In their own words
FOREVER
FOREVER provides cloud storage to preserve, organize, and share family photos, videos, and other memories. The company describes its service as combining digitization, storage, organization, and printing, and says stored memories are guaranteed to remain available for the owner's lifetime plus 100 years. Its mobile apps support automatic photo backup, albums, tags, people, search, and sharing with friends and family. Users can stream videos, trim clips, merge moments, and create title covers. The Valet desktop uploader handles batch uploads, preserves existing folder organization, and supports background processing with retries. FOREVER says files are backed up across multiple locations and regions and uploads use SSL-encrypted transmission. It also says it does not sell users' personal information or advertise against their content. A free 2GB option is described; the listed 10GB storage plan costs $179.99 as a one-time purchase, with 24 monthly installments also offered. Supported files must be under 4GB; the storage FAQ directs users to support for larger files. Apps and services are listed for Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows.
