In keeping with our look at popular cloud backup services today we’re going to take a look at: Dropbox. If you need a primer on backups in general start here.
Free Storage Option: 2GB
Paid Storage Option/Annual Cost: 1TB / $129-$279 per year depending on the tools you need.
Compression: No
JPG Support: Yes
TIFF Support: Yes
RAW Support: Yes
Device Support: Don’t worry about it. It’ll work on your stuff.
Ease of Backup: Automated
Ease of Restoring: Automated
Other Benefits: Good for backing up just about anything.
Privacy: Great!
Licensing: Users retain licensing rights and ownership of their photos and files. (Yay!!)
Just wish that the pricing/storage options for this service were more competitive with other options we’ve looked at. 1TB for $129/year is not much if you wish to backup RAW files.
Next week, we’ll take a closer look at iCloud.
