There are various digital photo storage options; the only thing to remember is to always back up your photos. Whether on an SD card or your phone, you never want to lose those moments and memories. Here are a few ideas for getting your photos safely backed up!
Uploading digital photos to a cloud storage service like Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud is the quickest and most hassle-free way to make them available to loved ones far and wide. You can make a special album for your pictures and then send the link to your loved ones. If you have Amazon Prime you may not know you have access to cloud storage, but you do! (This is how I back up my iPhone images and using the app on my phone it’s so easy.)
You can also keep your digital photos on external hard drives or USB flash drives or I like a solid state drive if I’m travelling, which are examples of physical photo storage devices. Transferring the storage device to family members is more secure than using an online cloud service.
Sharing digital photographs with loved ones is now easier than ever thanks to social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Flickr. Those close to you can be invited to a secret group or album you make.
Displaying your digital photographs in a digital photo frame is a wonderful option for decorating your home or workplace. This digital photo frame is perfect for displaying and gifting your favourite digital photographs to friends and loved ones.
If you care about keeping your digital photos safe and easily accessible for years to come, you should always back them up in more than one location.
