Any suggestions what online storage I should use?.

1352168 2013-08-27 05:11:00 How many photographs? If you're shooting thousands of you guessed it digital and maybe they are in RAW format, it's going to be pretty slow going to upload. You can do it over time and leave them there archived. You may only get 10GB isn't it with G Drive and the likes. Some of the photo geeks like to use Crash Plan it is a monthly subscription and provides unlimited data.

1352171 2013-08-27 23:42:00 Or just email them to a free gmail a/c . 1101 (13337)
1352172 2013-08-27 23:50:00 If you take them on an Android phone, just enable the Instant Upload on G+. They're then privately stored online at a 2MP resolution, no limit, no expiry, good quality, no fuss.

Either that or just upload them to G+ anyways, there's still no limit if you upload from your Desktop either :)

Windows Phone does something similar with SkyDrive (with a full-res-requires-WiFi option) :)

Not sure if the iPhone has this feature though, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't :p

1352175 2013-08-28 02:45:00 I would avoid using any US based cloud service, but I don't like foreign governments viewing my data, YMMV. DeSade (984)
