The nice thing about Prime Photos is that the entire family can upload their photos. We did this when we went to Europe last year. If one of us missed a picture we wanted or someone else had a better one, we all have it now.

There’s a (free) Prime Photos app you can put on your phone that will upload all new photos every time you get to wifi (e.g., home). I think there is a video limit; I haven’t really looked into what the limit is or what the cost is to add more video capacity. In theory you can also easily order prints and create photo books from the Prime storage, too, though I haven’t spent time learning what that involves, pricing, etc.

Easy sorting/sharing/favoriting. Printing is a cinch. Total peace of mind. Zero effort.

It backs up all my photos and videos automagically and also everything else on my phone and computer. I pay $3 a month for a fairly large chunk of data and it’s worth every penny. If anything happens to my phone or computer, I just have to log in on a new one and download, and it’s all there. Highly recommend this or any of the other similar services (Amazon, google, etc).

And very timely since working on pictures is on my to-do list for the weekend.

With a pixel you also get unlimited storage via Google photo. Backing up photos something I’ve permanently deleted from my to-do list as a result. Google Photo app (available on all types of phones) also creates albums and slideshows automatically for you and are stunningly good. I mostly change just a few photos, slap on a title, and people think I’m superwoman. 😉

If you have a gmail account on your phone, you can link with Google Photos. It automatically backs up everything – photos and videos. Once you go over a certain amount, there is a storage fee, but otherwise it is free! (I takes TONS of pictures and still have lots of space).

I do take tons of pictures, but really need to start taking more videos. I want to be able to watch those everyday moments – like silly conversations with the almost-three-year-old.
