Where do you store your lighting-related photos and other content for LG? « on: February 28, 2021, 09:42:26 PM » Author: HPS_250
Kind of a random question, but I’m wondering where other members store their photos and other lighting-related content. Do you use a cloud service (for example iCloud or Google Drive), an external hard drive, a computer/tablet, or something else? Or do you simply upload photos to LG and then delete the original copy? I’m currently using a 2 TB external hard drive for storage of all of my data, including every lighting photo that has been uploaded here as well as some I have not uploaded.

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

Sounds like a good solution for now. I currently only have an iPad (with 256GB storage) so I needed an external hard drive for most photos.

So far they are stored on my laptop but I'll put them up eventually on a server that I saved as it has been victim of Wannacry so a new HDD will get that sorted nicely!

I store my pictures and videos in general, including lighting in my laptop, and from past years in a laptop 500GB HDD hard drive, which I mounted in a hard disk case with USB 2.0. I also have some savings on DVD disks.

I'd never use cloud storing services like Google Drive or dropbox, there's no guarantee that the data could get lost or if they're selling your data for advertising.

Most of mine are stored on my desktop computer which has 4TB storage with a full local backup and online backup for the important files. If you're really paranoid about cloud backups providers snooping on your data, there's always the option to use a open source or other tool to encrypt the images before uploading.
