Sneezing fallow buck photo 'one-in-a-million shot'

I've probably got a terabyte or so on my NAS and other external drives, and I don't at the moment fancy paying the current commercial rates for that (obviously it is going to come down). there is no monetary cost for google photos. Even for a terabyte? I'd be surprised if that would be free for 100 million users. (I don't know how much compression they apply). for photos up to 16 mpix, it's unlimited. otherwise it's 15 gig for free. most people don't have a terabyte of photos, let alone in the cloud, and they don't necessarily need full resolution there anyway. google data mines what is uploaded to sell targeted ads, so there is also a privacy cost. https://www.google.com/photos/about/ Back up unlimited photos and videos for free, up to 16MP and 1080p HD. Access them from any phone, tablet, or computer on photos.google.com * your photos will be safe, secure, and always with you. for those who really do have 1tb of photos, there's flickr: https://lifehacker.com/flickr-offers...r-your-photos- 50-ye-508972406 Yahoo, in an attempt to make its photo-hosting service Flickr relevant again, decided to offer 1TB of free space to all users. The downside? Everyone who doesn't pay $50 per year gets ads. one thing online services offer that nases normally do not is being able to access any photo from anywhere. you don't need to also have copies on your phone and laptop. another is offsite backup. Oh yes I am sold on the cloud for things like calendars, contacts, and even email. email has always been in the cloud. otherwise it could not work. it's possible to set up outside access to one's own nas, but making sure it's secure is non-trivial, plus most apps aren't designed to link to it anyway. Agree; certainly too much trouble for me. But it's nice to be able to pick up photos straight through the wifi on the smart TVs. yep. |
