YouTim Service

Share your files,
without scattering them

PDFs, images, audio: all in one place, just for your group. EU-sovereign hosting in France, systematic antivirus, ad-free.

Your group's shared drive — private, clean, sovereign.

No more attachments lost in emails, no more WeTransfer that expires, no more "can you resend me that PDF?" texts. Documents live in your YouTim, accessible to all members, antivirus included.

Frequently asked questions

Is the service free?

Yes, entirely free within the limit of 1 GB of storage per user, with no in-app purchases and no ads.

Which file types are accepted?

Office documents (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF, TXT, CSV, Markdown), images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, HEIC, BMP, TIFF) and audio (MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, AAC, FLAC). Videos, archives (ZIP, 7Z, TAR, GZ…), executables and scripts are rejected.

Is there an antivirus?

Yes. Each document is scanned by the ClamAV antivirus before it can be downloaded. An infected file is blocked, its content is deleted and its uploader is notified.

Where are my files stored?

With Scaleway, a French hosting provider, in its Paris data center, where they are encrypted. Your device uploads them directly to Scaleway through a secure link; our servers encrypt them as soon as they arrive, then decrypt them to send them to you when you open them, through short-lived links.

How much storage do I get?

1 GB per user, across all your YouTims and uploads: documents, gallery and chat photos, voice messages, announcement attachments and budget receipts. Your profile photo doesn't count.

What's the maximum file size?

Documents: 50 MB. Images: 25 MB. Audio: 50 MB. Up to 10 files per upload.

Who can add or delete documents?

By default, all members can add documents; the admin can keep this right for themselves. A document can be renamed or deleted by its uploader or by an admin.

How do I organize documents?

With pages, like tabs (“Invoices”, “Rules”…). Several documents can be selected to download or file them in one go.

Are my documents private?

Yes: only the YouTim's members have access to them, and the files are encrypted on our servers. Every download goes through a secure link, created on demand and valid for 5 minutes.

A private drive, built into the group

Sharing files in a group has stayed in the background of digital life: people juggle Google Drive, WeTransfer, email attachments, WhatsApp screenshots. Every tool has its drawbacks — third-party accounts, expirations, lost originals, leaked metadata. YouTim Documents brings storage directly inside your group: no extra account to create, members are already there, files never leave the group's perimeter.

For families and associations

Administrative documents, contracts, event photos, meeting minutes. Sort them by page (Family, Club, Sport, Travel) and find in two clicks what would have taken ten minutes in your emails.

For events

Wedding, birthday, group trip: all quotes, high-res photos, contracts are in one place. No need to re-download an expired WeTransfer, no file lost in a 300-message chat thread.

Security and sovereignty

Hosted on Scaleway in France — no Cloud Act, no AI trained on your data, no targeted advertising. Systematic antivirus before your files can be downloaded. Signed URLs with short expiration for downloads. Your documents stay truly private.

Combined with other services

Documents fits naturally with your YouTim's other services: linked to the chat to point to a file, to the gallery for compressed photos, to calendar and budget for supporting documents.

GDPR & EU hosting

No advertising, no AI trained on your content, no reselling to third parties. Your documents stay private to the group, hosted in France.

Your files, your group, your turf

Free, ad-free, hosted in France. 30 seconds to start.
