With over 4 million active users and 18 years of engineering behind it, Files.fm is taking its EU-based, AI-powered cloud storage platform global — offering professionals a privacy-first alternative to Dropbox and Google Drive.

 

CUPERTINO, Calif. – March 6, 2026 – PRLog — Files.fm did not go global the usual way. No venture capital blitz, no PR agency — just 18 years of quietly building something people actually wanted to use. Now the EU-based cloud storage platform is making it official: Files.fm is expanding internationally, bringing AI-powered file management and European privacy standards to professionals and businesses worldwide.

4 Million Users and Growing

Born in 2008 as Faliem.lv, Files.fm grew into one of the Baltic region’s most trusted cloud storage platforms. Today it serves over 4 million active users — and the rebranding to Files.fm signals one thing clearly: the company is ready to compete on a world stage.

“We’ve spent nearly two decades refining our platform based on real user needs,” said Jānis Viklis, CEO of Files.fm. “Now we’re bringing that experience to a global audience that deserves a privacy-first alternative to the Silicon Valley giants.”

AI That Actually Does the Work

Files.fm goes well beyond storage. Its AI toolkit includes face recognition across photo collections, OCR that makes scanned documents fully searchable, auto-tagging, document chat (query your files in plain language), and AI Workflows for automating repetitive tasks — features competitors have been slow to match.

One professional photographer on Trustpilot put it simply: “All my clients are incredibly happy with the new AI face search. It’s a real game-changer.”

Privacy Built In, Not Bolted On

All data is stored in EU data centers, fully GDPR-compliant. Password-protected links, two-factor authentication, antivirus scanning, and end-to-end encryption come standard — not locked behind expensive enterprise tiers. For businesses handling sensitive data, that’s not a footnote. It’s the whole point.

Professional Power, Honest Pricing

PRO plans start at €7.90/month for 2TB, including AI tools, media streaming, file recovery, and no ads. Storage scales up to 100TB. The platform also supports digital content sales, WebDAV/FTP, REST API, and desktop sync for Windows and macOS.

With data privacy regulations tightening globally and AI now a baseline expectation, Files.fm is betting that professionals worldwide are ready for a cloud platform built on 18 years of depth — not marketing spend.
