Collectionaire is a simple but smart cloud app for building the ultimate shareable digital family collection. It not only allows you to find your family's best photos and videos but now your family members can as well, and view them on any connected device. Collectionaire is not a photo storage site, but instead a “hub” that brings together all media and memories stored in other online photo and video sites to become one online site where your best digital photo albums, home movies, digitized scrapbooks, slide shows, audio recordings, journals, etc. are all brought together in one collection, and navigated via your family tree rather than nested folders. So even your parents can find your family's best memories.
