Camera Cloud Storage Without the Lock-In
If you own a Reolink or Axis camera, you already know how limiting their built-in “cloud” services can be — expensive subscriptions, short retention times, and data stored outside the EU.
At ftpGrid, we’ve built something different:
Secure, GDPR-compliant cloud storage with full FTP and SFTP access, optimized for camera uploads.
No vendor lock-in.
No hidden costs.
Just open standards that work with everything.
Oh and we don't do mining, tracking, or selling of your data!
Optimized for Reolink and Axis Cameras
Most cameras already support FTP upload — all you need is a reliable, always-on endpoint.
ftpGrid provides exactly that:
FTP, FTPS, SFTP, and SCP endpoints hosted in Germany
Automatic SSL/TLS via Let’s Encrypt
Encryption at rest and in transit
24/7 uptime with instant scaling
Free tier (256 MB) to get started in minutes
It works out of the box with:
Why It Matters
When AWS went down yesterday, countless “smart” camera services stopped working — leaving users with no access to their own footage.
ftpGrid isn’t built on Big Tech clouds.
Your data stays inside the EU, encrypted and private, running on co-located servers in Germany (Hetzner).
This isn’t just storage — it’s data independence.

Nice, too bad I threw out all the old Axis cameras I've built integrations with in the past :D. One comment, the idea is reasonably hobbyist-friendly, but the site I get to when clicking the link feels very "backend developer". Could be an idea to create a landing page for this exact use case.
