WordPress Image Storage and Backup: Drop Box, Google Photos, iCloud

Image Storage Strategies and Backup Best Practices

Backup Options and Locations

1. Dropbox

Dropbox is a storage site for all kinds of files, including images. You can create folders and upload your images to them. There is no tagging options for Dropbox currently. We recommend changing the name of your images to search for them easily.

 

2. Google Photos

Google Photos is an online service that is similar to Google Drive. You can upload your photos, videos, animations, and movies onto Google Photos and store them into albums. You are also capable of adding a single image to multiple albums for organizational purposes (See our How to add a single image to multiple albums section below). Google will auto-tag your images which you can use to find specific images (Also see our How to add your own tags section below). MLML students, staff, and faculty have unlimited storage space with Google (See G Suite for more information).

Example:

 

3. iCloud

iCloud is an iOS based cloud storage system that lets you store your photos, videos, documents, notes, contacts, and more. You can sync multiple Apple products together for easy access and automatic backup.

 

4. Other Options
