What do y’all do with all your photos once your phone / iCloud is full….?

I used to just move them all to an external hard drive, but then I don’t have access to them, but also technically backing them up to once place means that could still fail and it’s best to backup to multiple places

@mikaelacaron I keep all photos more than a calendar year old on a NAS drive that I can access from anywhere. Lets me still access my photos without eating up iCloud Storage.

I prefer to review and sort in Lightroom Mobile which also makes it easier to export on my Mac to move to the NAS drive.

@harrisonheinig which NAS do you use? And how do you access those photos regularly?

@mikaelacaron I have used Synology for quite some time without any issues.

They have a service called Synology Photo that allows you to connect to the drives and view the photos that is pretty good. At times it can be a bit slow but that has more to do with my network provider than anything.

I have also heard good things about QNAP and Photo Station but I haven’t tried it.
