I often travel with a Macbook Air because it is small, light, and I can fit it in my camera bag. The downside of my computer is that it has such a small storage capacity. I discovered something today that concerns me. When you upload images from iPhoto to Flickr, you evidently cannot delete the images from your computer or the online images will also be deleted. I am not certain I understand the logic of this connection but Apple says it is true. I hope I have always read the fine print, but now I am concerned.
I understand the importance of a backup and the understanding that online storage alone does not count as a backup. My strategy is to upload twice – once to Flickr and once to Trovebox. Why must I also keep my collection of photos on one of my computers?
