What do you do with the digital pictures that you take (and want to keep such as those of vacations, kids, loved ones, etc.)?

Do you print them all?

If you back them up? Where? What storage sites?

TIA

I store all my photos on Flickr, but they just got bought out by SmugMug. If they allow unlimited storage for a low cost, I'm going to continue with them.

I rarely print photos and I'm actually in the process of scanning all my old photos and throwing away the ones that I feel ok with only having scans of. My printed photos take up WAY too much space in the guest room and I'm afraid they'll be gone if there's a fire. The only time I print photos is if I want to use them as decorations (which isn't often). Other than that, I make a year end Shutterfly book of the best ones to keep.

Re: What do you do with digital pictures you take?

I keep all of mine on my Google Photos drive. It backs up automatically from my phone whenever I'm on a wifi connection, so I don't have to worry about forgetting about backing them up, or losing the pics.
There's unlimited storage if you use Google's pic size requirements, which most phones are below their size requirements anyway. It can either scale bigger pics down to stay on the unlimited drive area, or you can use your drive allotment to keep the original pic resolution.

I keep all on shutterfly. Their app on the phone is really easy to add pics.

Mine just get saved to my cloud. I’m so bad at remembering to print. I’m due any day now and keep saying with my next I’ll be better at printing pics more consistently after baby is here.

Print the ones I want to display, store the others in albums on Shutterfly.

One of these days I am going to go thru my Shutterfly albums and create photo books of what I want to keep, rather than print pictures and then find the time to put them into albums.

All go on computer which is backed up to external hard drive

Also all go on shutterfly

I try to make different shutterfly photo books for special occasions, trips, and an annual book.

I print some but I haven't really had time to organize.

I started printing photos since I had a baby recently. I just started her baby album. All pro photo shoots of mine and the baby’s were made into photo books.

I save all of them on Shutterfly and then print them out when they have the free print offers (like this weekend it’s free 250 prints). My goal is to put them all in albums eventually.

Re: What do you do with digital pictures you take?

They pretty much stay on my phone and facebook.
I never print photos...I have nowhere to put them and hate more clutter around the house .
I know myself, I'd never go back and look at a photo book or album - it would just sit on a shelf and collect dust

I back them up on a hard drive. I print up a pic once in a while, but I usually just keep them on my phone or PC.

Nothing. It's really sad. A few times I started making photo books but it was overwhelming picking through all the pictures and I lost interest.
