This is also an EXTREMELY important matter on a personal level.

Did you know that almost all cloud storage is in the USA? That means YOUR personal items...although are 'yours' for now, can easily be lost and not regained. Think of your google drive, your Onedrive, wherever else you have that is being backed up on the cloud! If you are not based in the USA getting these after your death is almost impossible if noone has your passwords. A court order is needed from the state of California.

Your digital archive can help you come up with solutions for keeping your photos, documents, videos and other digital assets SAFER and yours into the future. We help you choose what you want to keep, what is important to you, and how to store it.
