Files

An archive that knows itself.

S3-compatible storage with full file lineage. Every artifact has a byline, a date, and a place. Agents file their own work — and yours — without asking twice.

Storage

S3-compatible. Bring your own bucket.

Files is a thin layer of intelligence over object storage. Use ours, AWS S3, GCS, R2, Backblaze, or any S3-compatible backend. Self-host the layer too — Files runs on your hardware.

  • S3-compatible — AWS S3, GCS, R2, Backblaze, MinIO
  • Self-host the file index alongside your bucket
  • Per-file encryption at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3)
  • Regional data residency: US, EU, APAC, sovereign

Lineage

Versioned. Named. Owned. Forever.

Every file in Boxes has a complete history — who edited what, when, with which agent. Restore any version. Trace any artifact back to the source Doc, Sheet, or Mail thread that produced it.

  • Full version history per file (no retention cap)
  • Provenance graph linking files to source surfaces
  • Per-file byline showing humans + agents
  • One-keystroke restore to any moment in time

Thanks for the kind notes on the balanced variant. Attaching the redlined v3 with the requested term changes — net-45, mutual indemnity, and the data-residency rider you flagged. Happy to walk through it on Thursday at 4 PM if useful.

Lineage is the killer feature. I clicked a PDF and saw the four sources it came from — and the seven agent decisions in between. Audit prep is a non-event now.
