Unlike many storage providers, Golden Frog owns and operates the hard drives and servers and manages the network, so we can deliver the best security and performance to our customers. Simply put, we don’t rely on third parties to store your data. When you upload to Dump Truck, Golden Frog is the only company who handles your information so your privacy and security is ensured.
The photo below is a rack of servers from Dump Truck’s online storage cluster in the brand-new behemoth 130,000 SF Data Foundry data center called Texas 1 in Austin, Texas USA.
This rack of storage servers is roughly 500 Terabytes of storage space (or a half of Petabyte). We deployed multiple cabinets just like this one to provide plenty of storage space for Dump Truck online storage.
Only Giganews members are currently able to access Dump Truck online storage, but look for a retail release of Dump Truck for Golden Frog customers in the coming months.

Golden Frog, the global software developer focused on secure, private Internet services, today announced early access for their new cloud-based storage service – Dump Truck, a professional-grade, massive online storage service. Dump Truck is a personal online storage service that allows you to store photos, documents, data and files online using a simple drag and drop interface. Users will be able to securely access their files from anywhere in the world.
Dump Truck is designed to provide the highest level of security and privacy for transferring and storing personal files. All files are transferred using 256-bit SSL encryption – the same encryption used by financial institutions. Every file is stored on-disk using 256-bit AES encryption. Unlike many online storage providers who rely on 3rd parties for their storage infrastructure, Golden Frog owns and operates its own storage servers and network hardware. Golden Frog is the only company who handles Dump Truck user data so privacy and security is ensured.
“We have a different model for mass storage based on our priority to ensure user privacy and security,” says Sunday Yokubaitis, President of Golden Frog. “Unlike many online storage providers who inspect and process each user’s uploads to minimize duplicate data across their systems, we don’t use data de-duplication. Combined with the investments we’ve made in system hardware we are able to provide the most private and secure mass consumer storage in the industry.”
Golden Frog partnered with Giganews, the worldwide leader in Usenet services, to bring Dump Truck early access to Giganews members. Dump Truck early access invitations are being emailed to a limited number of Giganews Diamond members. Registration is still open on the Giganews website and additional invitations will be sent to Giganews Diamond members in the coming weeks.
