On line photo storage

How does it work, is it any good and recommendations would be welcome, would like to store digital photos safely just incase laptop dies.

I've got mine on Pisaca. It seems to work for me. The only reason I chose that one, was because my laptop came with the software on it! I'm not very geeky, so I don't know if you need to download stuff first, but once you have worked that out, it's really easy.

I can simply upload pictures to my laptop from device and they are automatially saved in my hard drive Pisaca file. When I open it, there's a button which says, 'upload to internet' and it does it within a few seconds.

You can also move them back to your laptop with a click of a button. There's face recognision on it too. It automatically takes snap shots of faces to new pictures, so you don't need to crop if you wanted a close up for example. Good for doing collages and you can e-mail single picutres to people or sent an e-mail link to one particular album.

Hope that helps a bit!

Dropbox. You download it to your computer, and it is just like another folder. You can add or delete things as easily as any other folder, but it is online so can be accessed from anywhere. You can also add people so they can view what's in the folder.

Thank you, I presume if you get another laptop then you jsut download dropbox again.

Yep you can download it onto any computer, or you can just access it online eg if you are using a public computer.
It is completely secure, we use it at work.

If you have an old hotmail account then they are/were running a promotion where you could upgrade your account from 7GB of free storage to 25GB.

This combined with the desktop app makes a great way to store photos automatically.
