How hard is it to cancel Filen (filen.io)?
Filen (filen.io) scores 61/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the DE — a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve).
Billing recurs without seeking prior approval for each charge until you notify Filen of cancellation. The Terms include a dedicated Cancellation section: you can cancel your subscription at any time using the web interface or by contacting the payment processor used, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid term. Refunds are not generally addressed beyond app-store purchases, where the App Distributor may refund per its own policy. Filen is operated from Germany.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
