Cloud storage

Where you store or share images online as well as or instead of storing them on your computer. Cloud storage offers the advantage that your images are accessible everywhere as long as you have an Internet connection, though displaying and downloading images is of course slower than opening them on a hard drive, and uploading images in the first place is slower still. Examples include Apple iCloud, Dropbox and Google Drive.

March 6, 2022 by Life after Photoshop

For mobile users and content creators it’s a clever and effective proposition, but for regular photographers, while its editing tools continue to impress, its restrictions, the closed nature of its editing ecosystem and its cost remain a major barrier.

August 7, 2020 by Rod Lawton

Sharing our portfolio online is easy, and there are plenty of file sharing sites to make our photos accessible to you and others online.
