Cloud storage for photographers

12 years 8 months ago #129327 by SJM
I'm looking at a solution for Cloud storage for photographers and wondering what are the larger companies to look at. I have found a couple but their sites look pretty dead with little activity. Are photographers trusting services like this yet? Personally I would like to get my photos off my personal hard drives to free up space and hopefully have some protection.

Try amazon s3, mozy & carbonite. And get a new HDD. They're cheap. ;)

I have my shots up Zenfolio and double backed up on hard drives.

External hard drives are so cheap now, just buy a few, its how I store my photos, although I do have a lot on a companies site called photobox, who are very good and seem safe, they have had some of my photos for a lot of years.

I use cloud storage for Family Albums. Pics I could never re-shoot.

I have too many to go all offsite.

Isn't there a company called Buffalo that offers something like that?

Buffalo makes NAS and RAID storage. Not sure if they have offsite storage though?
