Free online storage

[bone251]

I have a google drive with a lot of photos of..............
I would like to find another similar free storage site that I can copy all of these precious images to for safe keeping.
I don't trust google to always be there.
Any recommendations?

If it's free, why would you trust it to be there?

There are a few free places but I wouldn't trust them to be there either. As a matter of fact, I would trust google to be there a lot longer than say Photobucket.

Google free picture storage.

Dude.

Buy you an external Hard Drive and a fire proof safe.

Use it as a back up.

Also use a thumb drive.

Depending on how much space you require, Dropbox might provide a solution to your problem. It's pretty reliable and easy to use, although not traditionally the best solution for images.

Hard drives and thumb drives are easy to use and safe, but it's too easy for them to fall into the wrong hands. Or to be discovered after you croak! Best to keep your stash in the cloud where it will never be seen by your loved ones who don't need your memory tainted by finding out about your freakish kinks!

Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft One Drive are all free and easy. There used to be something called A-Drive, I don't know if it still exists. Lots of similar services are available.

I went with an email account at mail.com. It has a cloud storage and more files are easily stored in emails. Now it is just the mindless send emails and move files that will take a while. Wish I could write a macro to email all emails but that would never go well. Should be able to get it backed up before verizon changes yahoo after the merge.

I use a USB thumb drive called SanDisk SecureAccess with my desktop. Bought it at my local drug store. It encrypts the files as it stores them. I access the drive with a password. Of course, you have to choose a secure password, not easily guessable by anyone else, but that is true whatever you choose. It is what I call a GFC solution: good, fast, cheap.
