The site is now in ‘beta’ format and is free to anyone to use. It will eventually have a fee — but then you can still have 500 photos uploaded along with unlimited audio recordings uploaded. If you need to have more than 500 photos, the fee would be $3.99 a month for total unlimited.

What you will have is ‘Cloud-Based’ storage of the photos and vocal recordings. The recordings can be a couple minutes or hours worth as you or someone else tells about a family ancestor or discusses about one or many photos. With the sharing aspect, others can add to the information.
