Most services keep files indefinitely, creating carbon debt, security debt and compliance debt. Unnecessary data survives for years in oversized clouds.
Challenge
Eternal storage has become the default of modern digital. Confusion between active files (in flow) and passive files (archive) fuels this debt: carbon, security, governance, compliance. FileVert rests on the opposite: ephemeral transfer as system design. We don't accumulate, we transmit then erase.
If you don't delete, we keep forever. This default unlimited retention model of major storage platforms creates structural data accumulation in Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, messaging, production clouds and poorly designed business systems.
Continuous electricity consumption, permanent cooling, numerous redundancies. An unnecessary file stored for 3 years can emit 100× more than an ephemeral transfer.
Keeping creates mechanical risk: possible leaks, ransomware, uncontrolled access, unexpected exposure. A file that always exists always ends up leaking.
Keeping too long violates GDPR principles: minimization, duration limitation, right to be forgotten. Most companies are non-compliant.
The more files stored, the harder search becomes, governance complexifies, migrations become costly, productivity drops.
2 to 15 days, then real deletion. No passive archives, no dormant accounts, no growing drives.
