FAQ

What exactly is Safebox?
Safebox is a self-hosted software platform that lets you install and run powerful open-source applications — like file storage, media streaming, smart home control, and more — directly on your own device. It's designed to give you full control over your digital environment without relying on cloud services.
How is Safebox different from platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud?
Unlike traditional cloud services, Safebox doesn't rely on external servers. Your data stays on your own machine, with no tracking, no subscription traps, and no vendor lock-in. You control what’s installed, where your data lives, and who has access.
What is Geo-redundant backup and why it is useful?
Your data is securely backed up to devices in different physical locations, not just on your local network. You can set up encrypted backups to other trusted Safebox instances, even in separate cities or countries. This protects your data against local failures or hardware damage, ensuring you can recover it from anywhere, anytime.
Is remote access really free? How does registration work?
Remote access is free for everyone. Because Safebox is open-source and runs entirely on donations, remote access and geo-redundant remote backup require a free registration with the Safebox registry. This keeps the service fair for everybody and comes with a limited, fair-share bandwidth. Local self-hosting and local backups need no registration at all.
Where is my data stored by Safebox?
Your data is stored only on your devices — either on the main Safebox host or on additional backup endpoints you configure. Nothing is sent to external servers unless you explicitly set it up (e.g., via remote backup to another trusted device).
Is Safebox really open source and free to use?
Yes. The Safebox framework and installer are fully open-source and free for personal or professional use. There are no subscriptions and no paid tiers; the project is sustained by community donations. You can inspect the code, contribute to development, or adapt it to your own needs.
Can I access my apps and files from anywhere? What is remote access?
Yes — remote access is available to everyone for free. This feature allows you to connect your installed apps to a custom domain (your own or one registered through the Safebox registry), so you can securely log in from any browser, anywhere in the world. Because it runs on donations, remote access uses a fair, limited bandwidth and requires a free registry registration.
How are backups handled, and are they secure?
Safebox includes built-in encrypted backup functionality. Local backups over your own network are completely free with no registration. Remote, geo-redundant backups are also free, but require a free registry registration and run on a limited, fair-share bandwidth. This is how we keep the service fair and sustainable through donations.
