SafeSFTP.com review
A straightforward SFTP/SCP service with encrypted storage, antivirus scanning and API access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SafeSFTP.com is a cloud-hosted service for businesses that need to transfer and store sensitive files over SFTP or SCP. Its feature set fits teams seeking a focused file-transfer service rather than a broader workflow platform: multiple users can have read/write access, stored files and transfers are encrypted, and uploaded files are automatically scanned for viruses. The vendor positions it for sectors including healthcare, finance, legal and technology, and lists small, mid-market and enterprise businesses as company-size fits.
Storage is the main distinction between the monthly plans. Bronze costs £14.99 for 20 GB; Silver is £32.99 for 50 GB; and Gold is £59.99 for 100 GB. The 500GB plan costs £99.99, 2TB costs £199.99, and 5TB costs £449.99. Each plan includes multiple SFTP users, SFTP and SCP, and API access. The vendor says transfers and concurrent connections are unlimited. Prices are in GBP and exclude VAT. Optional encrypted backups cost extra, so teams that require backups should factor that into their budget. There is no free plan, and the vendor states that it does not provide refunds.
API access supports account integration and reporting, but the vendor says the API does not provide workflow automation. That makes the service a better match for teams that need secure file exchange and storage than for those seeking to automate processes around file delivery. SafeSFTP.com lists GDPR and HIPAA compliance and 24/7 support, useful signals for buyers handling sensitive files. Choose it if its storage tiers and basic transfer features fit your needs; consider alternatives if workflow automation or included backups are central requirements.
