Photo Management / Storage

[Alex2614]

Thank you everyone for your suggestions! Keep em coming!

I will say though that a number of people suggested personal cloud storage devices. While they are great, we are not allowed to have them. We are not allowed to have anything that broadcasts (we get away with the robots because it is only on for brief periods of time). I personally have a time capsule at home and it is wonderful! But, We aren't even allowed to have a wireless printer, even if it is connected to WVU's wireless network. We are a community (non-school) team and we meet on the campus of WVU. WVU is very overprotective and weird with stuff like that.

I'm also finding increasingly that people are using phones to capture stuff. And I'll be the first to admit I rarely give photos to the team because it is such a hassle.

Most phones have auto backup to cloud and from there share.

What do you mean by "broadcast"? You seem to be equating cloud storage with wireless networking. That's not the case.

We use Flickr completely to back up our photos and videos. Only issue we've run into is videos being too large, but I usually throw them into an editor and cut them apart. I'm not too worried about losing anything on Flickr and we're happy with it as our primary backup. It's also really handy for when people ask us for photos of the team, we can link them our Flickr and let them choose. Flickr also lets you apply tags and stuff which is handy.
