Every time our phones reach capacity, I download all pics/video to my laptop. Then I plug in a portable SSD and copy them there in folder name "media until <current date>". When I get to work next, I copy them to an identical portable SSD stored there, at which point I free the space on my laptop. This whole process happens about 3-4 times per year. I'm currently using returned/refurbished Samsung T5's at about $100/TB.

I do this, alongside a tool for finding duplicate files: https://github.com/adrianlopezroche/fdupes https://github.com/adrianlopezroche/fdupes.

  Thank you. I'm also looking for a tool which will find when one file contains a scaled image in another file, or is a crop of another.

  I use Czkawka recently for dupes (it has GUI and well-maintained): https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka
