Store sensitive data in secure storage designed for regulated business environments. My MX Data uses encryption, sharding, and controlled access to protect files.
Maintain compliance and accessibility without relying on public cloud systems that may expose your data to unnecessary risks.
As trusted by leading automotive brands
Google Drive may suit casual use. My MX Data suits regulated, high-sensitivity file exchange where encryption, visibility and control are non-negotiable from start to finish.
It leads in Security & Compliance, File Control, Collaboration and Large File Operations.
Client-Ready Quantum Protection – MX uses its ASR methodology to keep client exchanges private, even against emerging quantum risks. ℹ️ What does this mean?ASR (Anonymise, Shard, Restore) turns files into anonymised shards, transports them across isolated secure routes, and restores them only for verified clients, going beyond standard AES-256 defence.
Auditable Client Access – Every view, comment, and download is time stamped for dependable records during engagements.
Aligned with GDPR, UK DPA & ISO 27001 – Upholds strict permissions and encryption in client communications.
WeTransfer stores files unencrypted at rest, which undermines confidentiality with clients.
Google Drive and Dropbox need policy hardening to satisfy regulated client workflows.
Named User Restrictions – Only authorised individuals with verified accounts can access stored data.
Selectable Data Regions – Store information in a region that aligns with your compliance framework.
Essential Management Tools – Simple uploading, downloading, and logging without advanced DMS functionality.
No Continuous Sync – Transfers are secure and discrete, not perpetually mirrored.
Controlled Sharing From Storage – Release stored documents to colleagues or partners with encryption in place and full-time-stamped logs.
File-Linked Messaging – Keep notes and approvals where they belong, attached to the item in storage rather than buried in email chains.
Branded Access Points – Provide a storage-to-share journey that shows your colours and domain throughout, which feels professional and reassuring to recipients.
Editing Outside MX – Update documents in your native tools first, then distribute securely from MX storage.
Transfer Without Size Restrictions – Unlike Google Drive’s 750GB per day limit or WeTransfer’s 2GB free plan cap, MX supports unrestricted transfer volumes for business use.
Confidential File Collection Points – Branded, encrypted upload portals let you receive documents with maximum privacy. Consumer-level services lack these secure collection features.
No Long-Term Retention – MX is for secure exchanges, not permanent storage like Dropbox or OneDrive.
Storing sensitive data securely means more than locking it away. My MX Data ensures compliance by combining strong end-to-end encryption with auditable access and transfer logs for full accountability.

|
Quantum-Safe Storage Encryption
|
Each file you store is encrypted using ASR plus AES-256. Confidential or regulated data stays protected at every stage. It quietly supports compliance while you carry on with work.
|
|
Named Access Control
|
Files are accessible only to named, authorised users. Every view, download, or removal is logged clearly for accountability and audit trails.
|
|
Built-In Compliance Support
|
Encryption, access governance, and audit trails all support GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC-2, and FCA practices - helping your data storage stay regulation-ready without extra effort.
|
|
Live Activity Logs
|
See who’s accessing which file and when. Every action is logged in real time, offering clear visibility - great when you need to check or investigate access.
|
|
Supports Large Files
|
Store hefty content - research, archives, detailed logs - without worrying about size limits. Makes data retention easier, more flexible.
|
|
Secure Storage Portals
|
Enables encrypted ingestion of sensitive material via dedicated storage entry portals. You control who uploads - and how it’s protected.
|
|
Audit-Ready Access Logs
|
Logs every access event, including user and IP detail. Helps document compliance with internal policies or regulatory reviews.
|
|
Multi-Factor Authentication
|
Adds a second layer of identity verification for access. This extra step helps keep credentials safe and storage secure.
|
|
No Public File Links
|
Disallows open sharing links - files are only accessible through authorised channels. Keeps your stored data under control, not floating in the open.
|
My MX Data uses quantum-level encryption to protect stored files, helping organisations with their compliance needs. Access remains controlled, with no public link sharing allowed.
Exchange-Focused, Not Storage-Centric: Unlike services such as Google Drive or Dropbox, MX does not aim to hold your files long-term. Its model is built around temporary, secure transfer, with storage only existing as part of the delivery process.
Why This Matters: By reducing long-term storage, MX lowers the risk of sensitive data being exposed or left behind unnecessarily. This approach aligns with principles of minimisation in both GDPR and ISO 27001.
See our comparison: Dropbox vs MX.
Yes, Regional Sovereignty Options: MX allows organisations to define shard distribution in specific regions. This ensures sensitive data can be kept within chosen jurisdictions — an essential step for regulated industries or cross-border transfers.
Practical Example: A UK firm can require file shards to remain in EU data centres, helping them meet localisation obligations under GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act.
Learn more about sovereignty in our article on robust security features.
Multi-Layered Encryption: Even during temporary storage, MX protects files using AES-256 encryption combined with its ASR process (Anonymise, Shard, Restore). Files are anonymised, broken into shards, and only reassembled at the recipient’s side.
No Single Point of Exposure: Because data is distributed, no single server ever contains the full file, reducing vulnerability to breaches.
For the technical details, see our blog on quantum-proof encryption.
Yes, Automatic Removal: Once a file has been delivered to the intended recipient, it is removed from MX’s servers. This reduces the compliance risks that come with indefinite storage on traditional cloud platforms.
Why It’s Important: Research shows 60% of files uploaded to cloud services are never shared or accessed again [Varonis]. MX’s exchange-first model ensures your business isn’t accumulating unnecessary exposure.
See how MX’s model supports regulatory alignment in our compliance overview.
Yes, By Avoiding Bloat: MX is not designed to accumulate endless backups. By removing files after delivery, businesses avoid paying for terabytes of rarely accessed data that add little operational value.
Practical Impact: Firms can cut recurring storage fees while still maintaining a compliant, secure way of exchanging files with clients or partners.
Compare MX’s efficiency with alternatives in Dropbox vs MX.
Shorter Exposure Windows: Since files don’t remain stored indefinitely, there are fewer opportunities for attackers to exploit “forgotten” content left on servers.
Quantum-Secure Protection: Even during transfer, files are anonymised, sharded, and encrypted. This prevents full documents from being intercepted in one place.
With the average cost of a breach now exceeding $4.88 million [Cobalt], reducing attack surfaces is a measurable financial safeguard.
Yes, Purpose-Built for Minimisation: MX automatically removes files after their intended exchange, supporting GDPR Article 5(1)(e) and ISO 27001’s requirements for retaining personal data only as long as necessary.
Evidence for Auditors: Immutable logs provide clear proof of when files were uploaded, accessed, and deleted, helping businesses demonstrate their minimisation practices during compliance checks.
Explore more in our dedicated compliance sections: GDPR and ISO.
Clear Boundaries: Staff and clients know files are exchanged securely and do not linger online. This reassurance reduces reliance on shadow IT practices such as consumer cloud drives or personal email.
Stronger Client Trust: Businesses can tell clients exactly how their information is shared and protected, building confidence in the service relationship.
