Your files, organized and versioned
Upload, sync, and search across folders with full version history. Enterprise-grade storage that feels as simple as the tools you already know.

Store it. Lock it. Let it earn.
FloppyDisk is file storage with escrow-grade access rules and data you can actually own.
overview
What FloppyDisk Is
Familiar storage and sharing — with conditional access and data you can own.
Secure links with real control
Tokenized share links, role-based access, and expiration rules. Share with confidence — every grant is logged and revocable.
Data that carries economic weight
Gate access behind payment, license datasets, and let supporters stake value on the data they believe in. Usage generates revenue that flows back to owners.
overview
The Data Escrow System
Any file can be locked behind programmable conditions. Access releases only when rules are provably met.
Payment must clear. A counterparty must sign. A time window must open. The file never leaves the vault until every condition is satisfied — enforced by an isolated formal rules engine designed so invalid states cannot occur.
📁confidential.dat
1
Locked
File sealed behind an amber vault. Bytes unreachable until conditions are met.
2
Pending
One or more conditions in progress — payment initiated, signature awaited, or deadline ticking.
3
Released
All conditions verified. Access granted. Full audit trail recorded.

Upload & sync
Drag, drop, and sync across devices. Chunked streaming for files of any size.
Folders & search
Full-text search and indexing across your entire library. Find anything instantly.
Version history
Every write creates an immutable version. Restore any prior state with one click.
Secure share links
Tokenized links with role-based access — owner, editor, viewer, or access-only for escrow-gated items.
Expiration rules
Set time limits on links and grants. Access automatically revokes when the window closes.
Role-based access
Granular permissions at the file, folder, and organization level.
overview
Data as an Asset
Files and datasets that grow in value as the world uses them.
Charge for access
Owners set prices on gated files and datasets. Every access transaction settles through the integrated wallet.
License datasets
Structured licensing terms — flat or metered — attached to datasets. Revenue flows automatically on usage.
Stake on value
Supporters stake value on datasets they believe in. Returns flow through the wallet as usage accrues.
Track over time
Usage metering and revenue tracking give owners a live picture of their data's economic performance.

Enterprise Use Cases
Concrete solutions for teams where data is valuable and access must be conditional.
Legal
Problem: Case files shared under strict access rules with expiration and payment gating.

overview
Security & Trust Architecture
Precise enforcement. No marketing fog.
Formal rules engine
An isolated Haskell service governs escrow and contract state. Invalid access states are unrepresentable by construction.
Encrypted storage
File blobs live in durable object storage. Metadata and access intelligence live in PostgreSQL. The storage layer is dumb; access control is smart.
Role & time controls
Role-based and time-based access grants with automatic expiration. Every decision is logged in an append-only audit store.
Payment verification
Payment conditions are verified through Circle before escrow advances to Released. Funds settle only after access is authorized.
Deterministic replay
Every state change is recorded in an event store. Full causal-chain auditability and deterministic replay of any escrow lifecycle.

Pay-per-access
Gate files behind a price. FloppyDisk takes a platform fee on each settled access transaction.
Dataset licensing
Flat or metered licensing terms. Revenue flows through the wallet with a platform fee on settlements.
Data staking
Stake value on datasets you believe in. Protocol fee on staking activity; returns flow as usage accrues.
