The idea

You don't need everything at arm's reach. Just everything within reach.

Most of your bill keeps files you'll never open again on premium storage. Keep what you reach for hot, and archive the rest to cold storage that costs a fraction.

Yours, anywhere

Private by design

Encrypted on your phone before it uploads, so only your devices can open your files. Never sold. Delete your account whenever you like.

How it works

Three steps, then forget about storage.

  1. 01

    Your stuff, stored forever.

    Upload once: photos, videos, docs. No more "storage full," at a price that won't hurt.

  2. 02

    Active today, archived for life.

    Keep what you use at your fingertips; archive the rest in a tap. Still there as previews.

  3. 03

    Dig it up, anytime.

    Spend coins to pull any archive back. Files don't expire, and neither does your access.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

What is cold storage, exactly?

Deep-archive storage for files you keep but rarely open. It costs a fraction to hold, which is the 75–85% saving. You still see previews of everything, and can pull back any original whenever you want.

Will I ever lose access to my files?

Never. Your files don't expire. Browse them as previews anytime, and pull back the original whenever you want. Once retrieved, it's yours on-device for good.

Is my data private?

Yes. Every file is encrypted on your phone before it uploads, and we store only the locked copy, which we cannot open. We can see file names, sizes, folder names and dates, which we need to run your account. Never sold, never used to train anything. Delete your account and data any time.

What are coins?

Coins pull files out of cold storage. Paid plans include a monthly bonus to cover it. Browsing previews and active storage are always free.

How is this cheaper than Google One or iCloud?

They keep every file on premium, instant storage, so you pay for that speed even on files you never open. PennyDrive keeps what you use hot and archives the rest to cheaper cold storage. You pocket the difference.
