I'm interested to hear what everyone's process is for storing and backing up the photos they take.
I take some cave photos on my phone, and some on a cave camera, and then I manually stick them all on an external drive from time to time, which I clone as a backup. This makes it quite hard to look back through photos though, which means I just don't do it, whereas I really enjoy flicking through the old photos on my phone. It also makes it much harder to share photos after a trip.
I've considered a cloud provider like Google or iCloud for keeping my photos stored and easily accessible, but this has an associated cost, and to be honest I don't really understand all the edge cases. How does it handle having more photos than the device I'm syncing it with has room for? Is it possible for me to keep a (ideally semi-automated) back up of it myself?
So what is everyone else doing for managing, storing, and backing up their photos?
