    @ Teacher's Tech, Thanks for the Google Drive tips and I have a question but a little history first. I am preparing us for transition to retirement [is that tautology???] and have read many decluttering books and blogs, including, just recently, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning in which the author states starting to downsize, I prefer to say rightsize, in our sixties. I have uncluttered many of our possessions and papers and now I am onto digital, photos and sentimental. I have decided to transfer what I choose to keep to Google drive so I can access it when we travel. I currently have pre-internet physical photo albums, pre-Mac photos on Picassa and with a crashed external hard drive backup for my photos...it's a mess in there and I hope 'they' can recover my photos at least but I will just call it an involuntary declutter, grieve and move on if they can't...I now have Mac iPhotos/Photos for my most recent photos, and iTunes for my music. My question...I am currently using 2 of my free 15GB. I know I know how long is a piece of string but I still ask, will 15 GB be enough online storage for an aspirational minimalist wishing to live a simple life. *I am Australian and I say 'zed' too... *And peanut paste not peanut butter even though the manufacturers have changed/keep changing our labels...biscuits = cookies...nappies = diapers...ute = truck or 4X4...thongs = flip flops...entree = starters or appetisers...mains = entree...and so on and so forth... Keep up the good work...and thanks again.

    US$20 per year will get you 100 GB of storage space. That should be more than enough to store your photographs. (or US$100/year for 1 TB of space) But I wouldn't do the upgrade until you are close to your limit.
