I guess I'm overkill then. I have two external hard drives, Carbonite and Drop box with all my photos. After about a month, I move current photos (after they have been uploaded to Carbonite and Dropbox) to one external hard drive. The other one backs up my whole Mac system. Do you think I'm covered?

I have Google Prime and just learned about the free cloud storage for photos. I will have to look up the details. However, using the cloud for your primary storage is not a good idea. Even the cloud can have problems. What I have done is set up a 5 terabyte external drive for my photo storage and I use Carbonite for cloud storage. Everything I save on the 4 terabyte drive, both photos and documents, automatically back up to Carbonite. If Carbonite ever had a problem, I have everything on my external drive, and if my external drive ever had a problem, I have everything on Carbonite. My biggest concern is having everything in one place. If I only stored on my external drive and something happened in my office (think theft, fire, etc.) I would be SOL. The way I'm set up, I can recover it all from Carbonite.
