SemaBOX Africa has officially launched YEBO, a new encrypted file-sharing tool built specifically for African creators, filmmakers, and businesses.
Built on Mozilla’s open-source foundation, YEBO has been re-engineered to reflect the local realities of African creators, businesses, and digital storytellers.
YEBO allows users to upload and send video, audio, or any other file format instantly via email, WhatsApp, or QR code.
Every transfer is fully encrypted, ensuring that users maintain ownership and privacy of their content.
Files shared on YEBO are never used to train AI models and can be further protected with passwords, download limits, or expiration dates.
“We’re bringing back full ownership and control to African creators,” said the SemaBOX Africa team.
“For too long, we’ve relied on global platforms that don’t prioritize our privacy or our intellectual property. YEBO changes that; it’s secure, simple, and built for us.”
YEBO offers free transfers of up to 2.5GB, with paid tiers coming soon for larger file sizes and professional users.
SemaBOX is also behind WAZO, a podcast platform focused on providing monetization options for African podcasters. A move that aims to build a sustainable digital content ecosystem in Africa.
