I saved all of the photos to my hard drive, and then uploaded them into Dropbox in appropriately labeled folders. I have years of photos in my Dropbox, so I can always browse it for what I need.įor my wedding last year, I was given digital copies through Google Drive. Sometimes I end up forgetting to upload my photos for a few days, but I try to launch Dropbox at least once a day so my photos automatically upload to my 2TB Dropbox Plus account. My permanent photo backup solution, which I use as a failsafe in case something goes wrong with Photo Stream, is Dropbox. Photo Stream lets me access my photos from the last 30 days, which is fine for me. I like Photo Stream because it's automatic and fairly seamless, and I use this over iCloud Photos because I still have albums on my iPhone that were synced from my Mac, and I don't want to remove those.
Currently, I use a combination of Dropbox and iCloud Photo Stream for keeping backups of my iPhone photos on my Macs.
