Who we are

About ShieldFive

We don’t just encrypt files — we encrypt assumptions. ShieldFive is built by privacy engineers who believe the cloud should serve people, not platforms. We build software that protects your data — even from us.

Our Story

ShieldFive began after yet another "secure" cloud provider admitted to scanning user content. What started as a simple project to protect our own files evolved into a mission to build tools for people who can’t afford to be compromised.

The name started as a joke: “Just dump it and save it safely.” But the name stuck. ShieldFive stands for blunt honesty in a space flooded with euphemisms. It’s not cute, not corporate — but it’s real. Just like our approach to privacy.

“I built ShieldFive to prove that privacy-first tech can still be ethical, independent, and uncompromising. No data sales. No backdoors. No surveillance — ever.”

Privacy by Design

How It Works

Encrypt Locally

Your files are encrypted on your device using zero-knowledge architecture.

Store in EU Servers

Encrypted files are stored securely in GDPR-compliant infrastructure located in the EU.

Share Privately

Generate links with optional expiration, passwords, or self-destruct settings — all encrypted.


Our Mission

We believe privacy is a human right — not a premium feature. ShieldFive exists to give journalists, lawyers, activists, and everyday users the power to store and share data without surveillance, AI scanning, or hidden access.

Our Vision

We imagine a world where trust isn’t asked for — it’s mathematically enforced. Where files can’t be scanned “for your safety,” and platforms can’t read your data even if subpoenaed. That’s the world we’re building.


What We Stand For

Our Core Values

Uncompromising Security

Every feature starts with defense: zero-knowledge, local encryption, and post-quantum readiness.

People Over Profits

No ads. No AI. No data sales. Just human-centered design that keeps you in control.

Built for a Global Fight

With EU-hosted infrastructure and a global mission, we aim to raise the bar for worldwide privacy standards.
