My problem is the enormous amount of disk space my photos take. Hundreds of GBs. Now you say trovebox supports dropbox, but that doesn't really solve my problem since dropbox just keeps everything on my local hard disk as well.
Is it possible to set this up so that I don't have to take up hundreds of gbs on every device I own?
I also don't see any option for importing iphoto libraries. What if I want to preserve the tagging/album information I have there?
- jmathai 13y agoWe provide storage which is included in the free/Pro accounts. I don't use Dropbox for the same reason as you. Instead I use my own S3 bucket. Dropbox is the only storage option that will sync the files back to your computer (though I believe you can choose not to have our folder "synced" using selective sync). We don't have an iPhoto plugin yet but if you add tags to your photo then they should be preserved when you upload (we extract EXIF).
- TheZenPsycho 13y agosadly iphoto doesn't touch the exif data. It's stored in a seperate (undocumented) sqlite database.
- isamuel 13y agoWhich is a real scandal, by the way. It's utterly surreal that a file format with some of the most well-documented metadata on the planet is organized into libraries that begin by creating an entirely new, entirely redundant library of metadata on top.
