Team chat that keeps project files, decisions and history together
Short answer: BusyVault is team chat for project work: channels, subchannels, files and checklists. Messages and files in a conversation are encrypted with Aegis-128L before storage. The hosted service decrypts them to run chat, search, previews and notifications. It runs in the browser, installs as a desktop app, and is on Android in Google Play. The iPhone and iPad app is coming soon. Basic is 9 USD per paid account a month.

One project, then the rest
Apply “Team chat, files and organized work” to one workspace you already have. Create the channel, invite the people on that job, and upload one file you would review this week. Leave the rest of the company where it is until a person who missed the day can find the file and the next owner. That pilot is the proof. A diagram of every team is not.
Files, history and the next owner
On Team chat, files and organized work, keep the file next to the sentence that approved it. Slack documents a 1 GB cap on one upload and, on the Free plan, 90 days of visible history. Those two limits are the public facts this site already cites.
BusyVault bills storage per paid account: 25 GiB on Basic and 100 GiB on Pro. Extra storage is 0.03 USD per GiB a month after you confirm the charge. Basic is 9 USD a month or 86 USD a year. Pro is 30 USD a month or 288 USD a year. One subscription does not cover the team.
The trial is 3 days and 10 GiB. Use it to upload a real file and to search for a decision, not to announce a company-wide move. If the file does not fit or the old decision cannot be found, say so in the channel before you promise the room is the archive.
Where the app runs
BusyVault runs in the browser and can be installed from Chrome or Edge on Windows, macOS and Linux. The Android app is on Google Play and uses the same account. The iPhone and iPad app is coming soon. Enterprise customers can run BusyVault on their own servers under a separate contract. There is no public installer on this site for that path. This page does not claim SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA.
A check you can finish this week
For Team chat, files and organized work, finish four lines and stop. Line one is the project name. Line two is the channel name. Line three is where the current file lives. Line four is the next owner. Add one rule for meetings: what must be decided live, and what must be written down the same day.
Ask someone who was not on the call to find the file without help. If they open the right channel first, the structure works. If they search three threads and still ask which version is current, move the file to the channel and leave a pointer. Owners and administrators can export a BusyVault backup from workspace or channel settings. After a restore, check the text, the file references and who can open them. Keep the original files until that check passes. Product questions go to the address on the support page.
Start with one live project
The first day is not a company-wide switch. Open the web app, give one job its own channel, and add the subchannels that job already uses. Put one real file next to the talk and write the next owner on the checklist. Basic is 9 USD a month with 25 GiB. Pro is 30 USD with 100 GiB. The trial is 3 days and 10 GiB. iPhone and iPad app is coming soon.
A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before you bring your team.
How does the trial work?
Your free account lasts 3 days and has 10 GiB. Use it on a real job. Then pick Basic or Pro.
Does one plan cover the team?
No. Basic and Pro are for one paid account each. Count every person who needs one.
What if I need more space?
Basic has 25 GiB. Pro has 100 GiB. Extra space is $0.03 per GiB a month. Check the price before you upload more.
Can I move Slack on its own?
No. Do not expect a full import. Start with one job. Check the files and who can open them. Then move the rest of the team.
