How do you store all your photos?

@GovanDUNNY no I dunno about that

@Mellowgirl you always copying me

@GovanDUNNY I don't think that's true.

@SW-User amazon if you have prime have amazon photos and it's free

@Mellowgirl Just make sure you have an extra copy stored elsewhere.

I don't quite do that but I do keep my external backup disk separate from my laptop (usually in my handbag).

@Mellowgirl I don't have Prime, but it might be better value than Dropbox.

@GovanDUNNY Or 2 TB for 70 GBP. I have a little 2 TB Toshiba Canvio which comes in a convenient little pouch so you can keep it together with its USB cable. I have my laptop set up so that when I plug the drive in it automatically takes a backup.

the SanDisk glide flash drives have a high photo capacity, along with others in the website above.

External drives, dropboxes are also good as other's suggested.

@SethGreene531 thanks so much

@DarkSideoftheMoon You're welcome, I hope you find something that works.☺️

@DarkSideoftheMoon I swear closer to 1992, but I can be proven wrong.

@SW-User no 1989 is the year i was born

@DarkSideoftheMoon That's hard to imagine and makes entire sense. In that way I'm not even that much older, but those events can matter there in how we remember

@CheekyBadger ah i have a laptop but i never use it and its old. Still works beautifully but i dont use it often and whenever i turn it on it needs to update to i let it update, do whatever i need and turn it off and ignore it for months on end

But maybe ill go on and download my photos to it im just nervous when it does go ill lose the photots

@DarkSideoftheMoon if you buy yourself an external hard drive you can store a copy on the laptop and on the external hard drive so if one breaks you still have the other. Just don't keep them together in case something happens to both at the same time. I keep one of my backups 10000 miles away! Bit difficult to access it though!

@CheekyBadger i have to google what an external harddrive is 🙈

@DarkSideoftheMoon bad times 😂 most of mine are screenshots and memes

@GLITTER omg me too, sometimes i get memories and see an old funny meme and it makes my day

@DarkSideoftheMoon I do like when I get the memories, I do appreciate those 😊

@Northwest i dont want to pay monthly 😫

@DarkSideoftheMoon I recommend you invest in a cloud plan. If you have a Microsoft 365 Account, gives you Excel, Word, Powerpoint and a bunch of other stuff, for 5 devices/accounts, each account gets 1TB cloud space for free. I think it runs about $100 per year. Google has a similar thing.

@V00doo i started doing that too with my wedding photos and my daughters pictures but i filled an album already of 200 pics and shes only been alive 8 weeks 😬
