About ArchiveSend

Two people, one price, and a deliberate decision not to hold your photographs.

ArchiveSend is made by Sacramento Labs, a two person software company. We also run Watchman Monitoring and a handful of other tools, all built the same way: small, paid for by the people who use them, and not looking for an exit.

Why the storage works this way

Every tool we looked at holds the photographs. That is the normal arrangement and it is the one that goes wrong, because the archive a photographer builds a career on ends up as leverage in somebody else's business decision. Plans change, limits drop, companies are bought.

Holding nothing is the only honest answer to that, so it is the design rather than a feature. Your files move from your computer to your storage account and from there to your client. We sign a link and stay out of the path. It also happens to be why a two person company can charge ten dollars and deliver a forty gigabyte wedding: we pay for no storage and no bandwidth, so there is nothing to meter.

Why it costs ten dollars

Because that is what it needs to cost, not what we could get. There is no tier above it, nothing is gated behind an upgrade, and taking our name off the pages your clients see is a checkbox rather than a plan.

Who we are not for

If you want somebody else to keep your archive and take responsibility for it, this is the wrong tool and we would rather say so now. ArchiveSend asks you to own your storage. That is five minutes of setup and a bill from a third party, and in exchange nobody can hold your work hostage. Some people do not want that trade. It is a reasonable position.

Talking to us

support@archivesend.com reaches both of us. There is no ticket queue to climb and no first line reading from a script, because there are only two of us to read it.
