Managed cloud storage and file collaboration, hosted in the UK or EU. Your team gets the desktop sync, mobile apps and share links they already expect — without handing your data to a US hyperscaler. We run it, patch it, back it up and watch it. You just work.
Your files live on infrastructure inside the jurisdiction you choose — never silently shipped to a US datacentre.
A modern, ground-up storage engine that stays fast as your team and your file counts grow into the millions.
Open standards and open-source foundations. Export everything, any time. Leaving is always an option you'll never need.
The sync, sharing and collaboration your people already know how to use, delivered as a service we manage end to end and host where you want it.
Drag a file into a folder and it's everywhere in seconds. Send a secure link to a client, set a password and an expiry, and stay in control of who sees what.
Project-centric shared areas with their own membership and permissions. Onboard a team, hand them a Space, and everything they need lives in one tidy place.
Open Word, Excel and PowerPoint files straight from the browser and edit them together in real time. No downloading, emailing versions back and forth, or wondering which copy is current.
A native sync client keeps your files on Windows, Mac and Linux in lockstep, while iOS and Android apps put the same files in everyone's pocket. Familiar tools, no retraining.
Choose UK hosting, independently owned European hosting, or deployment inside your own walls. Your files stay in a jurisdiction you control, with no US-controlled provider in the chain of custody.
Provisioning, TLS certificates, version updates, security patches, monitoring and encrypted off-site backups are all on us. There is no server for your team to babysit.
We agree team size, storage needs, hosting region and any compliance requirements on a short call.
Your private Drive is stood up on UK/EU infrastructure with TLS, Spaces and backups configured.
Staff install the sync client, get invited to their Spaces and pick up exactly where they left off.
Updates, monitoring and backups run quietly in the background. You get a single point of contact.
Consumer cloud drives keep your business's documents on someone else's terms, in someone else's country. Launchpad Drive gives you the same polish with the data control your auditors actually want.
Pick where your files physically live.
Independently owned UK and European hosting with no US-controlled company in your data's chain of custody — removing the main lever of extraterritorial laws like the US CLOUD Act.
A clear data-processing agreement and named sub-processors.
We deploy the full platform, containerised, on your own servers — even Mac hardware in your office. Your files never leave the building, and there is no cloud provider in the chain for anyone to compel: full local control, lower ongoing cost.
Built on open-source software, not a black box.
A UK team that answers, not a ticket queue in another timezone.
One predictable monthly fee per user, billed annually, with a generous storage allowance pooled across your team. No surprise egress charges, no per-feature upsells. Final pricing is confirmed on a short scoping call.
Pricing is confirmed on a short scoping call. Volume, on-premise and multi-product bundles are quoted per engagement.
Built in the open. Launchpad Drive is powered by a modern open-source storage platform licensed under Apache-2.0. Full attribution and licences: Open Source at Launchpad.
It does everything those tools do — sync, sharing, mobile access, collaborative editing — but it's a sovereign managed alternative. Your data lives in your country, on infrastructure we run for you, rather than on a US hyperscaler's terms.
On infrastructure in the region you choose — UK or EU. For the Sovereign plan we use an independently owned European host with no US parent company. That removes the main lever of the US CLOUD Act — there is no US-controlled provider in the chain for US authorities to compel — so any lawful request for your data must come through UK courts or formal intergovernmental channels with judicial safeguards. Or go further: we deploy the full platform, containerised, on your own servers — even Mac hardware in your own office. Your files never leave your building, there is no cloud provider in the chain at all, and no third party can be handed a disclosure order behind your back — any lawful request for your data comes to you, under UK legal process.
No. They get a familiar desktop sync client for Windows, Mac and Linux, native iOS and Android apps, and a clean web interface in the browser. If they've used a cloud drive before, they're already up to speed.
The platform is built to scale into the millions of files, and storage grows with you. We quote capacity to your needs — generous pooled allowances on the standard plans, and bespoke sizing for heavier workloads.
Yes. We can install and harden Launchpad Drive entirely inside your own network or an air-gapped environment, with an optional maintenance retainer so you're never left to patch it alone.
