Questions.
Can I add files to a frozen disc?
No. A frozen disc never changes, like a burned one. Put new files on a new disc.
Can you see my files?
No. Files and disc names are encrypted on your Mac with your own key before they're uploaded. We only ever store the encrypted copy.
What if I forget my password?
Nobody can reset it, not even us, and without it your frozen discs can't be opened. Keep it in a password manager, and on paper somewhere safe.
How long does it take to get a file back?
Press Thaw, and the disc is ready within 48 hours, or within 12 hours if you pick the faster option. Then you have 24 hours to download the files you want.
What does getting files back cost?
Thawing a full Blu-ray within 48 hours costs a few cents; within 12 hours, about 50 cents. Downloading is charged by the gigabytes you actually download, so pick just the files you need.
What happens after 5 years?
Renew the disc for another 5 years. We email you 60, 30 and 7 days before. If you don't renew, the disc is deleted on that date.
How is it different from iCloud or Time Machine?
iCloud and Time Machine follow the files you're still working on and keep up with every change. Frozen is for files that are finished: freeze a disc once and it stays exactly as it was for years, safe from accidental edits, deletion and ransomware.
Which Macs?
Macs running macOS 15 Sequoia or later.
