I just got a new iMac. I have an external hard drive backing up everything on my computer, but am wondering if it is worthwhile to use iCloud also as a backup for my photos. Are there any known problems with iCloud, or disadvantages using iCloud as opposed to other cloud services? Thanks.
My feeling is that in the case of your photos, paranoia is a good thing. I have mine on several hard drives, one of which is always about 60 miles from my house. After evaluating the various cloud storage solutions, I got a TB on DropBox for backup and file sharing; I'll be going to 2TB soon.
