Hello. I’m a newbie here. I’m also not a professional photographer but would greatly appreciate your advice.
I am just a mum who loves taking photos of my two girls as they grow. Subsequently, I have been storing digital images and videos taken on my iPhone on two separate 2TB Seagate hard drives. I have 4-5 years worth of memories on there which are incredibly precious. My seagate harddrives are now full.
I’m aware that apple offer storage but I think I would need to pay £7 a month for this. I worry that one day I might not get access or what will happen if I no longer use apple products.
Would anyone be able to answer my questions please?
*would storing them on iCloud with apple be the safest option? Or should I repurchase another two harddrives?
*Is storing the photos on two separate harddrives the safest option in case one dies? I have one as a back up- thank goodness I did as one day I dropped one and had to buy another to back up.
*are mains powered external harddrives better than just usb plug in ones?
Thank you for any help. I’m quite anxious about losing any memories in the form of photos and videos. My phone fills up quickly and I transfer them on the harddrives then delete them. I’m sure I take too many photos but I get so much joy from sharing them with my girls
