Re: [LUG] Storing photos

Had some grief from my daughter today. I have a new computer and I transferred things like her bookmarks from the old one. But what about all her photos I was asked.

I have copied her photos from backup storage on a DVD so that is OK. But it started me thinking. Would it be a good idea to suggest that she store her photos on line somewhere? This already happens with her emails since I use an IMAP system.

Would that be a good idea? And if so, where would be a good place. This is purely for storage, she is not into photo sharing on line. It is just a way of making sure that if anything happens to this computer her photos are safe.

Yes, I know that I backup onto a DVD for her, but with on line storage she could look after all that herself.

Comments anyone?

Dropbox?

Not used it myself, but I know many who have (which I think can give
referall codes, etc.)
