BACK TO SOLUTIONS § 05 · CUSTOM DRIVE

Custom cloud storage, with the upload engineering already solved.

We've shipped a cloud-storage product with 5GB resumable chunked uploads, password-protected shares, revocable links, full audit logging, and S3 / Wasabi compatible backends. If you want a custom Drive — for compliance, sovereignty, or pricing reasons — these are the moving parts.

PROOF OF CAPABILITY
Ragenaizer · Drive

A production-grade drive module already built and running. We ship a custom one for clients who need their own.

§ Capabilities

What goes inside a real drive.

These are the moving parts we've shipped before. Your custom build picks a subset — and we tell you upfront which parts are worth re-implementing and which ones aren't.

/01

Resumable chunked upload

Multipart + chunk-resume so a 5GB file survives a flaky network. Network drops, you resume from the last chunk.

/02

Encrypted at rest

AES-256 server-side; envelope encryption with per-tenant keys. Hardware-backed KMS where available.

/03

Revocable links

Share, set expiry, set download cap, set password. Revoke or rotate after issuing — no need to delete the file.

/04

Audit trail

Who viewed, who downloaded, when, from which IP. Exportable. Required for HIPAA / SOC2 / DPDP audits.

/05

Versioning

Roll back to any prior version. Configurable retention windows.

/06

S3 / Wasabi / MinIO compatible

Bring-your-own object store. No vendor lock-in on the data plane.

/07

Presigned URLs

Direct browser-to-bucket uploads so files never traverse your application server.

/08

Granular ACLs

Per-file, per-folder, per-group. Inheritance with explicit overrides.

§ The hard bits

The problems that don't show up in the demo.

These are the ones that take a custom build from "works in a screenshot" to "works in production for three years." We've already learned them once.

  1. 01 Resumable upload protocol — the client side needs idempotent chunk identifiers, the server needs to garbage-collect orphaned chunks.
  2. 02 Multi-tenant key management — each tenant's data encrypted with their own key, key material never crosses tenant boundaries.
  3. 03 Quota accounting in near-real-time across hundreds of thousands of files per tenant.
  4. 04 Antivirus / DLP on upload without blocking the user — async scanning with quarantine on bad hits.
  5. 05 Cold-storage tiering when files haven't been accessed in 90+ days — without breaking share links.
§ Stack & shape

How we'd put it together.

DEFAULT STACK · SUBSTITUTABLE

ASP.NET Core for the control plane, S3-compatible object storage for the data plane (Wasabi / MinIO / Backblaze B2 are all fine), Postgres for metadata, Redis for presigned URL minting. Optional virus-scan worker.

C# · .NET ASP.NET Core Postgres Docker · Linux gRPC where it earns its keep Multi-tenant by default
§ Build vs. license

We'll tell you when not to build.

Custom isn't always the right call. We've shipped Ragenaizer so we can say that honestly.

BUILD CUSTOM WHEN
  • The drive is the moat — your competitor can't have the same one.
  • You have compliance / sovereignty / data-residency requirements no SaaS will satisfy.
  • You need to integrate at a level deeper than off-the-shelf vendors expose.
  • Per-seat pricing across thousands of users makes the build cheaper inside 24 months.
LICENSE RAGENAIZER INSTEAD WHEN
  • The workflow is generic enough that a configurable platform will do.
  • You want it in weeks, not quarters.
  • You'd rather buy than own — let someone else maintain the drive forever.
  • Your engineering capacity should go to the parts of your product that no SaaS covers.
