The problem
One basement box
Fire, theft, or a dead RAID still takes the only copy if nothing else holds it.
Homes that are far apart
Parents and kids need copies in Places they trust, not zip files over email.
Consumer cloud as the only off-site
Handy until policy, pricing, or account death owns your library.
Installer friction
Operators expect a NAS path comparable to Synology, not a weekend of mesh jargon.
Built for always-on network storage
A fit if you...
Run Synology, Unraid, TrueNAS, or similar always-on storage, and want a home-app install that keeps family files across Places you trust.
Not a fit if you...
Need a full Nextcloud Hub (Talk, Office, contacts) or a Google Photos replacement with faces and search.

Questions families ask
Those keep your stuff mainly on their machines. File Orbit is built so your copies live in homes you trust, with optional extra copies for safety. Not one basket.
No. Only folders or albums you share.
Homes can still sync over the internet. Optional File Orbit safety copies help when home-to-home copying is slow or interrupted.
One person sets up each home once. Everyone else uses familiar ideas: folders, albums, share with family.
