![]() Depending on how much space the media folder requires, you might have to pay additional for this storage. Software MacKiev suggests using a cloud file storage service, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or Apple iCloud to back up your FTM media folder. In this respect, the mobile app is superior, since it displays any media that were uploaded with the tree or are attached to Ancestry sources. However, the mobile version will not have any media, since they’re not uploaded to TreeVault. However, if it works well, it seems like this might be a useful feature of TreeVault, enabling you to view your tree on a mobile device.

Software MacKiev to FTM users with the following features: ![]() It's a very enjoyable program to use, though, if you ensure you have properly set the privacy settings and don't accidentally upload all your data.As the name implies, this is a new cloud service offered by I also have Myheritage's Family Tree Builder, but I don't like the way it connects when I'm not looking. I used it briefly but practically every entry sent me to the user manual and the forums. In fact, I think Gramps would suit me better, but it's a steep learning curve. Only drawback I've found is I don't like the format of the printed reports. I have a huge database in this, and anything sensitive or personal will definitely not find its way online by mistake. I do love the way it operates entirely offline so I'm not dependant on an internet connection. I am now using Version 3 which is available for free download at I find it an excellent way to store my information but it's not the most graphical, being an older package. I am using Cumberland, which I began using in 1997. and can be found in Maplin and sometimes Tesco for around £ 12. The offline version works fine with any Ay sub. In the case of Ay they have a dedicated offline program which synchs with the online tree. Many people keep their main tree off line and a reference copy on GRU, Ancestry etc. There are various versions of GED and there is no consistent way in which FH software imports/exports the format. When uploading to GRU all existing data at GRU will be lost. It also comes as a shock to many that links to census etc also disappear. Gramps for windows can be found here: REMEMBER that when downloading a GED file from GRU or any other FH web site notes, graphics etc are not retained. GRAMPS otoh is free and has no restrictions at all. ![]() These restrictions especially apply to printouts. Most of the "free" offline programs are for nobbled / restricted versions of software which is charged for at full price.
