“Hi. I', trying to understand the point of this product. Doesn't google photos accomplish the same thing? What happens if the product is discontinued or they go out of business...do you lose all your photos? What if your hdd breaks, do you lose all photos?”

If you're on a free plan at Google Photos, your photos are downscaled to 16MP. In order to save the original resolutions, you will need to pay monthly fees according to your usage. With Monument, all your photos and videos are stored in their original resolution without having to pay monthly fees. Moreover, Monument provides true privacy and security for your photos. Regarding other questions: - If Monument goes out of business, you can still run the apps and all your content will be still on your connected drive - they will not be affected. - Regarding HDD question, you can connect a second drive to Monument; it will mirror the content from the primary drive. So, you will have two copies in case one of your disks fail. Please let us know if you have any questions.

If you trust the Cloud to maintain your photo memories and privacy, and don't mind paying monthly fees for additional storage, then you don't need this device. Using this device ensures that you have full possession of your photos and backups as well. The ease of use uploading photos from mobile devices and camera is like having your own personal Cloud. What if any of the Cloud services go out of business or change their terms of agreement? Look at Flickr now as an example.
