FOREVER vs SyncDrop

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.

SyncDrop transfers files, syncs clipboards and backs up photos across devices and private storage. Its free Windows and Mac companion app supports drag-and-drop transfers and automatic device detection over local Wi-Fi. A browser can also browse, upload and download media on Windows, Mac or Linux. SyncDrop supports SFTP, SMB, WebDAV and S3-compatible storage for backup and media access, and lists Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Photos, S3, MinIO and Cloudflare among its cloud services. Photo and video transfers can be automated based on Wi-Fi, geofencing, charging or new photos. The product supports mobile photo backup, external drive and NAS backup, RAW photos, and a bring-your-own-storage model. The App Store listing says peer-to-peer transfers use TLS 1.3, do not pass through a central server and require no account. SyncDrop has a free plan; Premium costs $1.99 a month, $9.99 a year or $24.99, paid once for lifetime access.
