File Storage

Preserve critical files with guaranteed access — even during attacks, outages, or system failure.

Ar.io provides long-term file storage designed for data that must remain accessible and intact over time. Documents, media, and archives are stored using decentralized infrastructure that eliminates single points of failure and prevents files from being altered, encrypted, or deleted after they are written.

This makes ar.io suitable for safeguarding mission-critical data — including legal records, business documents, research materials, and historical archives — where loss of access is not an option.

Why ar.io for enterprise file storage?

Most enterprise data is not lost because it is destroyed. It becomes unavailable because systems fail, infrastructure is compromised, or access is blocked elsewhere.

Ar.io is designed to ensure that once files are stored, access to them is preserved — regardless of outages, ransomware incidents, vendor changes, or operational disruption.

What ar.io enables

Ransomware-resilient data access
Files stored via ar.io cannot be modified, encrypted, or overwritten after they are written. This ensures that even in the event of a ransomware attack or internal compromise, clean, original versions of data remain accessible.

Guaranteed long-term access
Ar.io separates file access from individual systems, contracts, or providers. This ensures that files remain reachable even if surrounding infrastructure, services, or organizations change over time.

Immutable records for compliance and trust
Once stored, files remain exactly as they were at the time of creation. This immutability supports compliance, audits, legal defensibility, and long-term trust in records that must remain unchanged.

Scalable storage for large and evolving datasets
Ar.io supports efficient ingestion of both small files and large datasets through optimized batching and upload workflows. Teams can scale storage volumes without compromising reliability or access guarantees.

Operational flexibility and integration
Ar.io provides programmatic interfaces and tooling that integrate into existing workflows, automation pipelines, and data management systems — allowing organizations to adopt permanent storage without disrupting operations.

Resilient access without single points of failure
Files are served through a decentralized access layer operated as part of ar.io's infrastructure. This architecture ensures continued availability even if individual systems or access paths are disrupted.

How leading innovators are currently leveraging ar.io:

ArDrive

ArDrive makes storing data on Arweave easy. The latest release of ArDrive has ArNS integration along with a leading suite of tools for perma-building: ArFS, Arweave manifests, and the option of public or private data.

Studio Bazar

Studio Bazar is an atomic asset uploader. Digital content uploaded through Studio Bazar can be traded on the permaweb.

Who this is for

Enterprises protecting mission-critical records
Legal, financial, and compliance-driven organizations
Healthcare, research, and public-sector institutions
Companies seeking ransomware recovery guarantees
Teams responsible for long-term data continuity

Why this matters

Ransomware, outages, and infrastructure failures increasingly target access — not just data itself. Organizations that cannot restore clean, accessible records face operational paralysis, legal exposure, and loss of trust.

Ar.io ensures that critical files remain available when they are needed most.
