Failed external drives

Fully managed cloud archive for South African media companies. Enterprise-grade security, zero upload fees, and content that is always searchable, protected, and accessible.
The Problem
Whether it is raw footage, final cuts, audio masters, or archive material - losing access to your creative work is not an option.
Hard drives fail. It is not a question of if, but when. One crash can wipe years of irreplaceable content.
Managing NAS devices, RAID arrays, and backup schedules should not be your team's job. You are creatives, not IT admins.

Security and Protection
We built security into every layer of Clowdy Vault so you can focus on creating, not worrying.
Your files are locked with bank-level encryption the moment they land in our vault. Even if someone gained access to the storage, your content would be unreadable without the key.
Every file you upload or download travels through a secure, encrypted tunnel. No one can intercept or view your files in transit.
Every user needs a password plus a one-time code from their phone to log in. Even if a password is stolen, your account stays locked.
You decide who can upload, who can edit, and who can manage the platform. Team members only see and do what they are authorized to.
Every action is logged - who accessed what, when, and from where. You will always know exactly what is happening with your content.
Your files travel through private, dedicated pathways inside our cloud infrastructure - they never cross the open internet where they could be exposed.
Our platform is shielded against common cyber attacks, with automatic blocking of suspicious activity before it reaches your content.
Every file is checked after upload and regularly verified for integrity. If something ever went wrong, we would know before you do.
Accidentally deleted or overwritten a file? We keep previous versions so nothing is ever truly lost.
