Why northfiles

The essentials, done properly

We focus on a few things that small teams actually need, and try to make each of them reliable and pleasant to use.

Fast file delivery

Files are cached close to the people downloading them, with support for range requests and resumable downloads.

Storage for media

Keep images, video, audio and documents in one place. Organise them in folders and get thumbnails for common formats.

Private links

Share a file with a signed link that expires when you want it to. Revoke access at any time with one request.

Simple API

A small, predictable REST API. Upload with a single curl command and manage everything from your own code.

How it works

Up and running in three steps

  1. Upload your files

    Drop files into the web dashboard or send them through the API. Large uploads are split into parts automatically.

  2. Choose who can see them

    Make a folder public, or keep it private and generate signed links with an expiry date for each recipient.

  3. Share and deliver

    Embed links in your site or app, send them to clients, and let northfiles handle the delivery.
