Private by default
Private storage, verified accounts and workspace boundaries help you control access to your business files. Here is exactly how it works, and what it does not do.

Verified accounts, fewer surprises
Email addresses are confirmed before anyone can upload or join a workspace, and sign-in is protected with hashed passwords and attempt limits.

The problem
Why it matters
If anyone can claim any address, invitations and ownership mean very little. Verifying email ties each Orbis Drive account to a real mailbox, which also gives every person a safe way to recover their password.
How it works
Step by step
- 1
Register with at least 12 characters
Longer passwords are harder to guess, so that is our minimum.
- 2
Confirm your email
A link valid for 24 hours activates uploads and invitation acceptance.
- 3
Sign in safely
Repeated failed attempts are limited to slow down password guessing.
- 4
Reset if needed
A one-hour reset link sets a new password and signs out your other sessions.
What's covered
Everything verified accounts includes
- Mandatory email verification for uploads
