Storing photos?
Sang
I'm not having much luck with internet search. I'm trying to clean up
and organize to make more space for our family to explore our
interests, so I'm wanting to take pictures of sentimental stuff I've
kept over the years and store the photos. I like to have a backup
for "just in case", but I'm having trouble with jump drives, and I just
remembered someone on one of the unschooling groups (I'm guessing this
one) saying something about storing them online. Is there a site or
sites that are free (baring that, really cheap), have huge amounts of
storage, and are easily transfered either back to me and/or a photo
developing place for prints? Any information I can get would help-
offlist is fine. Thanks!
Peace,

I'm a big fan of PhotoBucket; I use the free account and it's enough for me.
I know Sandra uses the pay version and finds it worthy ;)

I store my photos in iPhoto on my computer right now - I don't have
many pics - but I was thinking of using online storage in the future
for both photos and other data. In the summer, I heard a program on
NPR about "cloud computing" (storing information online) which made me
think I needed to research it a bit more. It's here:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93841182
It hasn't stopped me from considering it, not at all. The most
important advice for me was to actually read the user agreements <g>.

I like photobucket a lot. I use it for the lyrics game, for one thing.
I pay $25 a year, I think it is, and you can edit the photos pretty
extensively within there, and they add features. I have an old (OLD)
version of Photoshop Elements, and it's just getting older and older,
but most of what it does can be done within Photobucket now, if one
has the paid account.

A free account at Flickr limits the file size to 10 MB per photo
which are compressed to 1024 pixels if they're larger than that. The
paid account to 20 MB but you can still access your original size
photos.
Also the free Flickr account only lets you see the latest 200 photos.
All the photos are still there and you can access them if you have
the links to them, but you can only see the latest 200 on your
account page. To see earlier ones you'll need to delete later ones.
http://www.flickr.com/help/photos/#18
http://www.flickr.com/help/photos/#89
Photobucket might have similar limitations.
There's also Picasa, the Google photo storage. There's a limitation
to 1G total but you can always add another account. I think Flickr is
unlimited but you can only upload 100M/month or something like that.
There are also external hard drives. You can get oodles of gigabytes
for a hundred dollars or so. (LaCie is a reliable brand. I've even
dropped it. It's like a metal brick ;-)

Not that I know of.
If people want to poke around photobucket accounts, here's mine. The
files aren't as organized as they would've been if I'd known I'd get
a paid account and live there.

Here's Holly's free account. She'd had a laptop that died on her,
and she lost photos, so we got her a laptop for Christmas 2007 and a
paid photobucket account so she could store them in two places. But
her old account is still there. I don't know if they'll look
different from the outside. There are just many more options and an
unlimited number of folders and more storage space with a paid account.

===She'd had a laptop that died on her, and she lost photos, ===
I know it's probably too late now, unless you just happen to have
that old laptop laying around, but the data on a hard drive is not
lost when the computer dies - even if you have a hard drive
malfunction.
A few years ago my hard drive crashed on my laptop with all of my
photos and several important documents on it. This included all of
my photos of my daughter's first year of life. My dh took the hard
drive out of my laptop and took it to work. His IT department had
some gadget that he hooked up to my hard drive, and he was able to
extact every file I wanted from my hard drive. After he purchased a
new hard drive for my laptop, he put the files back onto my computer,
and we went on as if the crash never happened.
I don't remember what the gadget was called, but I'm sure if you
describe it to an IT person she/he will know what you are talking
about.

You cannot (apparently, it seems) upload directly to Picasa from a
mobile phone. You can to Photobucket (with a paid account). That's
the intelligence I've gathered this week that might help with this
topic.
Pam Sorooshian and two of her girls are here with me and all three of
my kids (the youngest is 17, so not really "kids" in that way). It's
been fun but I'm not looking at e-mail much. I'll catch up on the
weekend.

I can upload to my free Photobucket from my cellphone. And I can send
directly to Blogger, either as a draft or direct publish.
