Dropbox just upped the "Pro" account from 100GB to 1000GB. That's more than enough to store all the pictures you'll take in the next few decades. The benefit of something like Dropbox or its various copycats is that the file is stored on each of your computers as well as being stored in the cloud. So you really aren't putting all your eggs in one basket either locally or remotely. But you should also curate and print out some of your photos. This was discussed on HN just a couple of weeks ago: (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8129457 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8129457). The linked article (http://commandcenter.blogspot.com/2014/08/prints.html http://commandcenter.blogspot.com/2014/08/prints.html) reminds us that we're living in a "digital dark age" that's likely to leave few traces in history. Furthermore, even if your great-grandchildren could read the photo files you store today, do you really expect them to look at all of them?
