Online Computer Backup Services Not Right For Photos

There is a wide range of online computer backup services that backup your full computer on a regular basis and make sure that in case there is a problem with your computer, your data is safe and can be reinstated. Most of these online computer backup services like Mozy or Carbonite also backup your photos and photo folders. They don’t consider them as any different and backup photos just like their backup your DOC and PDF files. And all your data goes into the backend core backup on their servers. When you need it you can access it just like you access your computer. And you have to access and look up your photos also just like you look up your WORD or PDF files.

That is just not the right user experience for backing up photos as well as browsing or viewing them. You have no control over what to backup and what not to. You also have no way to quickly look at your photos from any device and any place. Technically you have a backup of your photos but it’s like it’s stashed in some black box that you dread opening.

Photo backups need to be such that you have full control over which photos to backup and you must be able to consume your photos anytime anywhere and on any device. That is exactly what we are enabling with PicBackMan, an all-in-one uploader specifically built for backing up photos. It allows you to automatically backup photos to one or more online photos and storage sites like Facebook, Google Photos, Flickr, SmugMug, SkyDrive / Onedrive, Dropbox or Box. Its free and you can try it by downloading below.
