This way, I am confident that I have copies of everything safely stored even if cloud services get nuked for some reason. + +I will then curate and handpick my favorite items for significant moments (e.g., travels, events, parties), and create albums for them. These are the memories that matter to me; the ones I’d likely want to come back to and remember. Doing this reminds me of those family photo albums we used to keep around growing up. + +These special albums are what I will then sync across devices using a cloud service. I use iCloud Photos (for now). + +The idea is to be more intentional with the photos & videos I intend to keep close and share to friends & family. + +So, that’s my plan: back up, sort, and organize. It’s a bit of work upfront, but in the end, it’s worth it. + +Feel free to use this approach if your photo library could use a bit of intentional organization. Cheers! 🍻 +
