Looking to upload around 40GB of photos. Anyone recommend somewhere good? Looking for original size or high quality and low cost. TIA.

    Google photos, Get them loaded now and they won't count toward the totals when they change to a 15GB limit on the 1st June. You can expand that after then with a subscription if you need even more space.

    Yes Google photos but in original quality not high quality, if you think that is wholly necessary. 'Original Quality' 15Gb limit pertains now. Still google is inexpensive at £1.59 a month for 100GB

    Unless you are planning on zooming your photo's to ridiculous levels then High quality is fine. However if you are into blowing up your photos to really large sizes, maybe not..
    Old, but, good article here;- Google Photos "High quality" vs "Original" - PhoneArena

    Some alternatives here:- Best Google Photos alternatives in 2021 | TechRadar
    One Drive  is another alternative at £1.99pm for 100GB

    I did that and it died. Tried a NAS in RAID, the NAS died. I think online may be better!

    Do you want a service to just store files in the cloud or do you want one that will let you look at your stored files?
    If it is the first one then you don't need a photo specific service.  I use Backblaze to backup my files online.  It is a backup only service, no viewing.

    If you have Amazon Prime, then they offer unlimited photo storage in Amazon photos

    Indeed although only for personal and not professional / commercial use.

    The interface is basic to say the least but it copes reasonably well with RAW formats (certainly Canon and Sony that I use) as well as jpg etc.
