Trying to upload these to a cloud would take a very long time. no it wouldn't. 4-6gb would take less than 10 minutes to upload at 100mbit, which is considered slow these days. for 10mbit, it would be a little more than an hour. |

[] The idea behind cloud storage is that your files can be synced with and accessed by multiple devices. Also, it adds productivity to an environment where multiple people are working collaboratively on a project. There are other benefits, if used wisely. However, I see few (if any) good reasons to put all of one's files on a cloud server. Isn't that just what happens with a Chromebook, though? -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

In photography you are dealing with large files with sizes ( 10MB), which take long to download unless the connection is very fast. And in most cases it's not multiple people working on a bunch of photos. Usually it's a photographer processing hundreds of images with a total size of several GB. In photography you are either dealing with the needs of the pro or those of an amateur. It is not unusual for pros to have to deal with large files from numerous locations or by using a number of devices. Pros are not likely to drag a desktop computer to a client's location to discuss the images for their project, for example. Cloud storage meets that kind of need in more efficient ways. And, don't overlook the fact that "cloud storage" is just marketing-jargon for "internet-connected server", something that pros have used for decades to achieve the capabilities I originally listed, above. -- best regards, Neil |

Cloud storage meets that kind of need in more efficient ways. true, but that's only part of the problem. And, don't overlook the fact that "cloud storage" is just marketing-jargon for "internet-connected server", actually, it's much more than that. something that pros have used for decades to achieve the capabilities I originally listed, above. not with large files, they haven't. only recently has internet access become widely available and fast enough to where that was viable. |

That's why Adobe has Smart Previews to move previews, which give the appearance on a display of being high-resolution originals. And, don't overlook the fact that "cloud storage" is just marketing-jargon for "internet-connected server", something that pros have used for decades to achieve the capabilities I originally listed, above. Bingo again. The government agency that I worked for began using these all over the world in the late 70's or early 80's. We called them by the dull, unmarketable name "remote servers." -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

Not a problem, since people have different needs. However, I don't trust Google enough to rely solely on their services to maintain my files. -- best regards, Neil |
