Where do you store digital photos, %username%?

Question

Photo

Gentlemen, please tell me where to sprinkle digital photos with sand so that they lie quietly there? There is nothing particularly valuable and / or secret - just personal photos that are occasionally reviewed and even less often printed. Half a GB of personal data (roughly speaking, everything except photos) has long been entrusted to Dropbox, I do n’t want any RAID or NAS. There will be several GB of photos (rather, even dozens , and therefore not Dropbox), I don’t want to compress them, but simply store them in their original form.

While looking towards Yandex.Photos . Am I looking right or am I missing something? Maybe you can recommend something else?

And yes, I apologize for choosing a blog: I couldn’t think of anything better :(

Here’s a bullpen to “sprinkle sand” to make it easier to think:

Answer 1

I keep the originals of photos at home, on a disk (one copy on the internal, one on the external). Now they are about 700 GB, so Internet services are unlikely to help. And I use Yandex photos to share with others - it’s very convenient to get a link for a forum in a couple of clicks, in which there will be nothing superfluous.

Answer 2

Somehow, little by little, through promotions and other little things, I accumulated free 20GB on the dropbox. So I live - now there are working projects, and photos, and everything that is needed. But, if it’s still not a dropbox, then you can look at Yandex / VK / Facebook.

Answer 3

Amazon Glacier (+ on your hard drive/RAID/NASe as a fallback)

Answer 4

asked the same question 2 months ago

Answer 5

Well, if this is a photo, then I advise the same VK. I think that there will definitely be enough space there, and you can restrict access to viewing with the standard privacy settings. For example, open some albums only for yourself and, for example, family/friends/etc…

Answer 6

I bought an external HDD to use as a photo album and I throw everything off there.

Answer 7

I store everything - originals in equals and processed in typhs - locally, a permanent lightroom base on a working SSD, the photos themselves on a large HDD and a backup on an external screw. There is no other way: browsers lie about colors and profiles, downloading back and forth to a service which is difficult and long, plus I don’t trust third-party resources, in whose power it will be to change only one tick under the slogan “we have the right” to undermine my many years of work . Sometimes I clean the base from all rubbish, but everyone has it, and I advise you, less trash means less storage.
If I still feel like bringing the entire database to the network, then I will choose a pro-account on flickr.

Answer 8

I store in Picasaweb, saves originals and even videos.

Answer 9

I use Bitcasa to store photos. Free and unlimited data volume. Particularly important is also duplicated in Dropbox.

Answer 10

I use Box.com for long-term (I hope so) storing photos, six months ago they had a promotion with free 50GB accounts when registering from Android - then I got enough of them for myself, now I'm slowly filling it up (DSL Internet ...)

Answer 11

I use something like this . Very smart and comfortable

Answer 12

I store on Yandex pictures . It's free unlimited. Stored in original quality. Allows you to work with albums, compress, link to a map and other goodies. There is a plugin for google picasa that allows you to automatically download albums from disk.
There is also fotki.com (a very popular resource abroad) and google picasa web .
But for free they allow you to store only compressed pictures in non-original quality. If these are pictures, then in my opinion it is critical. After all, this is a memory of you - in 10 years you will need it in its original quality - but you will not return it.
I don't see the point in keeping the originals at home. If you do not trust Yandex photos, you can backup to backup services. If by the way you can upload them as an archive, Yandex has such an option.

Answer 13

flickr, pikasa, yfrog, FB/vk, msft skydrive — there are online copies of my photos.
the originals upon arrival to the size of the DVD are rolled onto a blank and lie down on the table.

Answer 14

I have almost a terabyte of photos, of course, I always shot in raw. There are also films that I scanned, they are in 16 bit 4000 dpi, each film pulls 4-5 gigabytes after 7-zip compression.
Bought NAS, in parallel I do copies on BD-R 50GB. If you order them from the Internet, then it costs 135 rubles per disc.
Before that, I made copies on DVD (double and single-layer), before them - on CD. By the way, all CDs and DVDs are still readable, except for the ones I scratched.
I'm thinking about storage on the Internet, but no one gives terabytes cheap yet :-)
