Cloud Storage
How someone can help, I'm looking to store all my RAWS in the loud, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
The reason I split my time between 2 locations, plus I travel a lot so need access to all my RAW images. Without carrying multi hard drives everywhere with me.

How much storage to you need in terms of gigabytes or indeed terabytes?

Thanks - its good to know you can buy terabytes of storage at a non too scary price - i need to migrate some Microsoft one drive files as that's way more expensive.
I take it the view that cloud storage is pretty inefficient for raw files - because download speeds are slow at 15% of upload speeds if you are lucky - it could take days or even a week to download several GB of RAW files!
5 GB hard drives as an example are relatively cheap at well under £150 and very portable.

Consider getting an SSD drive. They are credit card sized, albeit a bit thicker, and come in various capacities. Hardly a burden to carry around. And you have instant access without an internet connection.
If it's simply for stills, not video clips, you may find you don't need a particularly high capacity.
Have a look at the Samsung T5 (which I use) or T7 as a starting point. Obviously there are many other such devices.

Until there are a few more electronic disasters (eg LINK ), and then people will want more personal storage!
But if it's just for backup of backup, so to speak, it should be OK.
You must have an awful lot of image files to make it worthwhile actually paying for cloud storage.

For those subscribing to either Adobe Cloud or Microsoft Office - a decent amount of free Cloud storage is included in the subscription.
