FAQ
What is the best alternative to Filebase?
Backblaze B2 (legacy cloud benchmark) is our top-scoring storage alternative right now (8.6/10). Compare the full table before deciding.
Why would I switch from Filebase?
Common reasons: a better price in the same unit, a lighter KYC policy, published proof of hashrate/compute, or a provider that lets you exit instead of locking you into a long contract.
Are these alternatives safer than Filebase?
Not automatically. Every provider is scored on the same criteria - check the proof and KYC columns and start small with any of them.
