What it is
FamilyAlbum is a private photo and video sharing service designed to help parents share children’s moments with loved ones. Uploads are automatically arranged into monthly albums, where invited family members can view media, comment, and respond to reactions. Album owners can check whether relatives have viewed photos, and access is limited to people the user invites. The free plan includes unlimited photo and video storage and 11 free prints per family member each month. Users can follow suggestions for monthly photobooks or make their own. FamilyAlbum is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Paid plans start at $2.99 a month: Premium One is $2.99 a month, Premium Family is $5.99 a month or 59 USD per year, and Premium Family Pro is $10.99 a month or 109 USD per year. Features depend on the plan; Premium subscribers can upload supported photo and video files from a computer after registering an email address in the smartphone app. FamilyAlbum says transfers between devices and servers are encrypted and that it does not sell user data to third parties. The service was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.
