About Filebase
Filebase is a commercial object storage service that exposes an S3-compatible API while storing data on decentralized networks. Developers can keep using familiar S3 tools and libraries, and the vendor advertises faster uploads and downloads, free egress and a verifiable fingerprint for every object.
The dashboard separates buckets by type, including S3 and IPFS buckets, and offers IPFS gateways, names and access keys. IPFS buckets give each object a content identifier that can be copied and shared. A newer feature called Filebase Sites hosts IPFS-based websites using IPNS names, and plugins help connect storage to other tools.
Filebase is a hosted service with a free way to start and a pricing page that emphasizes predictable pricing. It suits developers who want S3 compatibility together with decentralized storage or IPFS hosting.
