I'm thinking about buying some more storage on OneDrive and storing all my photos. I'd be interested to hear if and where you store your photos.
Thanks, Ann

No, my internet access is too limited to use up gigabytes moving pictures to online storage. I burn cd's

Funny you asked this! I am currently in the process of uploading all of my photos from my computer to Google Photos. I was watching CNBC today and they talked about Google Photos and how good it is. It is free and unlimited for standard sized images). I was looking for photo storage so I'm giving this a try. Here is an article regarding image hosting: Five Best Image Hosting Sites |

Yes. I have almost everything on Flickr (private settings) as one extra repository for my photos. I also have my complete backup strategy, which gives me redundant copies of everything on all our computers, including photos.

All of my photos end up on Picasa, Shutterfly and burned to CD's.

I would NOT use it as my only storage. I have seen several online places shut down with no warning and no access to photos.
2peas had a long standing affiliation with a print company that had a good reputation- scrapbookpictures or something like that. While they did warn their customers they were closing they only gave a months notice and there were lots of people who didn't get the word in time. I've known several other places that closed with no warning.
So if you use online, even in a reputable company, make sure you have them somewhere else.
I prefer having two external hard drives that mirror each other. So if one fails the other can be copied. And no one else ever can shut me out of my own photos.

I agree with Volt - online storage is convenient and a nice extra backup, but don't count on that as your ONLY backup.

Yes. I have them on my external HD, backed up twice-weekly to another external HD and then stored in both Dropbox and Box.

I store my pics at smugmug. I upload them from my computer manually, and have an app on my phone to upload any pics from there automatically when I'm on wifi and plugged in. I also use carbonite and backblaze, both of which store my photos along with all of my other files (most of them, in the case of carbonite). I also store them on my HD. Hopefully I'm covered.  |

I have mine automatically uploaded on One Drive from my camera phone. Than, each year we make a photo book thru My Publisher and all the best one's are uploaded there. So far, all the books I've made are still stored on their site so it's kind of like a second back up...

Amazon prime has free, unlimited photo storage. Photos upload immediately to the cloud from my phone. Really nice. I also bought extra storage for videos.

I use SmugMug. It is fantastic, used by many small professional photographers. I originally chose it because I could upload photos at full rsolution, but another important thing to me is that it's a paid service, not free. It's not expensive for the basic service ($45/year) but like Volt, I had seen many places close with little or no warning. My feeling is that that is less likely to happen with a storage service that people pay to use.
