Cloud storage that
charges you fairly.
Store files, protect private documents and collaborate securely — billed only for the storage you actually keep. No plans. No wasted spend.
One account. Three storage types.
Each type serves a different purpose. All three are included on every plan — no feature tiers, no add-ons.
The more you store,
the less per GB.
No plans. No bundles. Downloads and sharing are always free.
You are billed only for the storage you actually keep — measured by the second. Delete a file and billing stops immediately. All features included at every tier.

No surprise bills. Ever.
Set a monthly limit. Use storage up to that amount. Pay only for what you kept.
Choose a monthly max — ₹149, ₹499, or any amount. You can only store up to that limit. Overages are impossible.
Every byte is tracked in real time. Delete a file at any point — billing stops that instant.
At month end, exactly what you used is collected via UPI auto-pay — never more than your set limit.
Built secure from the start.
Not bolted on. Privacy is an architectural decision, not a checkbox.
We cannot read your Vault.
Files in your Vault are encrypted on your device before upload. Only your PIN can unlock the decryption keys. Our servers store only ciphertext — we have no backdoor.
If you forget your PIN, only your recovery phrase restores access. We cannot help you recover it.
Technical details
ECDH P-256 key exchange derives a per-file DEK. Each DEK is wrapped with your public key. Your private key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a PBKDF2-derived key from your PIN. We store only the encrypted private key blob.
No public links.
No guessable URLs.
Files are only accessible to people you explicitly invite by email or username. There are no public share links — only verified account holders can receive a file.
Shares are revocable anytime. Set view limits, expiry dates, or require confirmed receipt before a file auto-deletes.
Technical details
Every download request is authenticated against a Clerk-issued JWT. The worker checks file ownership, active team membership, or an explicit share record keyed to the recipient's verified account ID — not a URL token.
Sharing that fits your intent.
Different storage types serve different purposes. Sharing rules match each one.
Common questions.
Why DataDrop instead of Google Drive or Dropbox?
They charge you for a fixed block — 100 GB, 2 TB — whether you use it or not. If you store 22 GB, you still pay the full tier rate.
DataDrop charges only for what you keep, measured by the second. It also adds a zero-knowledge Vault and encrypted Workspaces that competitors don't offer at any price.
How exactly is billing calculated?
Byte-second billing: we track how many bytes you store and for how long, then multiply by the per-GB-month rate at month end.
Example: 10 GB stored for exactly half a month costs half the monthly rate for 10 GB. Delete a file on day 15 and it stops contributing to your bill immediately.
What happens when the free trial ends?
Your account becomes read-only. You can still view and download all your files — nothing is deleted. To upload again, add funds to your wallet and set a monthly limit.
Your files are kept for 30 days after the trial ends. You receive email reminders before any action is taken.
Can DataDrop read my Vault files?
No. Vault files are encrypted on your device before upload using keys only you hold. Our servers receive only ciphertext. We have no backdoor and no mechanism to decrypt.
If you forget your PIN, only the recovery phrase you set at Vault creation can restore access.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts, no annual commitments, no cancellation fees. During the trial, no payment is required at all. After the trial, billing is month-to-month based on usage.
What happens if a payment fails?
If UPI auto-pay fails, your account moves to read-only status. Files remain safe and accessible. You receive email reminders at 30, 60, and 85 days. Files are permanently deleted only after 90 days of non-payment, with advance notice before any deletion.
Why are there three storage types?
Files — everyday storage with flexible sharing. Works like Google Drive but pay-per-use.
Vault — personal private storage. Zero-knowledge encryption means only you can open it.
Workspace — encrypted collaboration for teams or clients. Only invited members have access.
Is DataDrop available on mobile?
DataDrop is a web app that works on all modern browsers, including mobile browsers on iOS and Android. You can access all features — Files, Vault, Workspace — from any device without installing anything.
