google's infrastructure, their terms of service give them broad rights to analyze and process that data. For healthcare, legal, and financial teams, this isn't just uncomfortable — it's a compliance violation waiting to happen.
Bucket policies, IAM roles, ACLs, service accounts — AWS and GCP's permission systems are powerful but notoriously complex. A misconfigured bucket policy is the #1 cause of cloud data breaches. Beezifi uses simple role-based access that works in minutes, not days.
Once your applications are tightly coupled to S3-specific APIs, bucket lifecycle rules, and CloudFront distributions, migrating away costs more in engineering hours than you saved. Egress fees make it literally expensive to leave — by design.
Beezifi Storage gives you every capability of enterprise cloud storage — running on infrastructure you control.
Create unlimited buckets per organization. Set per-bucket quotas, visibility (public/private), versioning, and lifecycle policies. Each bucket is isolated — an issue in one never affects another.
Generate time-limited signed URLs for secure, temporary file sharing — no account required to download. Set expiry in seconds. Every access is logged to your audit trail automatically.
Invite team members with Owner, Admin, or Member roles. Owners control billing and members. Admins manage buckets and policies. Members read and upload — nothing more. Fine-grained bucket-level policies for advanced use.
Every upload, download, deletion, link generation, and access is timestamped and stored. Filter by file name or action type. Know exactly who accessed what, when, and from which IP — no extra service needed.
Protect every account with authenticator-app 2FA (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password). Users can enable, disable, and rotate their TOTP secret from Settings. No SMS codes — no SIM-swap risk.
Upload files of any size with chunked multipart upload support. Real-time upload progress streamed via WebSocket so your users always know what's happening. Resume interrupted uploads automatically.
Go beyond simple roles with per-bucket allow/deny rules. Grant specific users read-only access to one bucket while blocking everything else. Policies work across users, roles, and API keys.
Generate labeled API keys for CI/CD pipelines, backend services, and automation scripts. Each key is scoped, audited, and can be revoked instantly. No more sharing login credentials with your deployment systems.
Every overwrite creates a new version — never lose a file again. Recover any previous version of any object from the UI or API. Versioning is enabled by default on every bucket.

Start with shared leased storage for a flat prepaid term, or go fully dedicated with your own VM and domain. No per-request fees. No egress charges. No surprises.
Mix and match: Storage and bandwidth tiers are independent. Pick 200 GB storage with 10 GB bandwidth, or 25 GB storage with 1 TB bandwidth — whatever fits your workload.
All leased plans include bandwidth tiers starting at 10 GB/mo ($9/mo) up to 1 TB/mo ($299/mo) — chosen independently.
Not shared with anyone. Your data lives on a server that belongs to your account — isolated, private, and accessible only through your own domain.
We don't sell security as an add-on. Every feature below is included in every plan, on day one.
Your files live on servers you control. We never have access to your data — not even for support. Deploy in any region, any datacenter, on-prem or cloud.
Every account can be protected with a TOTP authenticator app. No SMS codes, no SIM-swap vulnerabilities. Required login for 2FA-enrolled users — no bypass.
Every action — upload, download, deletion, link generation, and external access — is logged with timestamp, actor identity, and source IP. Searchable and filterable.
Owners, Admins, and Members each have clearly scoped permissions. Owners manage billing and team. Members can only read and upload — they can't delete, change policies, or see billing.
Share private files without exposing credentials. Every signed URL has a hard expiry, is tied to a specific file, and every access is recorded in the audit trail with the accessor's IP.
Issue labeled API keys for automated systems, CI/CD pipelines, and integrations. Keys are independently revocable and audited separately from user sessions.
Enabled by default. Every write creates an immutable version. Ransomware, accidental deletes, and overwrites can all be rolled back instantly from the dashboard.
Unlike Amazon and Google, we have zero visibility into your stored data. No analytics pipelines, no ML training on your files, no ad targeting. Your data is simply not ours to see.
Subscribe to storage events and fire webhooks to your SIEM, Slack, or custom security pipelines. Know the moment a file is uploaded, deleted, or accessed — in real time.
A clean REST API, API key auth, and full docs. Integrate object storage into your app in minutes — no AWS SDK, no vendor abstractions.
Join teams that chose privacy over convenience, predictability over per-request billing, and ownership over vendor dependency.
