My memory on my phone is almost full, mainly because I have so many pics of M on it. So where/how do you guys store photos? Do you get prints made? Photo albums? A photo hosting site (if so, which one)? I need some tips because I need to get some of these photos off my phone!

I do groovebook! It's 2.99 a month and you get a photo book with 100 photos from your phone every month. That includes shipping. Good deal! I've printed 2 books so far and have been able to use almost every picture I've taken.

I then save some of them to my Google photos and delete the rest. I'd hate to lose them but since each one is in a photo book I'm good

I order from Shutterfly and put them in photo albums.So, I have them on my computer and a lot uploaded in Shutterfly. H also has some on his computer. We talk about getting an external hard drive just to be safe, but haven’t done it.
I didn’t like the quality of Groovebook and through the book in the trash. It was three years ago, so I don’t know if it’s changed, but I imagine for the price it hasn’t.

I copy my photos to my desktop occasionally then back them up to our NAS. I really need to remove older photos from my phone once properly backed up cause I have over 7000 on there now and it is making browsing my gallery slooooow haha.
I plan on making yearly books with photos and stories but have yet to decide on how. I like the Project Life format and have a couple of digital kits already so hopefully can do something nice with that. If that proves to be too much work I will likely just get photos printed and will put them in an album the old-fashioned way. I do like digital albums but always get overwhelmed by the endless choices for layout and what not!
I post photos to a (non-public/restricted access) blog and host those pics on our own webserver but used Flickr in the and liked it. Not sure how much their service changed when they changed their site (and price plan). I would like to set up an online photoalbum of sorts where family and friends can view my photos, but again got to figure out how. Prolly will host that on our server as well but may use an online thingy.

We have an external hard drive to save photos and videos. Haven't done any photobooks or prints yet.

I also use an external hard drive. I really should make photo books though, in case something happens to the hard drive.

Was checking out this groovebook thing and it seems to be part of or owned by shutterfly (now) - so maybe the quality of the books got better? I have always heard good things aboit shutterfly.

Sad puppy face - as i had expected groovebook is not available here. I really liked the idea of monthly books. Maybe i should aet myself to work once a month to pick out ny favorites. Probably keeps it less overwhelming then thinking "i will do that one day soon" and ending up with a years worth of pics to go thru!

cali, I’m having this problem too with my phone, ugh such a pain. I transfer them to iPhoto on my Mac and also back it all up on a hard drive. I’ve done calendars for Xmas gifts in the past but have been the worst about doing photo books
