This defeats the purpose of cloud storage. If that card is lost, destroyed, stolen, then your data is gone. Also you need to bring it around with you and plug it into every device you use to access it, while cloud storage syncs up with everything.

Actually a great idea. I usually connect my iPhone to my Mac and transfer all my data to an external after the year ends and a wipe the phone clean. I have years and years on an external. But this is a great idea. I already have both of those on hand too.

A better idea for a real iCloud alternative would be a NAS system. It’s basically a small computer you put in your house with hard drives in it that you can access online. For something cheaper, you could just buy a cheap desktop PC and turn that into a server with some drives, and Linux.

I’m doing this right now, I’m extremely frustrated that iCloud doesn’t actually save my photos and will delete it if I delete it from my iphone! I don’t need to view my photos and videos from my mac, I just need more space! 3 dollars a month, $36 a year, each year ADDS UPP. I’m canceling my subscription, it just isn’t worth it if it won’t work as a storage solution.

When your photos are uploaded to iCloud they no longer take up space on your phone so you don't need to delete them from your phone. As long as the upload is complete, not paused, it will say on your device, phone or iPad, at the bottom of the window of photos when you swipe up to reveal this status, the photo is not taking up space on your device. iCloud is amazing, pair it with a double hard disk back up. This is the price for digital photography.

Do this for photos and videos since if phone stolen and passcode changed, you loose everything. You can contact banks & businesses, etc., but you'll never get pics and vids back.

Or just plug into a pc or Mac and manually backup the files of autosync/backup

What alternates can you use if apple changes dongle access or type of port?

If this doesn’t work you can always connect to a computer whether that be your own or at a library or any other place provided with the service…always remember to delete your files after through the recycling bin too…even though they haven’t been installed into the computer itself…the computer will recognize whatever files you’d have and “recycle” that information…some libraries and places that provide you with a computer access delete them before their closing times but it’s always good to be 83% more safe…the other 17% will be the computer still knows the file and can be recovered by certain apps

Nice tips! Considering to use laptop or this.

This is not gonna work this way. So if it’s we can use SSDs too. But what about backups?

Sounds like a great supplement to using iCloud, but maybe not a great substitute (for me). Mainly, because not only do I use iCloud storage, I have all of my devices synchronized through it, which comes in handy and in some instances, is crucial.

Better back up to PC

If my apple watch is “coverage expired” , do i need to buy a new one? Or you don’t know?

Put your photos library on an external hard drive Downside, as you have to plug it into manage photos But you’re working off-line at a limitless capacity (depending on the hd purchased Also your limited by the size based off of whether or not you want to plug-in power for the hard drive I think it’s 5 or 6 tb is where it starts Basically for 4 terabytes is plenty for probably 90 percent of photo takers

Common bro there is no competition between those two. iCloud provides much more things “hide my email”, “private relay”, “family sharing”. Also whenever you want to share some photos it automatically upload to iCloud and generate a sharable link and after few days it will expire.

They have thumb drives too with the lightning prong

I think the people that use iCloud use it for the convenience, being able to have access on any Apple device you use! I know society is going backwards and all, but the only thing I can see this being used for is if you have something personal, you don’t want no one to have access to! Then again, why would you sync it to iCloud?

Or a small usb stick works also

Thing is, I pay iCloud instead of this because it syncs ALL of my stuff through my 14 Apple Devices!

Friend … movies and files can be also taken from the iPhone to a SD card

This is hardly a substitute for iCloud.

Data only stays for 30 days on icloud if you stop paying. When you die after a month everything on your cloud is will go along with you

Just use ftp to make your phone storage your cloud and have acces from it from your pc and same with your pc storage and hsve access to it from your phone After this you don't even need airdrop You have acces to your other deviced storage just like this guy has on the sd card but wireless

I uploaded everything to my whatsaap and set it to privately. You can access every time you like so you would never ran out of storage

It seems, on my iPhone, there is no longer a way to transfer files using a sync cable.

Don’t do that, sd cards aren’t designed for long term use

The problem (At least what I’ve noticed from other devices plug into iPad and iPhone) is that you can only copy data over not cut. Because of this it is very easy to get confused what you have sent over and what you have not. So you can’t be 100% sure that you have sent over all that you want to send over and retained on the device what you want to retain. Because of this you don’t know what you can then delete from your device. The end result is you won’t be able to free up space which was the whole point. 😂😢

Can you do the same with a hard drive?

iCloud can sync it to all your devices though, and you’re potentially leaving your files or photos in the open without any form of security in the SD card, but if you really want to do it this way, at least get a descent sized SSD drive.

What about files? Documents?

If your going to do this just get a external hard drive that can actually be kept long term and store TB worth of data. You do miss out on cloud storage conveniences regardless. Best case use both HD and cloud

SD cloud 😂

I got around 1.5 tb in photos and videos and I have them on two separate external hard drives and I also have the photos on iCloud which I only pay $2.99 per month so I think I’m up to date.

I really don’t use iCloud, I am always travelling and to where I am going, internet is not always available. As a content creator, uploading and downloading files are annoying specially larger files size like videos in 4k. I really don’t want to pay extra GB of data just because I want to upload and download datas in iCloud. As a content creator, I really recommend this setup plus it is plug in play, once you’re done just transfer it to your computer easily.

I move pics and video to my mac photos, which is backed up on a time machine on my home network. No cloud!

Where can I get one

Is there one for Android phones?

They upped their prices..

Or get someone to upgrade your memory from for example 128gb to 512gb
