The problem
Most of what BucketPilot does happens in storage you already own. Sometimes you do not want to own it: a backup destination that should live outside the account being backed up, a drop target for contributors, an archive for a team with no cloud account at all. Opening an AWS account for that is a week of IAM you will never look at again.
> Measured from the product, September 2026: 240M+ objects indexed, 50 TB under management, across Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud Storage and customers' own servers.
What BucketPilot Cloud is
- •A bucket, created from the console in about a minute, in the region you choose: US East, US West, two in the EU, London, or Singapore. It behaves like every other bucket in your workspace — browse, search, back up to, migrate into, point BucketPilot Drop at, share a drop link to.
- •Billed per GB-month, on your BucketPilot invoice. No download, request or transfer fees. Every file counts as at least 4 KiB; storage is billed for a minimum of 90 days from creation.
- •Versioning keeps every copy of a file when it is on. A deleted bucket stays restorable until its term ends.
- •Your region and nowhere else. Regions are not replicated to each other; a second copy is a backup job you schedule to a second region.
How to start
- 1.Add a card under Billing.
- 2.Buckets & Servers → Create Bucket → BucketPilot Cloud, pick a region and a name. The price per GB-month is shown before you confirm.
- 3.Use it. A backup job can create its destination Cloud bucket from inside the form.
Questions
- Who provides the underlying storage?
- BucketPilot operates it and is responsible for it; it is standard S3-compatible object storage in the region you pick, and your data is never read for any purpose other than the operations you ask for.
- Is it cheaper than S3?
- For anything that is downloaded, restored or served, usually — there are no egress or request fees. The per-GB-month price is shown in the console before you create a bucket.
- Can I move out later?
- Yes. A migration job copies a Cloud bucket to any other bucket you connect, and there is no transfer fee for leaving.
