Take control. It’s time to own your digital content.

The cloud can be incredibly valuable. It can give you peace of mind about your photos and important documents, knowing there’s a copy out there somewhere. But as more cloud services begin to charge a monthly storage fee, it’s worth reconsidering where you store and back up your most precious memories. Apart from ongoing and potentially expensive monthly storage fees, let’s take a look at other factors to consider when deciding where to store your digital content.

Can I backup all my content to the cloud?

Once you exceed a certain storage amount on your cloud account, you may not be able to back up additional files if you don’t accept cloud service providers’ monthly storage fees. Eliminate the risk and ensure your important memories and files stay close by storing them on devices you own and control.

Can I view my photos in full resolution?

You can upload the best quality images from your smartphone or camera, but image quality may be downsized when you view or share photos or videos stored on the cloud. Being able to access anywhere isn’t so great if you’re not seeing original quality.

Should I pay rent to store my personal backup?

Even if you’re already subscribed to a cloud service, how confident are you that those costs won’t rise? And don’t forget, you’ll be paying those monthly storage fees year after year. These are your photos, videos and files. Why pay rent to store them?

Own Your Digital Content

Western Digital offers alternatives to cloud storage solutions from our WD and SanDisk brands to give you control over your digital life. By investing in a physical storage device that you own, and taking a few simple steps to set up, you’ll be in control of your digital content.

No Monthly Storage Fees

Forget about monthly storage fees or surprise cost increases. Don’t pay ongoing fees when you can own your storage.

Original Quality

Enjoy your content in its original quality, not anything less. Your memories deserve to shine.

Trust

Peace of mind knowing your personal content is safely backed up on storage you can see, hold, and trust.
