Re: [apple-iphone] Re: photos

The OP wants to store them on a device they control, not on someone else's server, and to each their own decision.

Besides that many if these storage services have you give up the rights to the images, there is one other possible problem.

Years ago, there was a storage service based in, I believe, southeast Canada, that I had used as a primary place to store digital images. I don't remember the name. But one night, they folded their tent and stole off into the night. No warning, no indication, they just vanished.

One one list I was on, a member happened to live by their location, and so they went by a day or two later. They looked in the windows and saw evidence of a hasty removal of the servers and other expensive hardware and the rest in shambles. There was a note on the entrance saying good bye.

They fled in the middle of the night to avoid creditors, taking the servers and photos with them, never to be seen again. The images for hundreds of thousands of user were gone in the blink of an eye.

If you have a Mac, you can import the photos from the iPhone to the Mac using the Photos app. Once in the Mac I believe you can use File, Export Photos from the Photos app to copy them where you want them such as to a Thumb Drive.

However you get the files on the Thumb Drive, do you plan to delete them from the iPhone and the Mac (or PC)? If so the Thumb Drive will be the only place with the photos. These portable drives are easy to lose and are not intended for long term storage without a backup..

However you store your photos I suggest you consider Google Photos which will store an unlimited number of photos up to 16 MP for free. Pictures greater than 16 MP will be downsized. You can download a Google Photos app onto your iPhone and after setting it up, it will automatically copy your photos to Google Photos.

Amazon Photos allows unlimited photo storage for free for Amazon Prime members. I do not believe there are MP limitations. There is an Amazon Photos app that works like the Google Photos app.

I use both for the security of having 2 automatic backups of all the photos on my iPhone.
