DedupeWays to Get Your Photos Backed-Up Online
Last Updated :Backing up your photos online is one of the safest ways to make sure you do not lose your precious clicks. We all like to take photos and keep our moment alive, but what if we find out that our hard drive or memory card has crashed and all the data has been lost? Storing your photos online is the safest way to ensure that you do not lose your photos. Online photo backup services are paid as well as free as per your needs. Data storage on cloud is the quickest means for data recovery.
The requirements for deciding the best online backup are listed below.
- Storage Size - More free storage is obviously better.
- Synchronization - Documents and files created or changed need to automatically be uploaded to the “Cloud.”
- Reliability of the Site - Customer satisfaction can make a site reliable or unreliable.
- Security - It should be assumed that security is minimal for the free sites. Your files are encrypted before they are uploaded.
- Ease of Use -The back-up option should be menu driven and easy to understand when selecting the files and folders to be backed up.
There are a number of products that can be used for online data storage and backup. Here are some trustworthy recommendations:
- iDrive - The service has 5 GB of free storage and meets long term reliability requirement.
- Google drive - Google drive has 15 GB of storage.
- One drive (skydrive) - It provide 7 GB for new subscribers and 25 GB of storage to old subscribers.
- Spideroak - It provides the user with end-to-end encryption. If you have private documents that should only be accessed by you, then this is the service for you.
- Dropbox - It offers 2 GB free storage to start while multiple paid options are also available. Dropbox offers automatic file syncing between the PC and the cloud.
There are many other options available for online photo backup, but these were the top five sites amongst them.

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.
