Photographs are one of the most prized possessions and they are a way to keep your old memories alive. These treasured memories stored in photo slides or negatives are prone to deterioration over the years. They are likely to be stored in closets, attics, basements or storage lockers and over time the photographs can get damaged. However, document scanning services can help in photo restoration and store the photographs in digital format. Converting your slides to digital images allows you to safeguard the old photographs using modern technology.

This is the age of digitization and advanced technology and today we have digital photos, digital cameras, DSLR etc. Although there are some photographers who still prefer capturing photographs in analog format, most of them now own digital cameras or smart phones that let you capture digital photos. With huge volumes of digital photos, sometimes people find it difficult to store these digital photos in their devices. Large volumes of photos can be stored in cloud storage system and it ensures safety of the photographs too.

Uploading Photos into a Cloud Storage System Photographs and videos taken using a smartphone can be stored in the cloud easily. If you are an Android or iOS user, there are many apps and built-in features in these systems to upload videos or photographs. Apple users have iCloud Photo Library to store your photographs and videos. If you own a Windows Phone, for instance, your images can be automatically synced to your Microsoft SkyDrive. Apart from these apps, there are a few more options like Google Photos, Dropbox, OneDrive and Flickr. You can also store photos in Facebook but it doesn’t support automatic uploading of photos and videos.

Uploading photographs from a digital camera into the cloud is slightly different. The photos taken using SLR are of huge volume. As the resolution increases, the volume also increases. If you have a high-speed Internet connection that isn’t metered, then you can just drop all the files into one of your cloud synced folders and everything will be uploaded. If you are in the Apple ecosystem, you will need to use the Photos app in OS X to import the media into your iCloud Photo Library. To store raw and super high definition photos you can use external or network storage that is attached locally.
