Our Manifesto

Our Manifesto

Our manifesto is our vision made manifest — a trusted platform for individuals, families and small organizations that provides a secure and private environment to build and share archival quality history with family, friends, colleagues and the public, at their complete discretion.

Our magic is in how we treat your files. We're building more than just cloud storage, we're creating digital archives. We care deeply about maintaining accessibility to digital materials for all time and the archival integrity of our platform.

We use readily available commercial and open source technology to achieve our ambitious mission and promise to you. In fact, one of the most compelling reasons to trust us is that we're not re-inventing any wheels or making any outlandish new technology bets. We're making the most safe and conservative design choices and doing what makes plain sense.
