At Filestage, we get that where your data lives matters just as much as how it’s protected. That’s why our data residency feature lets you pick the region where certain types of data at rest are stored.
Picking a specific data region gives you clear advantages around control, residency, and meeting local rules.
Enhanced sovereignty: More clarity and control over the legal jurisdiction that applies to your data at rest.
Regulatory and policy alignment: An easier way of meeting local regulatory and internal policy data storage requirements.
Reduced latency: Hosting data closer to you usually means faster loading times.
Filestage works with Amazon Web Services (AWS) so your data can stay in-region with solid availability, reliability, and performance.
Have a look at the table below to see where data residency is available.
Region | Location | Primary regulatory frameworks |
European Union | Multi-AZ (EU) | GDPR, EU Data Act |
Germany | Frankfurt (eu-central-1) | BDSG, GDPR |
Data residency's part of our Business (as an add-on) and Enterprise (as standard) plans — admins can easily turn it on for their team.
New customers can select their preferred region during initial team setup, while eligible existing customers can do so in their team’s privacy and security settings, as seen below:
Team data, like projects, files, and comments, will be stored at rest in a data center in the region you pick. User data, like email addresses and avatars, will be stored across multiple regions since users may interact with teams in different locations.
Note: Data residency just changes where data at rest is stored in AWS. Filestage will still store and process all data types according to our Data Processing Agreement.
Regardless of the region you choose, our core privacy and security measures, including TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest, remain active across all jurisdictions.
Let us know if you have any questions by reaching out to us on chat or emailing us at support@filestage.io We're always happy to help!
