Question : Does anyone keep their digital photos solely on an online photo storage site?
I’m trying to get organized and I feel like it’s redundant keeping my photos on my computer and uploading them to an online photo share site. What are some of the drawbacks to consider in keeping them solely on an online site?
Ok…after some research and reading responses, I think I have come to a decision…I think I will use Picasa – It looks like something I can organize my photos with on my own computer…and create back-up DVDs with…AND it appears that I can share directly from Picasa w/email…not to mention order prints from various vendors through them as well…Problem solved! Or are there drawbacks there too…if so, please share!

Why pay someone else to handle your personal effects when you can trust yourself virtually for free? I would suggest just getting a large 8 gb sd memory card. You can get them on ebay for like $ 15-$ 20. That will most likely store all the photos you’ll ever need and you can store it someplace physical that is not just on your computer. All these companies trying to sell online storage space are just trying new ways to make money from online consumers.
