Scanning your photos is only the first step. Once restored and digitised, they need to be safely stored so they’re never lost again. Here’s a simple guide to choosing the right place to keep them safe.
Photos hold irreplaceable value. Fire, water, or tech failure can erase them in moments. That’s why choosing a reliable storage method is just as important as the scan itself.
Popular cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and iCloud offer easy access and automatic backups. They’re great for sharing with family and accessing from any device.
A well-labelled external hard drive stored in a fireproof, waterproof home safe is a smart second layer of backup. Just make sure it’s updated and stored in stable conditions.
The best protection is a combination. Keep a copy in the cloud and one in a safe physical location. Use folders, dates and names to keep your digital archive organised.
