I'm going to attempt and start using Cloudinary (been using Flickr) and I dumped all my phone photos on to my PC last night. If and when I get cloudinary up and going, can you see your pictures in icon view or small files like Flickr or is it just file info?

Ok, so that worked and I'm uploading directly from my PC. Does that mean I don't have to transfer all my files to Cloudinary or is Cloudinary just useful as an organizing tool? Sorry if this is an often answered questions....

Dunno, but I just use Cloudinary when I need to upload a photo to the forum. I have my photos on my laptop and some external hard drives. I'm not sure I'd trust my photos only to some cloud based free app. I like to make sure I have all my photos in my possession just in case.

Sorry if this is an often answered questions.... Good job getting it up and running. Cloudinary is kind of more of a utility website than it is a fancy photo gallery. As Robin indicated I think most people just use it as a tool to get the photo uploaded to the web and posted on the forum. That being said, yes they do have an image library that will show thumbnails of everything you've uploaded. |

hummingbirdstones I'm very tentative about saving online as well. Thanks for the response.

I'm not sure I'd trust my photos only to some cloud based free app. I like to make sure I have all my photos in my possession just in case. I have some on both Cloudinary (free) and on Flickr (pro account, not free). But I keep the originals on my computer, thumb drives, and two external hard drives. So having some being in the cloud doesn't bother me. But what I absolutely HATE is when photos I have taken with my cell phone get removed from my phone without permission!!! I have had to sign on to Google, go searching for them in Drive, rescue them, then delete other photos and everything else they have pilfered. I keep changing the settings so they don't do that, but they will just change the settings back at some point. It blows me away all the permissions you have to allow some of these apps to be able to use them!! |

It's not life or death. I still don't know what I'm going to do when my phone is obsolete when 5G rolls out. Maybe I go raise some goats and build a underground greenhouse. |
