Hi Neil,

I would advise against it, largely on the basis
of lack of control.

All it needs is someone to create a
trivial court case, then serve a
witness summons on her
storage provider, and they would have to release
the
photos.

So stick with good old DVDs and USB sticks, if
necessary stored at several
addresses, then you retain
control and the photos remain out of the hands
of others.


Regards,
Ray.

Subj: [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?

Neil

Well, lots of answers and lots to consider. Perhaps this one above is the simplest and safest. It was changing to a new computer that caused the question. Thanks for all the suggestions and ideas. 

Neil
