How does Drivolt compare?
Most people choose between a drawer and a monthly bill. Drivolt is a physical archive vault — not a cloud replacement. We store your original media in climate-controlled vaults with dual redundancy.

How it works
From your files to our vault
Get your data to us
Drag your files into the browser and we take it from there. Resumable, integrity-checked, no extra software to install.
We process everything
Every file is scanned, checksummed, and encrypted at rest. We generate browsable thumbnails and video proxies — your originals stay locked and untouched.
Review your archive
You get a complete file manifest in your dashboard — every file, organized exactly as it was on your drive. Browse thumbnails and proxies, verify everything is accounted for.
Browse & access anytime
Search and browse proxies from your dashboard. Request originals for download at any time. Your archive stays vault-stored and integrity-verified.
