Why your family history should live in your own Google Drive

Many family-history services keep your tree in their database. If they change their prices, or close, your work goes with them.

We do it differently. Your tree is a single portable file that lives in your own Google Drive. The website opens it, edits it and saves it back, but it does not keep a permanent copy.

What that means for you

  • You can see the file in Drive at any time.
  • You can back it up, copy it or share it like any other document.
  • You can revoke this site’s access to Drive whenever you like.

It is a simple idea, and it is the reason a one-time payment is enough to keep the service running.
