YouTim Service

Share your files,
without scattering them

PDFs, images, videos, archives: 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.

  • 📄

    All common file types

    PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, images, videos, audio, archives. No executables — security first.

  • 🛡️

    Systematic antivirus

    Every file is scanned by ClamAV before being visible. Threats are blocked and the uploader notified. Zero risk to other members.

  • 🏷️

    Custom tags

    The admin creates tags (Invoice, Quote, Contract, Photo…). Each doc is categorised. Filter the list in one tap.

    Object storage on Scaleway in Paris, no Cloud Act. Your documents stay in the European Union, encrypted at rest.

    Direct download

    Files never transit through our backend: signed URLs, 5-minute expiration. Fast, scalable, lean on bandwidth.

Quotes and contracts for a wedding

Centralise quotes from caterers, venues, photographers, DJs. Tag by vendor and status (To validate / Validated). Both families see everything at a glance.

Meeting minutes, bylaws, grant applications. Filter by tag (AGM, Board, Finance) and find what the treasurer has been hunting for 30 minutes in two clicks.

🎬

Training or performance videos

Practice clips, end-of-year play replay. Up to 100 MB per video, playable straight from the app.

🏖️

Travel documents

Hotel bookings, flight tickets, road maps, certificates. The whole group accesses the same documents without depending on each other's wifi.

Frequently asked questions

Is the service free?

Yes, fully free up to 1 GB per member, no in-app purchase, no ads.

What file types are accepted?

Office documents (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF, TXT, CSV, Markdown), images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, HEIC, BMP, TIFF, SVG), audio (MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, AAC, FLAC), videos (MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI), unencrypted archives (ZIP, 7Z, TAR, GZ).

Executables and scripts are rejected (.exe, .bat, .sh, .js, .apk, etc.) — that's our first line of defence.

Is there an antivirus?

Yes. Every uploaded file passes through ClamAV before being visible to other members. Signatures are updated daily. An infected file is blocked and deleted; the uploader gets a notification.

Where are my files stored?

On Scaleway Object Storage in Paris, a French hosting provider in the European Union. Encrypted at rest, access only via signed URLs with short expiration. Files never transit through our backend — everything goes directly client ↔ Scaleway.

How much storage do I get?

1 GB per member, shared across all your YouTims. If you're in 3 YouTims, that's 1 GB total across them, not 3 GB.

What's the maximum file size?
  • Documents: 50 MB
  • Images: 25 MB
  • Audio: 50 MB
  • Videos: 100 MB
  • Archives: 100 MB

Hard cap: 100 MB per file.

Who can upload / delete?

By default, all members can upload. The admin can restrict it to themselves. Deletion of a document is allowed for its uploader or the admin.

Are my documents private?

Yes — only members of the YouTim can access them. Download URLs are signed and expire after 5 minutes. Nobody else, not even Scaleway without backend access, can download a document.

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. Tag by category (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 become visible to others. 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, encrypted at rest.

Your files, your group, your turf

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