I’ve been using google photo. I find this convenient since my family use a mix or android / ios devices. I have about 100,000 photos. Google photo is coming to an end after May 2019. What is a good source of backup for photos that is not device dependant, and not limited in size? I don’t mind paying for storage.
 
memories, live those moments.
 
all the gongkias who store their photos with google photo will now face their cumuppance. never trust google even if their featured apps are “free”. they will have to eventually charge a fee for storage or shut it down. this kind of bullshit “altruistic” free storage cannot last forever. now the user have to move thousands of images and video files from one app to another - a chore too daunting for many and the data would just be left for google to own and sexploit as there’s fine print in the agreement when the user “accepts” upon registering for the app that all personal data would belong to google. i pay for storage with apple to use their icloud service and regularly backup my data on daisy chained 6.9tb ssd devices. if i need 3-4 more tb i simply chain another one up. the ssd devices are also sync’ed with icloud for online backup.

If you don't mind paying Photoshelter is a great place for creating albums for all your images.
 
Ultimately cloud storage is always vulnerable of hacking & closure. Nothing is certain. Have your own storage hdd and keep in dry cabinet.

Biscuit tin solution still the best.

Yeah but no gaycloud for moi
 
Just storage. No privacy issue as I don’t store porn. Google can have it. Btw, I chose the paid option, not free.

Biscuit tin is for storing money.

when yahoo offered free storage for images, i fell for it, and after uploading 6.9k images, they shut it down and asked me to migrate to flckr. migrated to flickr, and then access became unfriendly. so flicked my middle finger at flickr and used my own ssd storage. but then lost an encrypted 69g ssd device. thus signed up for icloud storage plus 6.9tb of apple time capsules for local backup and storage. it's not gay at all. very reliable and cheap.

Come to think of it I do have 200GB of I-cloud. But then I’m a bimbo, can I actually access iCloud from android device? I need my photos to be easily accessible from all my gay and non gay devices.

got rid of all my android devices after learning that they spied on my shitting habits and advertisers started to spam on laxatives, supplements, and shitty products. they most likely know how your genitals look like too. they are the biggest voyeur of the universe. sinkie downblouse and upskirt notoriety pale in comparison. :eek:

Apple Cloud and Google Cloud don't play nice with each other... which is quite silly as it is quite a hassle to migrate from one ecosystem to the other.
 
Flickr was good but Yahoo was then acquired by Verizon and Flickr was sold off to another company.

I think there are some restrictions now, you have to pay money for Pro if you store a lot of photos.

best is auto sync and saving of images to the cloud from all devices from anywhere. with icloud all my contents are auto saved whenever and wherever i am. can also retrieve content anytime anywhere like ssd is next to me without need to log in and muck around the site. only time when i need to backup to local ssd is when i’m home where macbook will sync with localized time capsule. all these apps for image storage that require log in pose a hassle and pain in the arse. and they are not seamless with your devices. imo, apple now has the best, most secured, and reliable storage service.
 
For super heavy users, Dropbox charges US$60 for unlimited space usage for 3 user accounts.
Can share within family (3 user accounts)
