Filebase provides S3-compatible object storage and IPFS storage for keeping and delivering files. Its S3 API supports uploads, downloads, listings, multipart uploads, pre-signed URLs, and CORS. IPFS capabilities include pinning, IPNS names, dedicated gateways, static-site hosting, and IPFS APIs. Filebase includes a CDN and routes bucket access through one global S3 endpoint. Integrations include AWS CLI and SDKs, rclone, s3cmd, Cyberduck, WinSCP, Veeam, Commvault, Synology Cloud Sync, TrueNAS, and other S3 clients. Server-side AES-256 encryption is always on, and TLS is used for data in transit. 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 per month 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.
