DedupeDropbox: An Effective Tool For Creating Photo Backup
Last Updated :There is no greater panic than realizing that your system has crashed, and all your priceless photos are lost. Within seconds, all your invaluable photos can get deleted, either due to an attack by one virus or a meltdown of your system. It is because of this reason that is considered extremely necessary to create a backup of your photos. If you are looking for a way for creating backup of your photos so that you have an extra copy stored some place other than your system, then Dropbox is the perfect solution for you. It is an online storage facility that helps you in creating a back-up of all your photos in one place so that they may remain safe in case of an emergency (crashing of hard drive, accidental deletion, and virus). Consider it as an imaginary box where you are dropping all your photos and images for future use as well as for protecting them from any harm.
Getting started with it:
Dropbox is a cloud storage facility that provides you the capability of storing as much as 18 GB of data. Initially, you get 2 GB of storage space for free; then you can gain an additional 500 MB for referring any of your friends to use it. It can go up to 16 GB. In addition to this Dropbox also provides its users the option of paid solutions which start from 100 GB and go up to 500 GB at monthly rates. You can easily create a back-up of your photos just by following the steps given below:
- For getting started with it, first of all you need to create a Dropbox account. For doing this just visit their website and sign up for an account. As told earlier you can select either the free or the paid version.
- After successfully creating your account, just login to your account. When you would login for the first time, the site will automatically prompt you to download the software.
- Thereafter, the launch the software by clicking on the program icon. A simple looking window will open up in front of you.
- Now you just need to drag the folders containing the photos from their respective locations into the Dropbox window. This would create a copy of these photos in the cloud on the net.
- Alternately there is also an option for directly uploading the folders to net instead of dragging them. Just locate the upload icon and click on it. It will open a pop-up menu. Just browse and locate the folder from where you want to upload the photos. Select the photos that you wish to upload and click OK.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug!
Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Jim Griffin It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.
Dary MerckensI have thousands of family photos and it's always been such a pain to upload them to various cloud services for offline storage. Well not anymore! PicBackMan makes backing everything up a complete breeze. I don't know how I ever lived without it!
Glen MartineauI was poking around the Internet looking for an easy tool to help me consolidate 15 years of my pictures from Google Photos and Flickr etc - this tool was very easy to use and was painless to setup.
