Which one??

Postby Pastor Gary » January 9th, 2009, 10:29 pm

I am about to surrender and start uploading some of my massive collection of digital photos to some kind of on-line storage for later retrieval.

I see that most have limits of a GIG or 2 storage, or monthly transfer limits. Are there some with massive storage and few limitations? Are there any that will allow folder/directory transfer instead of individual photos?

I was looking for the same thing... I just found this...

http://www.zenphoto.org/

I added it to my personal webspace and use it for everything now! I LOVE it. You can customize your gallery and everything. It will allow you to upload zip files. You can even leave them zipped for storage. You can upload your MP3s. The only restriction is that no ONE FILE can be more than 200MB. :shock:


AWESOME!

I bought the extended package for Google (Picasa). I think it was like $20 a year for 10 gig, I think. may or may not not be a good deal, but it worked for me. It is where I store my Israel-trip photos.

I was looking around for where to archive "all" my photos, but discovered it was less expensive to buy a NAS (Network attached Storage). I currently have a couple terabytes free, and they are mirrored, so no special/separate backup is needed. In fact, one died (fan blew out and it overheated) a few months back, and I didn't even realize it for a few days because everything continued to work. until i read my log files. sent it in for repair (warranty), and got it back in a week.

just a thought - a NAS can be relatively inexpensive, especially compared to paying for continuous online storage, and "bottlenecked", Internet speed access.
Thanks, Brent "RamboPreacher" Hoefling
