Is MyAirBridge safe to use?

Is the service legitimate?

Yes. MyAirBridge is a commercial service that has been running since 2012 and is used by large organisations including Netflix, Spotify, Warner Bros., Disney, Amazon, Samsung, BBC, Booking.com, Cisco, and Adidas, as well as by dozens of international film festivals that use it to receive submissions.

It is not a temporary or anonymous file drop. It operates paid subscription plans, publishes its terms of use, and provides customer support.

How transfers are protected

Encrypted connection

All data moving between your device and the service travels over an encrypted connection. MyAirBridge holds an A+ rating from SSL Labs, the highest grade that this independent authority issues for transmission security.

End-to-end encryption

On Pro and Enterprise plans, files can additionally be encrypted end to end, which means that nobody except the sender and the recipient can read their contents.

Password protection

From the Pro plan upwards, a transfer or a share can be protected with a password. Without the password the data cannot be downloaded, even by someone who has the link.

Expiration control

From the Basic plan upwards, you decide how long a transfer stays available, from a short window to no expiration at all. Free transfers expire automatically after three days.

Two-factor authentication

Accounts can be secured with two-factor authentication, so a leaked password alone is not enough to sign in.

Where the data is stored

Data is stored in a data centre in Prague, Czech Republic. It therefore remains within the European Union and under the GDPR framework, which matters for organisations that have to declare where their data physically resides.

On the Enterprise plan, storage is geo-redundant, meaning the data is kept in more than one physical location to protect against hardware failure.

Who can access your files

Access is based on the download link. Anyone holding the link can download the data, which is what makes sharing simple, and it is also the reason the additional controls exist.

• add a password so that the link alone is not enough
• set a short expiration for sensitive material
• use end-to-end encryption when the content must stay unreadable to anyone else
• send to specific email addresses instead of distributing a public link

These options are the practical difference between a link that is convenient and a link that is also safe to circulate.

Practical recommendations

1. Use a password for anything confidential.
2. Set an expiration date that matches how long the recipient really needs.
3. Enable end-to-end encryption for sensitive material on Pro or Enterprise.
4. Turn on two-factor authentication for your account.
5. Share links directly with named recipients rather than posting them publicly.

FAQ

Is MyAirBridge a scam?

No. It is a commercial file transfer and storage service operating since 2012, used by large media, retail, and sports organisations, with paid plans, published terms, and customer support.

Is the connection encrypted?

Yes. Transfers use an encrypted connection that holds an A+ rating from SSL Labs. On Pro and Enterprise plans, files can also be encrypted end to end.

Can anyone with the link download my files?

Yes, unless you protect the transfer with a password, limit its expiration, or use end-to-end encryption. These controls are available on paid plans.

Is the data stored inside the European Union?

Yes. Data is stored in a data centre in Prague, Czech Republic, which keeps it within the EU and under GDPR.

Summary

MyAirBridge is a legitimate service with encrypted transmission rated A+ by SSL Labs, data stored in the EU, and optional password protection, custom expiration, end-to-end encryption, and two-factor authentication. As with any link-based sharing service, the safety of a specific transfer depends on whether those controls are used.
