Vault for personal archivists
For the family photos that should outlive the hard drive.
Family archives have a particular shape. Decades of scanned negatives. Boxes of slides finally digitized. The kids growing up. Letters and documents from grandparents that nobody else has copies of. Most of it sits on a single hard drive that nobody is sure how to back up. Vault is a quiet, predictable place to put that work in a second copy so the story does not depend on one drive surviving.
What this usually looks like
- Scanned negatives at 4000 dpi: 40 to 80 MB each, hundreds per roll, dozens of rolls per box.
- Family photo libraries spanning twenty-plus years: 100 GB to several TB.
- Document scans, audio recordings of older relatives, video transfers from old camcorders.
- Retention horizon: forever, or as close to forever as you can get.
Which plan tends to fit

| Multi-generation digitization project, full negatives | Studio (10 TB) or Archive (20 TB) | $99 or $179 / mo |
Why it suits family work
No algorithm reshuffles your folders. No AI quietly tags faces. No public sharing happens unless you create a share link yourself. Files stay exactly where you put them, named exactly what you named them, for as long as you keep the account.
