Why upgrade your Backpack account?

More pages = more useful

While free accounts get you started with 5 pages, upgraded accounts include between 25 and 10,000 pages. With more pages at your disposal, you'll always have the room you need to keep everything organized. Plus you can use tags (watch a video demo) to keep your pages better organized. Get inspired by just some of the things you can do with Backpack.

The Backpack Calendar

Upgraded accounts also get access to the popular Backpack Calendar. It's simple, web-based, sharable, and it can remind you of your events via email or an SMS/text to your cell phone!

Upload and share images

image exampleBackpack makes it incredibly easy to upload images and photos for yourself, share them with a select few, or share them with the world. When you upload an image to Backpack, it automatically resizes it, thumbnails it, and then links to the full size version. You can even email photos to a Backpack page (watch this video for more on emailing content to Backpack pages). Backpack also lets you add captions to the photos if they need descriptons. Here are a few example pages with images: wedding planner, organize a craft project, comparing products you want to buy, and keeping track of your favorite wines.

Attach files to pages (just like email)

files exampleNeed to get a file up online so your friends or co-workers can share it? Want to keep some files available online so you can get to them at any time? Need to make sure you always have access to your invoice template, fax cover sheet, or expense report form? Attach them to a Backpack page. Backpack lets you attach any type or number of files to a page. You can even email files to a Backpack page.

Ad free public pages

Backpack lets you post a page publicly so anyone and everyone can see it. An ad for Backpack as well as Google text ads in the sidebar are displayed on public pages belonging to free account holders. Public pages for upgraded Backpack members are ad free (there's just a small Backpack link at the bottom of the page).

128-bit SSL security on Solo, Plus, Premium, and Max

Solo, Plus, Premium, and Max plans offer fully secured 128-bit SSL encryption to keep your data safe as it travels over the internet. This is the same level of security provided by online banks.

"Ridiculously simple and awesome"

"As a hint about what Backpack can do, and just how ridiculously simple and awesome it is, let me say this: I am about to leave the house, but I really want to continue playing with this all day, so I will." -Tangentialism

"It's worth every penny"

"Getting yourself organized can be an uphill task. But extending the thought to a small group might send shivers through your spine. If so, take a peek at this great Web-based tool. The free parts allow you to collect and share to-do and note items. If you upgrade to the paid version, you can add file attachments. Oodles of other nifty features are to be had, such as RSS feeds, and every page has an inbound e-mail address. It's worth every penny" -St. Petersberg Times

"I'm in love. Love, I tell you."

"I recently stumbled across Backpack, and I'm in love. Love, I tell you. Backpack is such a brilliant online organiser for travellers that it's like a Filofax or PDA mainlining IV espresso... Brilliant. Brilliant, I tell you." -Wanda Lust

"I want to marry it"

"It's like Flickr and Ta-Da Lists got together and had a freakishly clever child. It is the solution to my short term memory problems and heaven for the organizer in me. I want to marry it." -Simply Geek

"Perfectly conceived... the most elegantly executed web app I've seen"

"Backpack is perfectly conceived and the most elegantly executed web app I've seen. Period. I'm excited again about keeping things organized at work and at home. I plan to be Backpack-ing a lot every day" -Richard Bird
