Where you suggest I store my raw pictures online to save space on my laptop?
got to agree with Di, in the long term, an external drive would prove more cost effective, especially for RAW size files.
Only because I am looking for a free way to store pictures.
External drive may be an option but not for now
Personally, I wouldn't trust backing my files up to anyone other than myself.... long term, as Paul says, the external HD with a 2nd as backup is definitely the safest option! Probably the most cost effective too.

with all the crap that is going on in the world today anything could happen.
I can definitely see where you coming from, but call me old school in that if anything goes wrong, then at least the buck stops with me. I just prefer to sort my data storage myself!I've never really understood that view point. Do people really believe that companies, whose very existence is based entirely on their ongoing online presence don't have a backup plan of their own & leave everything unbacked up on one hard drive?

Also, as the OP Fabien had asked the question about online storage for RAW files, I would think the most cost effective solution would be to use external hard drives. Then there is the question of uploading large(ish) file and bandwidth speeds etc?
at the end of the day, it's horses for courses, but at £100 pa that equates to less than £2 per week, with no initial outlay..... sounds good to me..... not free, but cheap enough, and as you say these big companies supplying a storage service online should be geared up in case anything fails on their partThats fair enough. It costs me about £100/pa for limitless (in theory) online backup. It does depend very much on having fast internet speeds available
