Don’t be a statistic!
I have heard too many horror stories of people losing THOUSANDS of their pictures from a broke or lost phone.
Pictures of your babies, your graduation, your sweet puppy, Molly. If you only listen to one thing I ever say, have it be this!
Here are a few backup options for you:
1.) DropBox. This is my favorite and what I’ve used for years now. I think it’s very user friendly and can backup both photos/videos as well as documents like PDF’s and Word/Excel files.
2.) iCloud. This is pretty much the same as Dropbox but like I said, I feel DropBox is more user friendly so I’m partial to that.
3.) Amazon Photo. If you have an Amazon Prime account, you get this for free! Unlimited photo storage and up to 5GB of video. But it doesn’t accept other types of documents like PDF’s.
4.) USB’s and External Hard Drives: I would only use these as temporary storage options as these things fail at a faster rate than cloud storage. Nothing is immune to failure but these are more likely to it.
DropBox and iCloud give you up to a certain amount of storage for free, and then you have the option to pay for more. Please don’t let this hold you back from preserving your memories. We live in a digital world now and we have to take certain measures to protect them! Budget for this like you would any other important aspect of your life!
