About FOREVER
FOREVER is a hosted service for keeping a family archive of photos, videos and home movies over the long term. Instead of a monthly subscription, it sells Permanent Cloud Storage: you pay once and the company guarantees your stored memories will be preserved for generations. It says files are triple backed up, with no ads and no data mining.
Alongside storage it offers digitization of home movies and prints, plus tools for designing printed keepsakes, gifts and family stories. It suits people who care more about long-term preservation than about free storage tiers.
Strengths

- No ads or data mining, according to the company
- Digitization and print services in the same place
Limitations
- Permanence depends on the company keeping its guarantee
- Pricing is not shown on the homepage
