Now that my phone is full of pictures of my LO, I am so freaked out that something is going to happen to my phone and I will lose all my pictures. I try to batch upload to Flickr when I think of it, but it takes forever! What do you do?

I back them up to my external hard drive and Flickr....it takes forever. I also print picture books with the Groovebook app.

I have iClouds storage from my iPad and dropbox for my phone, it automatically uploads and backsu up all the pictures from both devices. I love it and I don't have to remember anything.

Yep. I plug my phone in once a week or so and dump everything to my photos folders.

That happened to me. An app that I downloaded to encrypt my phone for work, wiped all of my pictures from my SD card. Now, I use Google + and have it automatically upload all of my pictures as I take them.

I transfer all of my photos onto my computer over once a week or so, and then onto a Shutterfly share site and a private FB album. I want to have them saved in different places because I'm paranoid about my computer dying and taking all of my photos with it.

Ours upload automatically into our dropbox account! Then all of our computers (home and both work computers) sync with dropbox so all of our photos (both phones sync to the same folder, which is fun, we get to see each others' photos) live in many different places.
I LOVE DROPBOX.

Just iCloud...but I'm so worried about the photos on my computer! I need to back them up before something happens to it.

I transfer them to my computer, and then to snapfish every few months. I need to do it now!

I transfer them to my computer and put them on an external hard drive.

I love shutterfly!
I also then try to add them to my computer as needed.
@mrs. wagon: Do you pay for extra drop box storage?
blogger / watermelon / 14218 posts
@T.H.O.U.: not yet... somehow we have finagled 15GB of free space so far through different promotions and associations! we keep running out of space since Wagon Sr. uses it for work as well, so I'm hoping his work will pay for a subscription for more space!!

I LOVE DROPBOX!!!!
I have 60 gb of free space. You can earn extra for all kinds of things, including referring friends

YES because I lost hundreds of photos (including everything from the first 6 wks of LO's life) when I updated my iphone and I hadn't backed anything up. Everything was gone and I was devastated. Now I set an alarm weekly to remind myself!

I automatically upload them to Google+, but I'm still too paranoid to delete them from my phone. I need to soon though, my phone hasn't backed up to iCloud in at least 6 weeks because it's too full!

I'm a fan of dropbox, but my storage space is so small right now unless I purchase a bigger plan.
pomelo / 5093 posts
Mine is set to automatically remove them from my phone and delete them afterwards, each time I plug it into my computer. Otherwise I'd just fill up the storage and never be able to take any more.

Nope. I always carry a "real" camera with me and never really use my phone as a camera. I also still have a shitty phone with crappy camera though

I need to do this--how do you set it up to automatically upload to any of these extra storage devices? Is it free? I know i could upload my photos to my external hard drive, but it would definitely take awhile and I'd probably set it to do it overnight

YES --- I back them up to my computer when I plug my iPhone in... I also save a lot of images to a Tumblr page online -- and I just signed up for Groovebook a couple of months ago - you select 100 pics each month & it prints them & sends you a book of the photos automatically for 2.99/month - it's awesome! now I definitely have printed pics

I put them on my computer but I need to back them up. I haven't figured out how to back up iPhoto since I got my new MacBook
admin / watermelon / 14210 posts
i download them regularly and save it to google drive, but i really need to set up dropbox to do it automatically.

Mine go to dropbox. I have 18 GB of space right now because of the dropbox space race, so no danger of running out anytime soon!
