For the amount of storage we needed it was unaffordable. </p> <p>We use CrashPlan. It's $60/year for unlimited cloud backup. LOVE IT!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-cloud-storage#post-968835 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 10:35:57 +0000 808love 968835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Open drive sends you a hard drive so you don't have to do the initial upload online. It is $40 a year for 150 or 250 gb. I can't remember which I did right now. You can customize and set your own price. I am just trying them out this year and not how nicely iphoto cooperates so I can't fully recommend yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-cloud-storage#post-963150 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 12:58:02 +0000 sorrycharlie 963150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>following! I have an external HD that I back everything up to every few months, but in the mean time I put pictures and videos on DVDs in a giant album, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-cloud-storage#post-963137 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 12:55:31 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 963137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: do you have them backed in an external hard drive? that could be an option for the time being and it will be time consuming to transfer 8000 pics, but external hard drives can crash too. </p> <p>$99/year is $8.25/month. is it in your budget to allocate something like that? it's like one meal a month. it might be worth it for peace of mind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-cloud-storage#post-963129 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 12:53:36 +0000 matador84 963129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: i'm playing with fire...i have around 8K pictures that need backing up.</p> <p>i had a nightmare the other night my computer crashed and I lost them all! that feeling was scary enough for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-cloud-storage#post-963113 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 12:49:53 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 963113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: we use dropbox for $99/year. it's so worth it for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-cloud-storage#post-963089 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 12:47:22 +0000 cascademom 963089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my husband and I use Dropbox. We're still deciding on which cloud storage to purchase space for. My hard drive died recently, so we got a solid state one, and are debating where to store the pics in the cloud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-cloud-storage#post-963074 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 12:45:48 +0000 keiki_mama 963074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Dropbox as well.
