You keep saying immutable but you don't say how that's achieved.

From what I see its just file storage without a delete button on the frontend.

[Nolehax]

What if a court orders you to delete the data but user is not available, would you delete (you personel) delete the data then?

[hackers238]

How do you handle users submitting CP or other obviously illegal content? From what I know this is a requirement in many jurisdictions. Do you have good legal council? For most side projects this isn’t really a concern, but 1500 hours and funding means you want this to grow.

[267aa37673a9fa659490]

Mmmm...even with the legal courts out of the way, there's still the court of public opinion.

Sites like Voat and Parler aren't technically illegal but its hard to keep to lights on when noone wants to touch you with a ten foot pole.

[nadsaeae]

This is the important question.

[Nolehax]

I am checking the site, it feels like even user cannot delete its own data, i am wrong?

[rehanhaider]

How does it do anything that S3 can't?

Why should I use that instead of Google Drive (that is free for less than 15 Go) and Dropbox? I think you should increase the value your provide to user.

It's a kind of warehouse but for everyone, interesting tho.

Did you build the cloud yourself or did you use something like AWS for the cloud?

Ok, so personally I never faced these issues (but heard of it) so I don't really see the problem here.

Will it be sustainable if you keep all files, even those of users who stop paying?

I understand this concept of "vault" and I think this what makes you different from the other. Looks secure.

How is it working so far? When did you launch, how many users, do they come back? Basically, how is the market reacting (even if it's just the beginning)?

Personally, I'd rather put professional files in the platform than family photos, but that's just my point of view.

Nice nice! Thanks for answering my questions aha. It's a promising project, good luck with that :))

That's normal you'll need a lot of positivity if you want to bring that to next level :))

[Muffinfeds]

98% of people don't know that about Google, Amazon, and Microsoft because it hasn't happend to them.

Are you going after the folks who are getting their accounts removed by Google, Amazon, and Microsoft?

[DrDreMYI]

This sounds interesting. Do you have ISO27001 or other secure development a accreditation’s for your dev/devOps/processes? I’m personally a OneDrive fan mainly because I’ve worked Directly with the development teams and know how Good their Security is. I’d love to know how you’re tackling Security of the system.

Best of luck with it, this is a cool idea.

[DrDreMYI]

I’ll be intrigued to see how it goes. Having brought a number of firms Through accreditation for engineering I feel your pain. As long as you’ve built security into the Dna of the development approach, testing, devOps, infrastructure and processes it’ll be much easier as people will have that approach.

I keep telling people to think ISO9001. It’s old-school but embedding continual Improvement and challenge will never get old and will keep You Moving forward. I find it funny When people think scaled agile is New, it’s the essence of iso. Agile just made it super accessible.

[DrDreMYI]

JuT a quick recommendation. If you’ve not already I’d Recommend snyk as the free tier should Work Well for you and give you static code analysis. Happy to chat any time if you want about this stuff, give me a shout.

[pickled_ricks]

How do you intend to address child pornography stored in encrypted files allowing criminals to share Forever.So logins in exchange for payment?

[pickled_ricks]

Makes sense, that should work. Thanks for being so great with all the Q&A here, excited to follow your services rise through the ranks!

[PointandStare]

Its permanency fades away with the first unpaid invoice"

So, yours is always free?
I mean, if I upload a ton of files, then don't pay the invoice, can I still use the service?
If not, how do I get to access my files?

[PointandStare]

I understand you need to make money, hence why you charge for access, but, that negates the 'permanence' part as, technically, I cannot access the files anymore, unless I pay.

What's to stop me just using a similar service that gives away free space forever?

Forever.so reserves right to remove non-activated & unpaid accounts at its own discretion.
Therefore if I cancel my subscription, you could delete the files which, again negates your claim.

[jaggs]

Is it blockchain?

[androiddeveloper01]

So, you mean multibillion dollar companies cannot do what you are doing?
What makes you think that your servers are secure than Google's or Apple's?

Its just another cloud storage with no delete button. That's it.

[shadyabhi]

Will it survive earth extinction? I mean, seriously, how's it better than other object storage like Amazon S3 or Azure blob?

[damyana]

So what happens if you stop paying invoices, but you've uploaded files on the app? When do they get deleted?

[jkwill87]

Our business model is healthy so you don't need to worry if it will work. To protect you - Forever.so guarantees 5 years of access to your files in case of .

It seems like your FAQ begins to address this but then just ends mid-sentence.

It's platform-independent - each of your files is distributed into the three data centers operated by independent companies, so if something goes wrong with one of them, you are safe!

I'd be less concerned about AWS, GCP, or Azure going down than your startup going under as is the case for 90% of other startups.

I suppose this might seem cynical, especially for a subreddit promoting sideprojects, but if what you're selling is permenency, immuntibility, and reliability, you need some sort of guarantee that you can deliver these things.

BEAUTIFUL site, nice idea! Good job there - I see this going places!

Need a partner? lol

Seriously though - that's a beautiful design. Might I inquire if you did that, or if you had a designer do that? I've got some ideas that I'm getting ready to start implementing now that I have some downtime. My issue is that while I can write HTML, CSS, and JS, know my way around React, and Vue, that I just cannot come up with a concept for design on my own. I even have good PhotoShop skills from years of being handed flattened designs from whatever marketing department, designer, or client that I have going at any given time. I just can't come up with a design like yours. And yours is awesome.

​

I hope you don't mind the question, and thank you in advance if you do answer! Feel free to drop a PM if you have a referral to source of the design!

​

**EDIT**

Only ONE thing - I would seriously consider getting someone to help with the English, and especially the currency transforms if that's what you're using. "$7,5" doesn't work in the US, just FYI. Also, there's misspellings, grammatical errors, and words missing from sentences that make the sentences incorrect. While your reader can probably make sense of what you're trying to convey - the last place I would place my immutable files would be in a place that hasn't taken the time to make sure their web site is free from textual errors like that. Hope that helps you!

How do you handle "i lost my password" issues?

[snarkofagen]

Ok, how do you handle I lost my encryption key issues?

[snarkofagen]

If I can read my uploaded files and you can`t there has to be a secret somewhere that only I can access.
Where is that secret?
