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.

We have a RAID array server in our house that runs automatic timed backups. And then I have my photos backed up, mostly, lackadaisically, onto a 1TB portable backup drive, because those things are so cheap. Just-- so cheap.
I am well aware none of this will do me any good if my house burns down. And honestly I should just fill a second hard drive with the things I genuinely care about and leave it either at work or at the farm.

Yeah, that's why I've gone with dropbox. It's somewhere in the universe. Existing. And I don't use a stand alone camera mostly so it works.

Its probably worth looking into a second and dropping it at the farm.
