Why SpaceBox

The secure way to store and transfer files.

SpaceBox is a fundamentally different way to store and move files. It decentralises cloud storage to put control back with you, combining client-side post-quantum encryption with off-grid storage, so your data stays yours and no one else's to hand over.

The limits of standard cloud storage.

Cloud providers such as Microsoft and Google are legally required to grant authorities access to the data stored on their platforms. A "backdoor" for law enforcement might sound reasonable, but it carries a real cost.

Once a backdoor exists, it becomes a target.

The security teams that maintain these systems, the employees who work on them, and potentially their contacts, could all become a path to your most sensitive information. You're trusting not just the company, but everyone with access inside it.

If your data is worth taking, it's worth protecting.

Getting at data on public cloud services is complex and resource-intensive. But if your files are valuable enough that an adversary would invest serious resources to obtain them, that complexity isn't a guarantee, it's a delay. That's when you should be using SpaceBox.

Two defences, working together.

Client-side post-quantum encryption

Your data is encrypted on your own device, computer or phone, before it's ever transmitted, using post-quantum ML-KEM-768 with AES-256-GCM. Only your device holds the key, so only someone with your device can read the data. We store ciphertext, and we can't open it.

Off-grid storage

In the full release, the servers that hold your data have no conventional connection to the open internet. Network-based threats like ransomware simply can't reach them, even if an attacker gets into your other accounts. Delivered by the Hardware appliance and the coming space tier.

Encryption is catching up. The model is what's different.

Post-quantum encryption is no longer ours alone. Internxt already ships ML-KEM, and Proton plans to bring it to Drive by late 2026; Tresorit, pCloud and Sync.com are still on classic AES and RSA. So we're ahead of most of the field, not all of it. The difference that matters is structural: every service below is a cloud account you sign into, run by a company that can be legally compelled, in its own jurisdiction, to hand over what it holds. SpaceBox is built to leave as little as possible to compel.

Common questions.

Can i46 read my files?
No. Files are encrypted with your public key and can only be decrypted with your private key, which is generated on your device and never leaves it. i46 simply provides the storage service and has no way to access your data.
What information does i46 store about me?
SpaceBox is designed to be anonymous, i46 does not collect or store client information to run the service. An access key (voucher) is required, and what's recorded depends on how you get it: if you purchase a key online, your details may be processed and stored by the payment processor; if you claim a free voucher at beta.i46.space, your email address is collected to prevent abuse; if you buy through a distributor, check their specific data-collection policy.
Is SpaceBox Lite free?
Yes. You get 1 MB of storage free on install, no card, no email. Claim a free voucher at beta.i46.space for an additional 100 MB and 100 files (email required, subject to availability). Need more? Additional storage can be purchased.
What's the difference between SpaceBox Lite and the Full version?
The full version adds stronger safeguards, most notably N-approvals, where extracting data requires several independent approvals. That keeps your files protected even if an attacker gets hold of your private keys or forces you to unlock your device. The full release also brings per-recipient sharing, ownership transfer, a dead-man's-switch and a 24-word recovery phrase. See SpaceBox Ground.
Where does SpaceBox store its data?
Data uploaded to the SpaceBox Beta is currently stored in Prague, Czech Republic, on infrastructure i46 operates itself. Additional locations, including a space-based deployment, are planned as the platform rolls out from 2027. See SpaceBox Space.
Why is SpaceBox unavailable in the EU?
To pre-empt future legal requirements from authorities, the SpaceBox Beta is not currently available to EU residents. If you're located in the EU, please await the upcoming launch of the full service. See our Terms.
