# Lifetime Storage; One Time Fee

A one-time payment provides long-term security and no ongoing charges. You pay once when you upload a file and it's stored for the lifetime of the Network. No contract re-negotiations, no losing access if you miss a payment. 

Simple, secure, perpetual storage.

Not only does this allow you to escape the cloud and its spiralling costs, it's vital for giving you true sovereignty over your own data, your digital life, and legacy.
