✓ Credit card (via our European partner Mollie, 100% sécurisé).
No hidden fees, and you can cancel at any time.
How does it differ from Google Photos and Google One?
Functionally, Archibou provides the same automatic backup in original quality, accessible from web, phone and computer.
La différence tient au modèle : hébergement 100% français sous droit européen (sans Cloud Act), aucune analyse, revente ou exploitation de vos données à des fins publicitaires ou d'entraînement d'IA, logiciel open-source et interopérable.
Pricing reflects the true cost of storage: you pay for the service, not with your data. Archibou is a complete cloud for your photos, documents and family sharing, not just a photo library.
