Galyxy Terms of Service

Last Updated: May 13, 2026

Welcome to Galyxy. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Galyxy ("we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the Galyxy website, web applications, APIs, services, and all related functionality (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, accessing, or using any part of the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

1. About Galyxy

Galyxy is a cloud storage synchronization and file management platform that enables users to:

  • Connect and authenticate with supported third-party cloud storage providers (such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, Mega, and others);
  • Synchronize files between local storage environments and connected cloud storage accounts;
  • Transfer, manage, organize, and access files across multiple storage locations through a unified interface;
  • Utilize additional features such as file browsing, uploading, downloading, and cross-provider transfers.

Galyxy acts as an intermediary service that facilitates interaction with your connected storage providers. We do not claim ownership of your files, cloud storage accounts, or any user-generated content processed through the Service.

2. Eligibility and Account Requirements

To use the Service, you must meet the following requirements:

  • You must be at least 13 years of age, or the minimum age required by applicable law in your jurisdiction;
  • If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent and warrant that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf;
  • You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract;
  • You are not prohibited from using the Service under any applicable laws or regulations;
  • All information you provide during account registration and use of the Service is accurate, current, and complete.

Galyxy reserves the right to refuse service, suspend accounts, or terminate access to anyone at our sole discretion, particularly in cases of suspected fraud, abuse, or violation of these Terms.

3. User Accounts and Security

To access certain features of the Service, you may be required to create an account using one of our supported authentication methods (such as Google OAuth or GitHub OAuth).

You agree to:

  • Maintain the confidentiality and security of your account credentials and authentication tokens;
  • Accept full responsibility for all activities that occur under your account, whether authorized by you or not;

  • Not create multiple accounts for the purpose of circumventing restrictions or limitations.

Galyxy is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain account security or from unauthorized use of your account.

4. Connected Cloud Storage Providers

The Service allows you to connect accounts from third-party cloud storage providers. When you connect a provider:

  • You authorize Galyxy to access your files, file metadata, folder structures, and other necessary information from the connected provider solely for the purpose of providing the Service;
  • You acknowledge that your use of each third-party provider remains subject to that provider's own terms of service, privacy policies, and acceptable use policies;
  • You understand that Galyxy has no control over third-party provider services, outages, rate limits, API changes, policy modifications, or account suspensions;
  • You grant Galyxy permission to make API requests on your behalf to perform synchronization, file transfer, and management operations;
  • You may revoke Galyxy's access to any connected provider at any time through the Service's connection management interface or directly through the provider's security settings.

Galyxy is not responsible for any issues, data loss, service interruptions, or limitations imposed by third-party providers. We recommend maintaining independent backups of all important files.

5. User Content, Files, and Ownership

You retain full ownership of all files, documents, media, and other content ("User Content") that you upload, transfer, synchronize, or otherwise process through the Service.

  • Display User Content within your account interface;
  • Generate file previews, thumbnails, and metadata;
  • Perform technical operations such as format conversion or compression when required for functionality.

This license exists solely to enable the Service to function and terminates when you delete files from the Service or close your account, except for cached data that may persist temporarily for technical reasons.

You represent and warrant that:

  • You own or have the necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to all User Content you upload or process through the Service;
  • Your User Content does not infringe upon any third party's intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other legal rights;
