Or if you use Dropbox and don’t want to spend time “processing” your images, turning on ‘ Camera uploads’ could be for you. First a disclaimer: my method is not for everyone! You might be happy to pay for Apple iCloud and let it backup automagically.

The instructions are skewed towards an iPhone/Mac combo but sentiment could be applied elsewhere. So this is it: how I use Dropbox for iPhone photo storage and backup, AKA iPhone (camera roll) zero. I find the empty iPhone camera roll obscenely satisfying, knowing that nothing is piling up in there. I use the ‘Make available offline’ feature for any images I still want to be able to see on my phone, which just means going into the Dropbox app to see them, instead of the camera roll. Once in Dropbox, they’re backed up and I can access from any of my devices (laptop, phone, iPad, or a web browser on someone else’s computer).

This scenario works for me, as I like to sort, ditch and organise my photos while in the process of manually moving them off the phone and into Dropbox. 📦 Choose to pay for a cloud hosting service like Dropbox, rather than Apple iCloud.💻 Have a laptop or other computer and.📱 Don’t want to use your phone as a photo storage device.📸 Take a lot of photos on your iPhone.I’m wary this is a niche topic, applicable if you: This is how I process my photos, on a weekly-ish basis, from my iPhone into Dropbox. For those of us with an iPhone who take a lot of photos (cough, like me, cough), it’s an eternal battle for phone storage space.
