Example. New shoots are picked up and sent to the cloud as they land.
The problem
Most photographers keep every copy in the same room. And even those copies are a mess.
RAW outgrows the laptop within a year or two, so the archive spills onto external drives. Each year adds a drive or two. Labels fade, one drive is the "backup" of another until it isn't, and nobody can say which drive holds the 2019 weddings. All of it sits in one drawer.

What survives?
Same bad day. Two outcomes.
Pick what goes wrong. Today's setup: recent shoots on the laptop and a desk SSD, nine years of archive on drives in a drawer. With Shutterfort: laptop, recent cloud, deep archive.

How it works
Two apps. One archive. Nothing to manage.
Shutterfort runs on your laptop and on your phone. The laptop keeps every shoot safe. The phone shows you all of it, wherever you are.
On your laptop
Every shoot goes to the cloud the moment it lands.
Copied as it lands
A new shoot is on its way to the cloud as soon as it reaches the laptop. No button, no schedule, no card to remember.
Catalog and edits go too
Your Lightroom or Capture One catalog travels with the RAWs, so a restore brings back your work, not just files.
Every file checked
Each copy is compared to the original and checked again every month. You hear from us only when something needs you.
New laptop in an hour
Sign in, pick a shoot or everything, and your library comes back with no broken links or missing folders.
On your phone
Your whole archive in your pocket. Something no drive ever gave you.
Today the 2019 weddings live on a drive in a drawer. With Shutterfort you open your phone and they are there, with every shoot you've ever taken, from anywhere.
See every photo you've ever shot
Every shoot since your first, the way you remember it. Search by date, place or name.
Know where every copy lives
Each shoot shows its copies: laptop, recent cloud, deep archive. No more "did I back that up?"
Pull back any photo
From the fastest place it exists. Recent shoots in seconds. Older ones in hours, cost shown first.
Geo-tag your photos, too
Use the phone app to add the location to every RAW, from your phone's own location history. Nothing to pair.

Your external drives
Retire them. Or keep them, if you like.
Once a shoot is verified in deep archive, the drive that held it is free. Wipe it, reuse it, sell it. If you'd rather keep drives for speed or peace of mind, Shutterfort watches them too and tells you when one hasn't been seen in a while.
The honest trade-off
- Recent shoots
- Back in seconds, free.
- Older shoots
- Back in a few hours. A 200 GB wedding costs a few dollars to get back.
- Whole archive
- Takes a day or two; the cost is shown before you start.
- Monthly
- About a dollar per terabyte for the archive. No "unlimited" tricks.
