Best Cloud Photo App?

[NewbAndroidUser]

Hey all, I just need a photo cloud app/solution that'll run on Android, Mac, iPod Touch and Windows as these are the devices I use.


I use the Amazon AppStore for my app downloads for my Android tablet.


What can people recommend I use? Is there a list comparing the different services?

Edit: Are there any companies I should stay away from like companies that aren't trustworthy?

Anyone?

Depending on what phone you use (as in Android version), Google+ will back up all your photos. Aside from that, Drive, Dropbox, Skydrive, etc. They'll all work just fine.

Thanks. Which one do the people on here use?

I use a mixture of a few of these listed. But I use Dropbox to auto upload photos I take with my cell camera.

I use Google+'s Auto Backup, as it's completely automatic and I never have to worry about it not grabbing a photo. It works great if you're "in" with the Google+ ecosystem for editing and sharing photos. If you're after a more traditional cloud backup (which, for instance, syncs with a folder on your computer) and want to edit photos with a PC-based application like Photoshop, Dropbox or similar would probably make more sense.

To that end, I highly recommend FolderSync, which can set up multiple rules to sync to multiple clouds and is far more configurable than any of the official clients. Also has Tasker support for added utility. :thumbup:

Good suggestions above

I would surmise any of those listed will work just fine.
Personally I use a combo of G+ and Photobucket.
I find Photobucket convenient for linking photos to posts here. (I would think G+ could do the same, but I'm not sure---haven't explored that option)

Alright, thanks. I guess I just need to choose one.

fwiw, I found these little tidbits:

Are all of these cloud companies trustworthy by the way?

Are all of these cloud companies trustworthy by the way?

Trustworthy as in.....your photos being secure against loss? Or being viewed by others etc? Or using your photos for nefarious reasons?

I personally have not heard anything bad about box/dropbox/drive/photobucket.
But then again, I haven't gone out and searched about it.
I put somewhat very good faith in CNet reviews myself.

I need an .apk to a cloud solution because I don't have Google Play installed on my Android tablet.

Try installing the Amazon Appstore: Install Amazon Appstore

Once installed, you should be able to use that to install whatever cloud solution you want.

 

[NewbAndroidUser]

Right, I've already got the Amazon App Store installed.

I use dropbox to automatically backup stuff I've taken with my devices camera; then once a month, move everything over to my Flickr account.

In that case,

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm looking at them now.

Does anyone else have some other suggestions?

Is there something stopping you from using the several already suggested?
