I'm finding that I'm taking too many pictures with my 256GB iPhone and the free storage service don't do it justice.
c1pher wroteWhat's the price?I decided to do a family plan that gives me 200GB vs 50GB. The next step up is 2TB. I think the pricing is ludicrous though. And they know it.
I still use the Apple Cloud to synchronize applications across my devices and contacts.
I believe google also offers offers free photo storage for all devices but not at full res. Better than nothing.
iCloud does make it easy on iOS though.
I currently pay $2.99 for 50GB but I really need to step up to 2TB plan for $9.99 to back up photos and music.
Looking at the new Apple One to see what makes the most sense, but a new iPhone w/1 year of free Apple TV+ doesn't help the numbers.
Do dump on my imac of photos (save and delete). Then i might add some back if i want them on my phone.
Then i upload the good photos to google photos which allows unlimited space for free. You just have to not link it to your device to keep it free. So a couple additional steps but it ends up being free unlimited photo cloud storage.
If you have Amazon Prime, one of the most overlooked benefits that they offer is unlimited photo storage. I use it as a backup for all my photos, in case something happens with my local NAS copy at home. I also pay to run a personal Piwigo server on Amazon AWS, where all of my important photos and meme collection is stored.....
GenXer wroteCan confirm, 200GB working best with other devices and share with family, also usefull is backup of device that you can restotre.I had to upgrade to the 200gb $2.99 a month. I really love the convenience of sharing and viewing all of my family pictures in all of our devices. Seeing how I have 2 iMacs, 2 Macbooks, 3 iPads, 3 iPhones and 2 Apple TVs
Everyones phones and photos are backed up which saves me the headache of panicked phone calls about lost data and other shenanigans.
It's easy to update to the next tier whenever you need, so just start with what will work for you now and upgrade if you need to later.
