File storage that works with everything.
MinIO is a powerful storage platform that lets you keep your files, photos, videos, and backups in one place. It works with thousands of apps and tools, so you can store and share your data however you want.
What makes Minio worth launching.
MinIO is compatible with the S3 storage standard, meaning most apps and tools can connect to it out of the box — no custom setup needed.
Manage all your files from a clean, browser-based dashboard. Create folders, upload files, share links, and browse everything visually.
Built for speed, MinIO handles large files and high volumes of data without slowing down — perfect for media files, backups, and data-heavy projects.
Generate shareable links with expiration dates and access controls so you can send files to teammates or clients without compromising security.
Never lose a file again. MinIO can keep old versions of your files, so you can roll back to an earlier version whenever you need.
Your files are encrypted both while being uploaded and while stored, keeping your data safe from unauthorized access.
If you fit one of these, Minio is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where Minio makes a real difference.
Set up automatic backups from your phone, laptop, or server to MinIO, so your precious photos and documents are always safe.
Use MinIO as the storage backend for your website or app, hosting images, videos, and downloadable files without relying on third-party services.
Replace scattered email attachments and USB drives with a single, organized space where your whole team can upload and access files.
Many self-hosted apps (like photo galleries, content management systems, and analytics tools) can use MinIO to store their data — just point and go.
MinIO is a storage solution that works just like the big cloud storage services you already know, but it runs on your own private space. You can think of it as a secure, unlimited cabinet where you store anything — photos, documents, videos, backups, you name it. What makes MinIO special is that it speaks the same language as thousands of popular apps and tools, so they can connect to it automatically. Whether you're backing up your phone, storing website images, or keeping project files organized, MinIO handles it all with speed you can feel. It's built for both everyday use and serious workloads, with a clean web interface that makes managing your files simple.
MinIO is the world's most popular open-source storage platform, trusted by Fortune 500 companies and hobbyists alike. It gives you the same type of storage that powers massive cloud services, but without the complexity. Developers love it because it works with virtually any tool they already use. Everyday users love it because the web interface is simple and intuitive. With over 60,000 GitHub stars and 2 billion downloads, MinIO has one of the largest and most active communities in the storage world — meaning it's constantly improving and always reliable.
