Let AI help me get startedYour AI guide will ask what you want to do and show you one step at a time.
HOW IT WORKS
A clear path from saving files to getting them back.
Protect your important files with clear guidance at each step. Use the controls yourself, or ask the AI guide to explain your choices.
Back up your files securely
ArchiveFort saves an encrypted backup of your selected files in ArchiveFort storage, so you can recover them later. Your originals stay on your computer.
Check your backup status
See when your last backup finished and whether any files need attention.
Recover your files
Get a file or folder back when you need it. ArchiveFort guides you through recovering a saved copy into a new folder, keeping your existing files unchanged.
AFTER YOUR FIRST BACKUP
What happens when I add or change a file?
Choose your folders once. Keep using them as usual.
With automatic backups enabled, ArchiveFort checks your selected folders for new and changed files and includes them in the next backup. You do not need to add each file yourself.
A new photo in Pictures?
If Pictures is one of your selected folders, the new photo is included in the next backup. Changes to files in that folder are included too.
Files in a different folder?
Add that folder to your backup choices first. You can review and change your selected folders whenever you need.
Your computer needs to be on, the ArchiveFort app running, and an internet connection available for a backup to complete. Check My backups to see what has finished.
Development preview: this shows the intended automatic backup experience. Automatic backups are not enabled in this test setup yet.
SECURITY
Clear choices.
Careful protection.
Protecting your files before transfer
ArchiveFort creates a separate backup of the files you choose. Before sending it to storage, the app protects the copy with encryption—a security measure that makes it unreadable without the correct recovery key. Your original files remain unchanged on your computer.
Recover your files with confidence
When you need your files back, the app restores your saved copies and checks that they match the backup. Recovered files are placed in a new folder you choose, keeping existing files on your computer unchanged. Your AI guide explains each step along the way.
How backup and recovery work
Choose the files you want to protect. The app creates encrypted backup copies and sends them to private storage, while your originals stay on your computer. To recover files, follow the guided steps to restore saved copies into a new folder.
Your private files stay separate
Shared spaces are designed for files you choose to share with invited people. Your private backups stay separate from the files you share.
AI help is your choice
You can manage the page yourself or ask for help. The public preview offers example guidance. Live AI chat is not connected here.

Protect the files you use every day.
A backup is a separate copy you can recover if a file is lost, damaged, or needed on another computer.
Choose your folders. Keep using your files.
ArchiveFort saves encrypted copies of your selected files in ArchiveFort storage. Your originals stay on your computer.
With automatic backups enabled, new and changed files in your selected folders are included in the next backup. Your computer needs to be on, with the app running and an internet connection.
For example: choose Pictures, and new photos you add there will be included in the next backup.
Development preview: automatic backups are not enabled in this test setup yet.
ARCHIVE
Keep important files for the future.
An archive is for files you want to keep long term, even when you no longer use them every day.
Finished projects. Memories worth keeping.
Think of a completed business project, old family photos, or records you may need years from now. Archiving means keeping those files available for later.
A backup protects your everyday files as they change. An archive keeps files you want to preserve. Recovery brings a saved copy back when you need it.
Archiving does not automatically delete the originals or free space on your computer.
Development preview: the dedicated archive service is still being built. This page explains its purpose; it does not upload or move files.
SHARED SPACES
Keep a collection together.
Share selected photos, documents, and other files with people you invite.
Your people. Clear access.
A shared space gives family members, a group, or colleagues one place to access a collection. Your private backups stay separate.
Choose who can view and download files, who can add files, and who can manage the space. Saved versions are designed to help recover earlier copies when something changes.
For example: a family photo collection that invited relatives can view from their own computers.
Development preview: the collection, access choices, and invitations currently use fictional examples. Invitations are not sent.
RECOVERY
Get your saved files back.
Recover a file or folder after a loss, or bring your saved files to a replacement computer.
A saved copy. A fresh folder.
Choose the saved copy you need. ArchiveFort guides you through connecting the app and choosing where the recovered files go.
The app places recovered files in a new folder and checks them against the backup. Your existing files stay unchanged.
On a new computer, you will need the ArchiveFort app and your recovery access. Signing in alone does not unlock an encrypted backup.
Public preview: this explains recovery. Real recovery requires the installed app and your private account; no files are recovered here.

ARCHIVEFORT DRIVE · IN DEVELOPMENT
Your stored files, in a familiar place.
The planned Drive will appear in Windows File Explorer or Mac Finder, much like an external hard drive.
Open folders. Work with your files.
ArchiveFort Drive is planned to let you browse and work with stored files from your computer. The storage lives with ArchiveFort; it is not a physical drive plugged into your computer. An internet connection will be needed to reach files that are not available locally.
Your private folders would be separate from shared spaces. Shared spaces decide who can access a collection; Drive gives you a familiar way to access it.
Example layout — planned experience
ArchiveFort Drive
My private files
- Documents
- Personal photos
- Finished projects
Files for your own access.
Shared spaces
- Family collection
- Group documents
Collections shared with invited people, according to their permissions.
Drive access and backup serve different purposes. A backup keeps a separate copy you can recover. Drive is a way to access stored files; using it would not automatically back up every folder on your computer.
In development: this is an illustration of the intended experience. Drive mounting, file access, and offline behavior are still being built. This page does not connect a drive or access your files.
PLANS
For your life. For your people. For your business.
Choose an account for your business, yourself, or the people you share with. Plan prices and storage details will be available before you purchase.
Business
For businesses protecting work files across staff computers and sharing documents with the right people.
Manage staff access, review backup status, and recover important work files.
Personal
For one person protecting photos, documents, and important files on their own computers.
Keep your backups private and get clear guidance when you need a file back.
Family & Groups
For households, clubs, and groups that want to keep selected photos and documents together.
Keep individual backups private and share selected files with invited members.

My backup didn’t finish
Check the backup status for any files that need attention. Keep your original files, check your internet connection, and follow the retry instructions shown in ArchiveFort.
