There was even the effect of the rest of the water losing pressure. Although I've never done it, I would compare it to filling up a large pond, or even a lake, with a regular garden hose. I would check every morning to make sure it was slowly filling. This meant it would take months for all the photo to get there. I quickly found out that my upload speeds were fairly mediocre. Once I had made the decision to push half a million photos to the cloud, I made sure my Internet service provider didn't have an upload limit. The truly hilarious part is the time and effort I put in to get the photos there, only to have the whole idea poof into smoke via an Amazon press release. Not because you don't want to, but because it takes too much time that you simply don't have. You know, the "later" that never really arrives. If you don't have a solid system to prune your shots and remove fluff on the go, you end up with a monumental task of going through them later. I will be the first to admit we keep way too many photos. I'd imagine the people who were most attracted to the unlimited plan were people that simply could not afford to push their data to the cloud elsewhere. This chart probably looked great on paper, but quickly started straying from projections.
There was probably an internal chart showing the expected average user's storage needs versus Amazon's incredible array of cloud storage. I think the idea of unlimited storage is a fallacy. It also advertises unlimited photo storage. Prime Photos is offered as a perk with an Amazon Prime membership. They have also started to promoting and improving their photo-centric offerings. They are so big that when they ran into a problem earlier this year, half the Internet ceased to work. In retrospect, it may have been a big waste of time.Īmazon is huge. That is when I made the bold decision to forgo on-site storage and move to the cloud.
Money that I didn't have, especially considering we'd need a whole new NAS setup. This meant we needed to shell out a bunch of money for more hard drives to even think about storing more photos. Our 9-plus terabytes of photos were a few weddings away from out growing their 10 terabytes of storage. Last year Team Stuart was faced with a big storage problem.
