Where would you upload LOTS of photos for backup and for free?

Question

I've got around 20GB of photos and would like to make a backup. I've saved them in DVDs, in external hard disks, in my computers... But I just don't feel secure.

Is there any other way? How about the internet?

Answer 1

open a g-mail account. it used to have over 2 gigs of storage but a lot more now. i use it to save my customer's files when doing computer repairs.
it's free and no limit to how many accounts you have.

Answer 2

Flickr.
But why do u need to upload so much photos?
It's better to save those in your HD and password protecting your BIOS,its the most secure as online backup has no gurantee of secure,can be cracked,hacked now and then..

Answer 3

Try Multiply. They allow you to save photos in photo albums, blog, network and even set up an online business.

Answer 4

Save them to ONE hard drive and disconnect it from your pc when not in use. The internet is the last place to store personal files.

Answer 5

I use Picasa 2 which is a free download from google. Great to fix up pics. Back up on discs. Once you download is quick.

Answer 6

I think you have done enough already. I have archived many cds and as long as you keep them from overheating they will be alright. If you are still jittery you can keep your archived dvd's in a safe deposit box in the bank !

Answer 7

I use Windows Live Skydrive

Answer 8

you can use www.photobucket.com -- you can make it a public or private account, whichever you like. i think flckr.com might have free accounts, too.

otherwise do a search on FREE INTERNET STORAGE

good luck.
