Hello! I've decided to create a 'brag book' for the grandparents this year. It'll show my kiddos from birth till now. I just discovered that some pics of my now 5 yo can't be viewed anymore on my thumb drive. How do you store the older digital pics of your kids? My husband is thinking on a CD, but what has worked for you?
Thanks Moms! I have so many of my kids as I rarely delete any.
Best wishes for a happy holiday season.
I have everything stored on my home computer, and backed up on kodakgallery.com. I've also used snapfish. I like both of these, and this way if a home computer goes caput I don't lose any pics.
CD or upload to shutterfly
External hard drive and you could even use an online site for photo storage... I have a lot online, but i rely on the external hard drive that is hooked up to my computer...Its has a TON of storage.. 2 tigabits or something like that,lol
I have a big huge storage box, filled with pictures. It has not worked for me, lol. This winter, my goal is to make photo books with them all. Hope I can get it done. Happy Holidays to you too!!
CD's don't last forever either. If an external HD goes out, you will pay up the kazoo to try to retrieve them. Your best option is to print them.
I have several of them (like the first 3 years) on cd's that I keep in a cd book. The rest are stored on the SD cards. On black friday I bought 4 8gig disks and 2 are already full on top of what we had already saved.
I LOVE my pictures. I'm the crazy picture lady. I wore out my camera's pixels in less than 2 years. (It was a Nikon.)
I download them on my computer, back up my external hard-drive, up- load them sometimes to snapfish (better paper quality than most of local places for the cost), and print them. I scrap the pictures that are the cutest, give copies to family that are the cutest, and put the rest in photo boxes by month (put in envelopes).
