gawguy Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I have a lot of photos (not sexy) that I want to keep in folders on line - "in the cloud" as we now say. I want to be able to access them from any of my PC's but I don't want them in a local folder. I have dropbox, but dropbox works out of a local folder. I've been looking at google drive, same thing. -- Unless there is some way to use these without downloading the files into a local folder before you can look at them. I know there are lots of photo storage websites.. maybe I should be thinking of using one of them. I have about 1gb of photos I would like to store. What are your suggestions for the best options? Thanks, Gaw Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom Michael Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Are you sure that Google Drive is in a local folder? Unplug your internet cable and see if you can see the files in your local drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gawguy Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Are you sure that Google Drive is in a local folder? Unplug your internet cable and see if you can see the files in your local drive. I'm unplugged and I restarted the computer just to be sure. Google drive is a folder in My Documents. I've also checked out the photo storage / sharing sites and they don't have enough capacity unless you pay. Nothing seems to be exactly what I was looking for so I might just try some options and settle for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyinEwa/Perv Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 If all else fails, and I know it would be some work but could you email all the pics to yourself??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baa99 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 You can backup to the cloud. Make a Share Folder that contains the photos. Then you can access that folder from your other computers on the LAN. Do you need to access hi-res photos from other PCs? If not, compress the photos so they'll fit on a photo sharing site.

baa99 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Check out this vid on google drive, It looks like you can access the files on google drive via a browser on the other computers. Is that sufficient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseafan Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 why not use something like rapidshare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gawguy Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks for all the input fellows. The email to yourself thing is far too cumbersome, but I'll be checking out other suggestions. GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
