Like so many others I have a LOT of digital photos. Somewhere around 782GB and 158,738 files.
The difficult part is that they are not all stored on my computer. If they were I could use Apple Photos or even better Picasa from Google. Both are really good photo management tools, Picasa being superior, but they are of no use if you don’t keep everything on your computer. I have a Synology Diskstation set up that allows me to back all my photos up and sync with a cloud storage tool, in my case Dropbox.
This article by Adam Dachis on LifeHacker convinced me to not use any of the tools but just use Dropbox. I’ve set it up now, and while it does take some effort to go through the past photos, the monthly backups are quite easy.
Give it a try if you have a lot of photos that are not simply on your computer.
