This week, WeTransfer caused a stir after quietly adding a clause to its terms of service suggesting it might use user-uploaded files to train AI models. The clause would’ve granted a “perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable license” enabling the company to use files—even copyrighted works—for improving machine-learning systems such as content moderation tools . The backlash was swift: creative professionals quickly voiced concern over the potential exploitation of their intellectual property .
Within days, WeTransfer backtracked. They removed the AI-related language and clarified that user content has never been—and will not be—used to train AI models, nor shared with third parties . Still, the damage was done. Once trust is shaken, creative teams begin looking for alternatives.
At Boombox, we understand why. That’s why our collaboration drive was built from the ground up for music makers—producers, engineers, songwriters, and beyond—prioritizing transparency, privacy, and creative ownership.
Boombox’s commitment is simple:
- Your IP is 100% yours. Files you store on Boombox are fully owned by you and never used for any AI training.
- Zero internal access. No one at Boombox can view or leverage your content without your explicit permission.
- Tailored for creators. Boombox offers version control, real-time feedback, intuitive sharing, and split sheet collaboration—all designed for the creative workflow.
While mainstream platforms like Dropbox or WeTransfer may veer toward data-mining to fuel AI ambitions, Boombox stays laser-focused on serving you—the music producer—not your data.
Your creativity shouldn’t be fuel for someone else’s algorithm. With Boombox, you’re in control—always.
