ProVide is a secure SFTP, FTPS and managed file transfer server you host yourself, on-premise, or in your own cloud on AWS and Azure.
ProVide Server is secure file transfer software. It gives you your own SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS and WebDAV server for sending, receiving and storing files, running on your own hardware, or in your own cloud on AWS and Microsoft Azure, instead of a third-party service.
Because you host it and hold the encryption keys, your data never leaves your control. That makes ProVide a straightforward way to meet GDPR and data-residency requirements while replacing scattered consumer file-sharing tools with one managed platform for your whole organisation.
A generic SFTP server can shuttle bytes from A to B. Here is what makes teams choose ProVide instead when security, compliance and control actually matter.
All plans are secure by default. Upgrade anytime as your needs evolve.
FTPS & SFTP protocols
Send and receive files with built-in encryption. FTPS and SFTP keep your data protected in transit, so sensitive documents stay private from start to finish.
HTTPS and WebDAV
Access your files straight from a web browser over a secure HTTPS connection. With WebDAV, your server even appears as a regular drive on your computer, no extra software needed.
Encrypted file transfer
Every file you send is protected with high-level encryption, so nothing travels in clear text. Your data stays unreadable to anyone who isn’t meant to see it.
Active Directory integration
Connect ProVide to your existing Active Directory and reuse the accounts you already have, no need to set up users twice, and access is managed right from your familiar AD tools.
Built-In Web Interface
Manage and access your files from any browser through a clean, built-in web interface. No client software to install, just log in and get to work from any device.
Edit files directly at the source
Open, edit, and save files right where they’re stored, no downloading or re-uploading. Just work in your usual programs straight from the browser, and your changes are saved instantly.
Send large files, request uploads from others, and work on documents together. All through secure, encrypted links, with no external cloud services needed.
Add an extra layer of login security with multi-factor authentication (Duo, ESET, Microsoft), and let users sign in through your existing identity provider with single sign-on via OpenID Connect.
Verify access to Share, Receive, and Collaborate links with a 6-digit one-time code sent by email, giving external users secure access without requiring an account or password.
Set up rules that run automatically when files arrive or leave, and connect ProVide to your business systems through its API, so repetitive file tasks happen on their own without manual steps.
Authenticate and set up users straight from the systems you already run like databases, business systems, or other data sources, so logins are verified and accounts configured automatically, with no need to create users by hand.
Verify recipients with national eID such as BankID or FrejaID before they can access Share, Receive, or Collaborate links.
Organize files with color-coded tags that can also enforce visibility, sharing and collaboration rules, keeping access policies attached to the file wherever it moves.
This license works with ProVide Gateway. A reverse proxy that shields your server by letting clients connect through it instead of directly, adding an extra layer of security between the internet and your data.
Maxi is built to run in a high-availability cluster. Connect several servers so traffic is balanced automatically and another server takes over instantly if one goes down, with no interruption. Clustering requires a separate cluster license in addition to your Maxi license.
Unlimited server installations
Roll out ProVide on as many servers as your organization needs, all covered by one company license, with no per-server fees and no counting installations as you grow.
Enterprise Deployment with 40h Support
We help you get up and running with 40 hours of hands-on support. Our specialists work alongside your team to install, integrate, and roll out ProVide across your organization, so it’s running right from day one.
Works with Cluster Unlimited
Add the Cluster Unlimited option to run high availability across as many servers as you need under one license so traffic is balanced automatically and another node takes over instantly if one goes down, with no interruption and no counting nodes.
Optimize with Gateway Unlimited
Add the Gateway Unlimited option to shield every server you run behind one secure reverse proxy so all your ProVide installations stay protected in the DMZ without opening external ports, no matter how many you deploy.

Your invoices, contracts, HR records and source files don’t belong in someone else’s cloud. With ProVide they sit on a server you control, encrypted, logged, and opened only by the people you choose.
Our advanced, secure SFTP server redefines safety and integrates seamlessly into your ecosystem, from ransomware defence to automation and single sign-on.
Built-in ransomware protection and secure file isolation limit the blast radius of compromised accounts, keeping your files safe and under control directly on your own server.
Run event-based scripts on upload or download, trigger virus scans and notifications, and connect ProVide to your ERP, CRM and business systems - no separate MFT middleware.
Customise the HTTPS web interface with your own logo, colours and URL, so your secure file portal looks like part of your brand instead of a generic IT tool.
Share large files, request uploads from external parties without accounts, and collaborate on documents - all through encrypted links on your own server, no consumer cloud.
ProVide is engineered to run light on CPU and memory, making it ideal for virtualised and resource-constrained environments that still need always-on secure file transfer.
Run ProVide on your own server or enviroment, or spin it up on AWS and Microsoft Azure - on both Windows and Linux, without buying dedicated hardware.
ProVide’s browser-based web interface works on Windows, macOS, Linux, tablets and phones, in 16+ languages, with drag-and-drop upload, full-text search, document preview and in-place editing. No client software to install.

Wherever you install it. Most customers run ProVide on their own servers on-premise. You can also run it in your own AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google account, including EU regions, or in a hybrid of the two. ProVide is available in all three marketplaces for both Windows and Linux. In every case the files stay in the environment you chose and they do not pass through a third-party cloud unless you set it up that way.
SFTP over SSH and FTPS over SSL and TLS for encrypted transfers, HTTPS and WebDAV for browser and client access, and plain FTP and TFTP for local traffic where nothing sensitive is being moved. Which one you use is usually decided by what your trading partner expects rather than by your own software, which is why ProVide runs them all on one server. You also choose which encryption, MAC and key exchange algorithms are permitted, so an old algorithm can be switched off across the whole server.
GDPR applies to your organisation rather than to a piece of software, so no product can make you compliant on its own. What ProVide does is remove most of the hard parts. You host the server, so you decide which country the data sits in and you can answer the data-residency question without asking anyone. Access is controlled per user and per folder, every action is logged for the audit trail, shared links can expire, and files are encrypted in transit and at rest. Because the files never reach us, there is no third-party processor in the chain to assess. ProVide is a Swedish company under EU jurisdiction, which is also what makes the supply-chain question under NIS2 and DORA simpler to answer.
Licensing is a yearly subscription with two parts. A server licence covers the installation. A user licence is needed for each account that connects, which includes Active Directory users, virtual users, IoT users and anyone connecting over HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SFTP or the API. Licences are allocated the first time a user connects and are released a month after that user last connected, so ten distinct people connecting within a month need ten user licences. If you hold several licence levels, the system automatically assigns the lowest one the connection needs, so an SFTP user takes a Medi licence even when Maxi licences are free. Share, receive and collaboration links are included with Maxi. The administration interface shows your peak allocation under the information symbol in the top right.
Yes, by sending them a “receive link” available from MAXI they are free to upload files of any size without having any other access to the system or having their own ProVide or AD accounts. The receive link can be guarded by a password and be available only within a specified time span.
Yes, you can cancel at any time, however you pay annually so what happens is that you won’t auto renew next year.
For the ultimate experience of ProVide’s features and functions,
we recommend choosing the MAXI License.
