Your files & cloud storage

Your recordings are yours. Here is what happens to their local and cloud copies.

Local files and free backup

You can use Riffage without an account. Your recordings, lyrics and attachments stay on your computer. Sign in and turn on backup for a vault to get 3 GB of free cloud storage. The paid Cloud plan adds 50 GB of storage and sharing with your band.

Using another computer

Install Riffage and sign in to find your backed-up vaults. Open a vault and Riffage downloads its files automatically while the app is open and connected. Other vaults sync when you open them. Large vaults take time. Check the vault's Backup section for progress before relying on a new computer's copy offline.

Only changes that finished uploading can be restored from the cloud. Keep a separate backup of work you cannot afford to lose. Sync also carries deletions between computers; it is not a version history.

When a Cloud plan ends

The vault returns to the free 3 GB allowance. New invitations pause. Files already downloaded to your computers stay there.

If the cloud copy is over 3 GB, new uploads pause. You can remove files to get under the limit, or renew Cloud. Deletions still sync, so copy anything you want to keep somewhere outside the vault before removing it.

We email the payer with warnings. If the vault remains over the free limit for 90 days after its plan ends, its whole cloud copy may be deleted after those warnings. Renewing within that period stops the process. Getting below 3 GB also keeps the free backup available. This cleanup does not delete files already downloaded to your computers.

Deleting a vault or leaving one

Deleting a vault you own cancels its subscription, removes its cloud copy and ends everyone's access. Riffage moves your local vault folder to the recycle bin or Trash. Copies already on other people's computers remain there.

Leaving someone else's vault removes your membership and moves your local vault folder to the recycle bin or Trash. It does not delete the owner's vault.

Deletion can take time, and Riffage will show an error if it cannot finish. Check that it completed before assuming the cloud copy or subscription is gone.

Deleting your account

Use account settings in the app to delete your account. This cancels your subscriptions, deletes the cloud vaults you own and removes your memberships and sign-in account. Account deletion leaves your local files in place. Some billing, security and support records may need to be retained; see the Privacy Policy.

Need help or cannot open the app? Email support@riffage.app. We may need to verify that the account belongs to you.
