How much does ZDrive Drive storage cost?

Storing a file costs credits by size (a 10MB file is around $1.80), paid once, then held permanently on Arweave with no monthly fee and no storage tier. Files are capped at 50MB each. Sealing a public, verifiable receipt for a file costs a flat 1 credit.

The Problem

Dropbox can read every file
you've ever uploaded.

Every custodial cloud drive works the same way underneath the branding — Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, all of them. They hold the key, not you. That's not a hosting detail. It's the whole business model.

They can read it

Every file you upload can be opened, scanned, and handed over on request. Encryption at rest isn't encryption from the provider.

They can ban you

Account suspended, no warning, no appeal. Your files were never really yours to keep — they were access you rented.

They hold the key

Platform gets acquired. Policy changes. Company folds. You had access, not ownership. There is a difference.

Three Guarantees

Not features.
Guarantees.

A drive that can't read your files, can't lose them, and can't lock you out — because none of those things are structurally possible.

Encrypted

AES-256-GCM, client-side. Your files are unreadable ciphertext before they ever leave your browser. We physically cannot read them.

Client-Side AES-256-GCM

Permanent

Stored on Arweave, not "backed up." Written once, held forever. No company can delete it, lose it, or fold and take it with them.

Arweave Permanent Storage

Sovereign

Your wallet is the key. No account to hack, no password to leak, no company database to breach.

Storage

Pay once.
Owned forever.

Every other drive rents you space by the month — and still holds the key. Here you pay one time to store a file, and it's yours for good. No subscription. No renewal notice. No company that can raise the rent or lock the door.

Per File, Once

One payment — stored forever

Credits start at $0.015. A 10MB file stores permanently for around $1.80 — paid once, not every month.

Encrypted client-side before it uploads — we hold ciphertext, never your file
Written to Arweave, funded for centuries — permanent, not "backed up"
One payment per file. No subscription, no storage tier, no renewal
Costs more today than a month of Dropbox. Then it never costs anything again.

Store your first file How it works

A month of Dropbox buys you access until you stop paying. The same money here buys a file that outlives the company. Priced by the byte, paid once, capped at 50MB per file.

Seal

Seal it. Forever.
One credit.

Turn any file into a permanent, publicly-verifiable record — a contract, a will, proof you had something before anyone else did. One click, one credit, done.

Per File, Once

1 credit — sealed forever

Credits start from $0.015. No subscription. No storage tier. No renewal notice five years from now.

Flat one-credit fee regardless of the sealed file's size — priced by the guarantee, not the gigabyte

Sealed once means sealed forever — the same permanence guarantee as everything else you store here. File uploads are capped at 50MB each.

Questions

Answered.

Is ZDrive Drive actually private?

Yes — and here's the proof, not just the claim: encryption happens in your browser before a single byte reaches our servers. We can't read your files even if we wanted to. AES-256-GCM, client-side, always.

What happens if ZDrive shuts down?

Your files don't live on our servers — they live on Arweave, a permanent, decentralized network already funded for centuries of storage. If ZDrive disappeared tomorrow, your files wouldn't.

How much does storage cost?

Storing a file costs credits by size — a 10MB file is around $1.80 — paid once, then stored permanently on Arweave with no monthly fee and no storage tier to upgrade. Files are capped at 50MB each. Sealing a public, verifiable receipt for a file is a flat 1 credit.

Is this a Dropbox or Box replacement?

If you want unlimited cheap storage for casual files, no — that's not what this is for. If you have a small number of files that must never be lost, altered, or read by anyone but you, this is built exactly for that.

Your drive. Nobody else's.
