Finally finished uploading all my 12,600+ images to the cloud as a third back-up... (Already have them stored on the PC with back-ups on an external drive and then another external drive kept off site at my folks house). It's taken around a week doing a batch at a time so as not to hog the fibre.

 

Maybe of interest to others with Amazon Prime but you get unlimited Amazon cloud storage for photos with your Prime membership and they accept most file formats including most RAW formats. Unfortunately this doesn't include video files but i uploaded a few to Amazon and the other 25gb worth to Onedrive as i had 30gb available on my account with them.

 

 

 

I use a cloud backup service in Sydney from NZ as the NZ ones were far too expensive. It took 6 weeks to do the initial sync on my poxy ADSL2+ connection. I now have nearly 400GB stored. Hope I never have to restore it.

I was looking at paying for a cloud service for my photos and videos and with the total being around 105-110gb i would have been looking at a 200gb limit. The prices seemed to range from £62 to £100 per year with Amazon being the cheapest but with it being a single annual payment ratgher than monthly etc.... It was only when i looked on the site i realised i got the unlimited photo storage included in my Prime membership.

 

So for my £79 annual prime membership i get the unlimited free next day courier delivery on orders, my instant video streaming service and now the unlimited cloud photo service too.... So for me now that's not too bad a deal at all.

Didn't know prime included that, time to get uploading. Cheers!

I think it started this last month or so.

Great feature of prime.  

 

We also have Google Drive 1TB.  

 

I have about 250GB uploaded.  Once you go over the 100GB mark it narrows your choices.
