Permanent storage for creative work
Final renders, master recordings, manuscript versions, design archives. Creative output is years of work — it deserves a permanent home.
Archive Creative WorkMaster files, kept forever
Store final versions of your work on Arweave with a one-time fee. No subscription, no "your account was closed" surprise.
Share with permanent links
Every file gets a permanent URL — embed it in portfolios, listings or social bios. The link never breaks.
Proof of existence
The transaction timestamp and hash let you show a work existed by a certain date — useful for disputes about originality.
01Why creators lose work
A hard drive dies with unreleased tracks. A hosting account lapses and a portfolio vanishes. A platform shuts down and years of uploads disappear with it.
Long Drive stores your files on the Arweave network directly — the same permanence that preserves documents can preserve your master recordings and design files.
02What to store
Master files you cannot re-create: final audio mixes, video masters, high-res images, font files, code you shipped. Small files under 100 KB are free forever.
Large masters cost a one-time fee — check the calculator. For unreleased or client-confidential work, enable browser encryption.
03The practical case
A musician archives the final masters of every release — about 60 MB per album. One album costs roughly a dollar one-time on Arweave, versus a cloud subscription that never ends.
Each album gets a permanent link for label partners and a timestamp proving when the master existed.
Creators FAQ
Can I share a large video master via link?
Yes. Upload once, and the permanent URL can be shared. Note that Arweave links are public unless you encrypt the file.
Do you support common creative formats?
Long Drive stores any file type — audio, video, images, code, documents. The format is preserved as-is.
What about works-in-progress?
Permanent storage suits finished work best. For drafts you iterate on, version carefully — each upload is a new immutable transaction.
