A Comprehensive Digital Preservation Platform


share archive

Share without oversharing.

Our permission controls provide different levels of access for the people you share with, designated by you. All uploaded files are private by default. Share selected files with only the people of your choosing. Make selected files public without risking your copyright. Easily create links to privately shared content with options to restrict how many people can access the content and for how long. Delete it all, completely, at any time.
archive management

Infinite archives, one account.

Multiple archive management allows you to easily switch between archives and collaborate with others. Create, collaborate and then transfer ownership of an archive for a family member, friend or client from a single account. Every archive has a single owner and ownership can be transferred as needed. Archives can have multiple members with unique roles you can control to manage access and permissions.

legacy archive

Digital archives not backups

Our mission is to preserve and provide perpetual access to the digital legacy of all people for the historical and educational benefit of future generations. We maintain multi-layer, multi-region, multi-provider backups with trusted storage partners. With Permanent.org, you can store all file types and rest assured that we will preserve all embedded file metadata and never destroy or degrade your originals.

Tell the story of your files.

We’re committed to giving you all the tools you need to create detailed archives for you or your clients, allowing you to tell a unique story on a case-by-case basis. 


Retain control of your work during your lifetime and beyond.


Permanent is the most comprehensive digital preservation platform available, period.

We know you've heard a lot of promises that turned out to be gimmicks. Archival cloud storage with strings attached. People who think they know how to do your job better than you. That's not us.

We understand that your work is your passion and we take it as seriously as you do. We want to make sure you're able to pass that work on to your colleagues, your clients, or your loved ones when you are gone.

We’re a mission-driven, cultural heritage organization dedicated to serving the public good.

The Digital Storage Platform You’ve Been Waiting For

No subscriptions. Just $10 per GB.

Monthly subscriptions expire. On Permanent.org, storage fees are only charged once - $10 per gigabyte of storage, as you need it. We invest your contributions into a nonprofit endowment that covers the perpetual cost of storage and supports a nonprofit organization committed to protecting, migrating and maintaining access to your precious digital content.

Your files are insured for the future.Half the fun of preserving your things is doing it together. Add your family members, friends or teammates as Members of your Permanent Archives so that they can build it with you. You choose a Member’s access level and you can add and change permissions or transfer ownership at any time.
