Sovereign family storage
We charge so we do not mine you
Google and Microsoft subsidize storage with ads and training on your life. File Orbit sells Once and Base so home copies stay yours.
The problem
Google data mining
Photos and Drive subsidize ads and profiling on your family library.
Microsoft training and lock-in
OneDrive and Microsoft 365 keep life behind one account and one vendor roadmap.
Quiet policy change
Terms shift; training on family photos is not a conspiracy story, it is the business model.
Account death
When the only basket is a cloud login, recovery is someone else's decision.
Pay for privacy, not surveillance storage
A fit if you...
Want family photos and files off Google Photos, Drive, OneDrive, or Microsoft 365 clouds without swapping one miner for another.
Not a fit if you...
Want free unlimited cloud GB, or expect File Orbit to match every Photos or Drive feature.

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.
