(+) My Favorite Way to Easily Save Cell Phone Photos

8 Mar 2024 5:44 PM | Anonymous

The following is a Plus Edition article written by and copyright by Dick Eastman. 

I have more than 3,000 photos and videos stored in my cell phone. That includes pictures of my grandchildren, photos from genealogy conferences, images of old documents found in various archives, recipes that I "photo-copied" from magazines, bills, receipts, and even a few billboards I enjoyed and decided to save.

Of course, I want to copy all of these items to one or more cloud-based services as well as to my own computers for long-term storage and preservation. Over the past year or two, I have experimented with programs that copy photos from a cell phone to Amazon Cloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, Copy.com\, and several other services. 

All of them worked although some worked better than others. However, I always felt in the throes of chaos with this hodge-podge of different products to copy the photos (and sometimes other files) to a variety of online services. Some programs transferred everything while one or two other products would only transfer pictures but not videos. Most of the programs either worked with only one online file storage service or would only copy files to my desktop computer. 

I recently found one inexpensive program that copies photos to almost all of the popular cloud-based storage services, including iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows PC, Mac, Linux, NAS, cloud services & more. Even better, it offers native apps for iOS (iPhone, iPad), Android, Windows PC and Macintosh as well as Linux.

It will copy photos and videos to any Windows or Macintosh desktop or laptop computer and will even copy the same images and videos to other cell phones and tablet computers. In short, it will store photos and videos in the cloud or in local computer(s) or in other cell phones and tablet computers or in all of the above. Your choice. It seems to be an excellent method of keeping all your photos and videos wherever you want to keep them.
