[QUOTE="dauber, post: 1418236, member: 48449"] I would never use online storage other than as a means to just transfer files back and forth and work on stuff remotely in a pinch. You can forget any rules of privacy. And if your online host is gone, so are your files. (MegaUpload, anybody? Yeah, I know you probably first think "Arrrrrr, matey!" when you hear that, but believe it or not, people WERE using it for legal reasons -- and now they can't get to their stuff.) In addition to using burnable optical media (CD or DVD -- and I'd recommend using something manufactured by Taiyo-Yuden's factory in Japan; right now, the only American distributor left who uses their discs is JVC -- everybody else uses cheapo lesser-quality stuff), I'd say make more than one copy of those CDs/DVDs of your pictures...maybe refresh them every five years.
