Elliot B. Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I have 20-25 GB of photos on my PC that I'd like to back up. I am happy for the service to resize the images in order to lower the file sizes. Is there an online service that offers this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdanster Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Google+ is great for that. I've stored around 500 non-resized images I've taken from out and about. The full size limit is the size of your Google Drive storage space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full size limit is the size of your Google Drive storage space. My limit on there is 15 GB, which isn't enough. If Google resizes them, then it'll be fine :) Tar!

Skiver Veteran Posted February 19, 2014 Veteran Share Posted February 19, 2014 Mega.nz is the only service I am aware of that is free and offers 50GB of storage. It has a desktop sync client and also mobile app to access the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryherne Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I think it is not a problem to find the appropriate cloud or online storage because you need only up to 25 GB. You can start with Google Drive, Dropbox. But if you want something serious you can try Acronis that has cloud storage and they even give 5GB free, but what I like about Acronis is that you can backup the dat you have to many places at the same time e.g. the cloud, the external disk or the USB and you can easily recover it if necessary.

From the page I linked above: Google+ PhotosPhotos bigger than 2048x2048 pixels use your storage. Everything smaller than that is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
