Your Top Questions Answered
01. Is MX a good storage solution for small businesses?
Yes – My MX Data is purpose-built to give small businesses access to enterprise-grade secure storage without the complexity or cost of traditional systems. It’s an ideal solution for teams that need to store and transfer sensitive documents with full encryption, access control, and auditability.
While mainstream cloud platforms often rely on shared folders and public links, MX provides a zero-trust framework where every file is encrypted, access is named-user only, and each action is logged. This approach helps small businesses remain compliant with data protection laws while reducing the risk of data exposure or misuse.
Why MX fits the needs of small businesses:
- ASR + AES-256 Encryption: Your data is anonymized, sharded, and only restored for approved users.
- No Public File Links: Prevent accidental leaks with strict named-user sharing policies.
- Region-Based Hosting: Choose U.S.-based data centers to align with compliance requirements.
- Branded Upload & Storage Pages: Deliver a professional experience to clients and partners with white-labeled portals.
- Audit Logs & Notifications: Know who accessed what, when – and receive real-time alerts for file activity.
According to StrongDM, nearly half of all cyberattacks target small businesses – making secure storage more than a luxury. MX ensures you get compliance-ready protection without enterprise overhead.

02. How long are stored files retained on MX servers?
My MX Data is designed around short-term, secure file exchange – not long-term cloud storage or archival. Files are retained on MX servers for as long as needed to complete the transfer, collaboration, or compliance-related handoff. After that, you can configure automated expiration policies to delete files from the platform, reducing storage risk and maintaining compliance with regulations like CCPA and ISO 27001.
For small businesses, this flexible model offers both security and simplicity – allowing teams to focus on active projects without the clutter of outdated or unmanaged data.
Key file retention features include:
- Custom Expiry Rules: Choose how long files remain available (e.g., 7, 30, or 90 days) before automated deletion.
- User-Controlled Deletion: Remove files manually once they’re no longer needed.
- Temporary Vaults: Secure files during collaboration, then purge them on project completion.
- Audit-Friendly Logging: Retention and deletion actions are fully recorded for compliance visibility.
- No Auto-Backup to Public Clouds: MX does not replicate data into third-party storage services without permission.
Small businesses that need temporary yet encrypted storage – without investing in complex infrastructure – will find MX a strong fit for managing file flows securely and efficiently.

03. Does MX allow for data retention policies and expiration settings?
Absolutely. My MX Data is designed to help small businesses stay in control of their data lifecycle with customizable retention policies and automatic expiration settings. Whether you’re managing internal documentation or sensitive client files, MX empowers you to set exactly how long files remain accessible and when they should be deleted or archived.
Retention and expiration capabilities include:
- File-level expiration timers: Set specific dates or durations for files to self-expire after upload or sharing.
- Policy-based data removal: Define global or department-specific retention rules that align with your compliance needs.
- Automated deletion logs: Every file expiration is logged to maintain accountability and transparency.
- Secure disposal: Expired files are wiped from all storage nodes with no recoverable residue.
This helps small businesses simplify their compliance with regulations like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and ISO data handling standards. And if you’re ever unsure, our dashboard allows you to review upcoming expirations and adjust settings in real time.
