Set up Private Storage for your workspac

Last updated: May 12, 2026

Private Storage allows you to store meeting data in your own storage bucket — giving you full control over where your information lives. This guide shows how to configure Private Storage and what to expect once it’s enabled.

🔒 What is Private Storage?

Private Storage lets Fireflies store your meeting transcripts, audio, and summaries in a storage bucket that you own and manage. It’s perfect for teams with strict compliance or data governance needs.

  • Store data in a location you choose

  • Meet internal or external compliance requirements

  • Maintain exclusive access to your data

  • Available to customers on the Enterprise plan

Data is processed on Fireflies’ servers in the U.S. but stored in your designated bucket location

Once configured, the toggle will appear so you can turn Private Storage on or off as needed. When enabled, all new meeting data is stored privately on Google Cloud in US West Los Angeles.

🧠 Making sense of it all

  • Private Storage is available to Enterprise customers and can be set up through Team Settings

  • BYOS is also Enterprise-only but requires working with our Customer Operations or Customer Success teams

  • You'll choose your storage location during the initial setup — if you ever need to update it later, our support team will be happy to help you make that change

  • All new meetings will be stored in your bucket once enabled (for both Private Storage and BYOS)

  • Private Storage can be toggled on or off at any time from Team Settings

  • BYOS provides more customization but requires team coordination for any changes
