I finally committed to a photo storage

[unicornduke]

I ended up grabbing the paid dropbox. It's $100 a year for a terabyte, which is not that cheap as far as data storage goes. However, I already use dropbox extensively, all my phone photos are autouploaded and all of my important documents are on there. 

So it seems like it makes sense. Plus I don't need to go to amazon directly, although maybe dropbox hosts on there, I don't know. 

Tomorrow morning, I'll start pulling my pictures from the server and uploading them to dropbox along with the ones I've got on my computer currently.

Thank you! Individual USB sticks do sometimes come back for a visit.

You aren't under any obligation to have anything important on your computer! (I mean, the entire Chrome OS business model supposes that you don't. :)

If it takes you years to accumulate 150 GB of pictures, getting a 256 GB SD card and keeping it in your wallet (or equivalent) would make as much sense as getting a whole hard drive. Not any less losable than a USB stick but also something that might do better with being zipped into a small pocket in its tiny case.

That's a pretty good idea! I do have a zip section of my wallet which I never use. That would be a good spot along with some emergency cash.
