Upload photos and video from your laptop or your phone. Encrypted in your browser before it leaves.
Five sizes, $1 to $5 a month
Your work is not training data
Photographers keep asking the same question of every storage company, so here is our answer in plain terms:
- We never use customer photos to train AI models, ours or anyone else's.
- We do not licence, sell or hand your photos to a third party for model training.
- Every file is encrypted in your browser before it uploads, so what we store is encrypted bytes, not browsable pictures.
- We hold the keys so previews and multi-device access work, and we say so plainly: this is encryption, not zero-knowledge encryption.
Pay for the size you actually have
The mainstream ladders jump from 200 GB straight to 2 TB, so a 500 GB library pays the 2 TB rate. We sell the middle in $1 steps.

Frequently asked questions
Does StorageBites use my uploaded photos to train generative AI?
No. StorageBites holds an ironclad privacy commitment to creators: we never use customer photos to train internal or third-party AI models. Our server-side storage infrastructure is strictly built to deliver fast, secure file transfers and raw backups, completely free from data-mining, algorithmic extraction, or asset scraping.
Who owns the copyright to photos I upload?
You do, completely and at all times. Uploading a file to StorageBites grants us no licence to publish, reproduce, adapt or display your work; we hold it so you can reach it from your own devices and share it with people you choose. Nothing about storing a photo here changes who owns it, and deleting a file removes our copy of it.
Can I export my whole archive if I stop paying?
Yes. Download any file or folder from the gallery at any time, at no extra charge and with no egress fee, and files are decrypted in your browser as they come down. Export before you cancel, because cancelling closes the account and removes the stored copies — the subscription is what keeps them there.
