I’ve just ordered two Seagate external harddrives drives. I’ve been debating whether to get the ones which plug into the mains or not. Ended up going with ones which plug into the mains. Hope I’ve done the safest thing. Thanks

Thank you so much. I have them organised in dated folders but definitely need a sort through. I’m going to get a harddrive and then print some off too. Thanks again

If you were to buy a 4tb harddrive, which brand would you go for?

Thank you so much for all this advice. It’s really useful. Does the brand of harddrive matter? Wd, seagate, etc?

I’m going to buy 2 more external hard drives and set up amazon photo. Any recommendations for the best external hard drive please? Should I get a mains powered one or not? I’m looking to get 4tb. Any advice? I’ve been looking at seagate and Wd ones on amazon

The £7.99 you pay for amazon prime next day delivery- does that automatically let you save photos on the cloud?

Thank you very much for your reply. I have organised my folders by date thankfully. It is very time consuming but it is done that way. I’m just very concerned about both drives failing. It’s all ifs and buts. Yes cloud storage can fail or fold too. I really appreciate your reply. Do you use two...

I’ve spent a few days looking at cloud storage. All seems very costly especially if I am buying 2 harddrives too and replacing them- but like I say, these photos are very special to me. I’ve come across pcloud. They are offering a lifetime service of 2TB for £350. Has anyone any thoughts on this?

Thank you. I think I will need to buy more harddrives and look into cloud storage too

Yes I definitely need to delete some and work through them.

Thank you. One question about the cloud storage option- I’ve got into the habit of taking anything between 3 and 20 photos of the same thing (it comes with having a moving baby and trying to get the best shot) so if I upload everything to a cloud storage then go and delete lots, does it save the...

I can’t even think about losing the photos. Surely it’s quite unlikely that both external harddrives would become corrupt?! So it’s just thinking about what I continue with next- cloud storage or more external harddrives?

Maybe cloud storage is the best option.

thank you for this. Could you explain to me- is this like a cloud system? Do you just use 2TB? I’m just thinking if I bought this, my system would be full straight away. When you say- a few higher capacity usb drives, are they more robust that the external harddrives I have? I’m just trying to...

Thank you. Yes they are two identification copies. I find it quite time consuming to transfer the files but hopefully worth it. Im intending on making photo books with them too so we have paper copies. Just haven’t got round to that yet! Need to do it as a priority. Thanks again
