Safe Cloud — Secure Cloud-Based File Storage

Safe Cloud is a secure file storage platform built with PHP, designed for uploading, managing, and retrieving files using AWS S3.
It incorporates role-based access control (RBAC), private buckets, pre-signed URLs, and server-side encryption to ensure data confidentiality and integrity.

Key Features

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) — Admin, Editor, and User roles with distinct permissions.
• AWS S3 Integration — All file operations use secure, pre-signed URLs; buckets remain private.
• Server-Side Encryption — Data stored in S3 is encrypted using SSE-S3 or SSE-KMS.
• File & Folder Management — Create, rename, delete, and organize files and folders with role-based visibility.
• System Logs — Track uploads, deletions, and authentication events.
• Secure Authentication — Password hashing, session management, and optional JWT integration.
• Backup & Restore Support — Database and file backups (excluded from public repo).
