What is Filen?

Filen is an end-to-end encrypted cloud storage service based in Germany, sold on monthly, annual and lifetime plans. It is worth a look if you want private storage and a one-time payment, but we cannot confirm a Black Friday discount.

Our research found reports that Filen has run Black Friday lifetime discounts in the past, but nothing we could verify for 2025. We also could not confirm its current prices, so check filen.io/pricing directly.

Lifetime or annual?

The lifetime option is the main reason people pick Filen. You pay once and avoid renewal increases. The risk is the usual one with lifetime cloud plans: you are betting the company will be around for years. Annual billing costs less up front and lets you leave if the service does not work out.

Filen suits privacy-minded individuals who mainly need backup and sync. It is not the right pick for teams that need shared workspaces and Office integration, or for anyone who wants the brand familiarity of Dropbox or Google.

We will update this page if Filen announces a 2026 Black Friday promotion. Until then, there is no confirmed coupon code.

Frequently asked questions

Is a Filen lifetime plan a good idea?

It can be if you want to avoid renewals and plan to use the service for several years. The trade-off is paying more up front and relying on Filen staying in business.

Where should I check Filen prices?

Go to filen.io/pricing. We could not verify current figures, so the vendor page is the only reliable source.
