What cloud storage services do you guys use? I recently switched from Dropbox to Google Drive and found a way to transfer the files directly with MS Teams. I was avoiding having to download everything from Dropbox and re-uploading everything again, so this was a cool way to bypass that step. I made a video talking about it to... in case anybody is contemplating switching services down the road...


I use Dropbox. My clients have had the least amount of trouble accessing and downloading their content from there. With google drive I’ve had issues with clients not being able to access all their content. It boils down to which ever platform is the most dummy proof. Syncing everything with my desktop is huge too

How much are you paying for it?

I had a business plan with Dropbox and it was 45 a month ($15) for 3 user licenses. We only needed 2 tho, so it was a lil on the expensive side. With Google Drive, it's 24 a month and it's unlimited storage, so we made the switch.

I hear you on the access tip, I'm familiar with Drive and it can be silly, I'll keep an eye on that for sure.

I pay like 20 a month. Me and my business partner just share the same log on. I think we have 1TB. You can also embed the Dropbox links in gmail now so it’s crazy simple even for the most non tech savvy clients

:whew: its been real. I think i'm done with the commercial side of photography. just gonna do fineart and street.

:salute: all of you brehs in here over the years.

I'm seeing a lot of the same across the board, a lot of photographers, models, and makeup artists are calling it a wrap with anything that has to do with people. Hopefully you pop in every once and awhile with some samples. Glad to this thread is still going with our creative members behind the lens.

:salute:

Hope you fellow photogs been doing okay, I've been venturing out into the city staying away from people and shooting when I can. Been making use of the Lens Correction feature in photoshop and vertical adjustments to get the perspective correct since wide angles changes them a bit. Thinking about buying one of Canon's Tilt & Shift lenses down the road.
