Your Data, Fortified.
Welcome to the Elifile Trust Center. Learn about the military-grade security and redundant backups that power our platform.
Our Foundation
Our Security-First Philosophy
In the modern digital age, your data is your most valuable asset. At Elifile, we don’t just understand this; we’ve built our entire company around this principle. Security isn’t a feature we added—it is our foundation. We believe that privacy is a fundamental right, not a luxury.
Our core security model is built on the principle of **Zero-Knowledge Encryption**. This is a simple but powerful promise: **We can never see your files. Ever.** Unlike other cloud providers who may scan your data for keywords to sell you ads or “improve services,” our architecture makes this impossible. Your files are encrypted on your device *before* they are uploaded to our servers. You, and only you, hold the encryption key. This means that even in the unlikely event of a breach of our servers, your files would be nothing more than unreadable, scrambled gibberish to anyone else. We can’t be forced to turn over your data, because we don’t have access to it in the first place. This is the ultimate form of digital privacy.
Client-Side Encryption (AES-256)
We use military-grade AES-256 encryption, the same standard trusted by banks and governments. Your files are locked on your device before they ever leave it.
Geo-Redundant Backup
Your encrypted files are replicated across multiple, geographically separate data centers. This protects your data from any single point of failure, be it a fire, flood, or hardware issue.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Protect your account from unauthorized access. We support all major 2FA methods, including app-based (TOTP) and physical security keys (U2F).
Version History & File Recovery
Accidentally deleted a file? Overwrote an important document? Elifile automatically saves snapshots of your files, allowing you to roll back to a previous version or recover a deleted file for up to 30 days.
The Elifile Vault
Your Digital Fortress, Explained
Understanding Client-Side Encryption
“Client-side” means all the work happens on your device (the client). When you add a file to Elifile, it is immediately encrypted using your unique master password—a password that we *never* receive. Think of it like this: your file is put inside a physical safe, and you are the only person in the world with the key. You then send this locked safe to us for storage. We can see the safe, we can protect it, we can store it for you, but we have absolutely no way to open it.
This is what we mean by **Zero-Knowledge**. We have zero knowledge of what you are storing. This model is the only way to guarantee true privacy. It means we cannot be hacked for your data. It means we cannot be forced by a government to turn over your data. It means we cannot sell your data to advertisers. It is, simply put, the most secure cloud storage model available today.
Account-Level Protection
While your files are encrypted, your account itself is the gateway. We protect it just as rigorously. We enforce strong password policies and offer robust Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). We highly recommend enabling 2FA, which requires both your password and a second code (from an app like Google Authenticator or a physical YubiKey).
Our systems also actively monitor for suspicious activity. Multiple failed login attempts from an unknown location will trigger an automatic temporary account lockout and an email notification to you. We protect your account’s front door with the same vigilance that we protect your data inside.
Data Durability
Beyond Sync: True Backup & Recovery
The Power of File Version History
A simple sync service is not a backup. If you accidentally delete a file on your laptop, a sync service will dutifully delete it from the cloud. Elifile is different. We provide a 30-day “rewind” for your entire drive.
Every time you save a change to a file, Elifile doesn’t just overwrite the old one. It creates a new “version” while keeping the old one hidden for 30 days. This means you can easily roll back to a previous state. Did you accidentally delete three paragraphs from your thesis? Just right-click the file, select ‘Version History’, and restore the copy from yesterday. Did your computer get hit with ransomware? You can simply restore your entire drive to the state it was in 24 hours ago, rendering the attack useless.
Deleted File Recovery & Geo-Redundancy
When you delete a file, it isn’t gone forever. It’s moved to the Elifile Trash, where it is held for an additional 30 days before being permanently purged. This gives you a crucial safety net against accidental deletions.
Behind the scenes, your data is protected from physical disaster. Your (already encrypted) files are not just stored on one server. They are replicated and stored in multiple, geographically separate, state-of-the-art data centers. These facilities feature 24/7 security, biometric access controls, and redundant power. This means that even if an entire data center were to be compromised by a natural disaster, your data would remain safe and accessible from our other locations.
