Upload to Silux Media Cloud

Silux Media Cloud is your own media server, run for you. Your library is encrypted with a passphrase only you know.
Upload films, music and photos — Add media to Silux Media: media folders on your own server, or drag-and-drop uploads to Silux Media Cloud.

First time: create your vault

  1. 1Open your Cloud server (Account → Servers → Open your server).
  2. 2Choose a vault passphrase — 12+ characters; a short sentence works well — and type it twice.
  3. 3Save the recovery key it shows somewhere safe. Silux Media can't reset your passphrase.

Upload

  1. 1Click Upload in the top menu.
  2. 2Choose where it goes: Films, TV, Music, Photos or Books.
  3. 3Drag files or whole folders onto the box, click it to choose files, or use Choose a folder (sub-folders are kept). Progress shows for each file; three upload at a time.
  4. 4Big uploads resume if the connection drops — or if you close the browser: choose the same files again and each continues where it stopped.
  5. 5Name TV files like “Show Name S01E02.mkv” and subtitles like “Film (2020).en.srt”.

Storage

The Storage bar shows space used of your plan; extra storage is available as an add-on. Uploads never count against your streaming allowance.

Unlocking

After a restart the library is locked until the owner enters the vault passphrase (Unlock your library). Forgot it? Use your recovery key to set a new one.

Questions

Can Silux Media see my files?

No. Files, names and history are stored encrypted; only ciphertext is kept and the passphrase is never stored.
