Do you scan files for viruses?

Because of our end-to-end encryption, we cannot see the contents of your files, which means we physically cannot scan them for viruses or malware.

We believe this is the right trade-off. For a service to scan your files, it must be able to decrypt and read them. This means the provider can also view your personal photos, read your confidential documents, and analyze your data. We prioritize your privacy above all else.

It is also worth noting that server-side scanning is never 100% effective. Competitors who claim to scan for viruses cannot catch every new threat, and relying on them can create a false sense of security.

The best defense against malware is to maintain robust security measures on your own device, such as keeping your operating system and software up to date, and/or using reputable local antivirus software, and practicing safe browsing habits. This protects you not just from files downloaded here, but from threats across the entire internet.
