Atom Files / About us

Built on Canada's West Coast, for everyone.

Atom Files is a Canadian-made file transfer tool based in Metro Vancouver—between Vancouver and Burnaby, British Columbia. We are building a safer, fairer way for anyone to move large files while keeping Canadian data in Canada.

West Coast roots

We are based in Metro Vancouver, between Vancouver and Burnaby, British Columbia.

Canadian-made, for everyone

We build in Canada for people and creative teams everywhere—not just for one industry or place.

Safe and fair by default

Canadian data residency, private transfer, and fair access are product decisions—not fine print.

How it started

Born from a local creative community.

Atom Files began at a local hackathon organized by Origineer with VCC for the film industry and influencer community.

Filmmakers and creators work with enormous files, short deadlines, and collaborators in many places. We saw how often the tools around them introduced slow uploads, confusing limits, and privacy trade-offs—and started building the tool we wanted them to have.

That practical beginning still shapes the product: fast enough for real creative work, understandable without technical training, and available on fair terms.

Built by Canadians. Made for everyone.

Our goal is simple: make private file movement feel effortless, preserve Canadian data residency, and keep the service safe and fair for the people who rely on it.
