One payment. A vault for life.
2 TB of zero-knowledge, post-quantum storage. Pay once and keep it for the life of the product — no subscription, no renewal, the same encryption as every ShieldFive plan.
Privacy isn’t a promise. It’s the architecture.

You pay for space, never for protection. Every plan — Free to Pro to this lifetime vault — ships the identical architecture.
Safe against “harvest now, decrypt later”
ML-KEM-1024 protects your keys against a future quantum computer. Not a paid add-on — the default, on every file, on every plan including Free.
Encrypted before it leaves your device
Files are encrypted on your device before they leave it. We hold ciphertext and nothing else. No key, no backdoor, no plaintext.
You do not have to trust us
The cryptographic core is open source under Apache-2.0. The part that decides whether your files are safe is public and inspectable.
no renewal
Shield+ 2 TB is normally €96 / year → this is €199, once.

“Lifetime” = 99 years or until the service ceases, per Terms §5.3. Already bought it? Redeem it here.
What “lifetime” actually means
We’d rather tell you the boring truth than sell you a fantasy. Here is exactly what you’re buying. To compare it with the other providers that still sell pay-once storage, see lifetime cloud storage compared.
Definition
Lifetime means 99 years, or until ShieldFive ceases to operate the service — whichever comes first (Terms §5.3). It is non-transferable.
If we ever wind down
You get advance notice and a full export. Your data is encrypted and decrypts only on your device, so you take your files and leave — nothing is held hostage.
Fair use
The vault is 2 TB. No metering, no surprise overage — a real, stated ceiling.
Why we can offer it
You hold the keys; we hold ciphertext. Storage costs fall every year, and most vaults never fill — so a one-time price is honest maths, not a gamble we are hiding.
You hold the keys. We hold ciphertext.
That is the only reason a price this permanent can be honest — not a discount we hope you forget, just the maths of a service that stores only ciphertext.
Buy the space once.
Keep it for good.
