how do you backup your photos when the phone gets full. I dont have a mac and the process is excruciating. Also the formats get messed up so some photos become unusable. I stopped taking 'live' photos because of this.
- Lucasoato 24d agoThere’s this MacOS native application called Image Capture, use it to backup 100GB of photos. I then partitioned the photo by year and 7zipped them with encryption.
- dylan604 24d agoYou missed the salient details: "I dont have a mac" Everything you stated to is useless to the person you replied.
- edgarvaldes 24d agoMaybe he interpreted the "how do you backup" as a particular question directed to him, not a general one.
- intrasight 24d agoIs handled by Synology DS File app. Is what I've done for 6 years. I don't send photos to iCloud.
- ValentineC 23d agoNot the parent, but Google Photos has been decent as a secondary backup. They even backup Live Photos now. The two formats I've found that they don't back up accurately are rotated photos (if one's a stickler for "originals") and cropped screenshots (JPEG instead of PNG). Possibly the sidecar files for edits too.
- sampullman 23d agoRotation data isn't included in the file, or it just doesn't display with the correct orientation? Sometimes Google photos shows the wrong orientation for my pixel photos/videos but it's just a display issue.
