Synchronization and storage of home photos / videos in the cloud
Tell me, who keeps family photos and videos? Well, that is, I often hear stories about two hard drives, and that as well as it is inconvenient to synchronize them too. Usually I am in this place, I answer that in twenty years a hard-drive will not give signs of life, and there will be nothing to see and remember by the fireplace in retirement. Are there any stories that are safer and more convenient ?!
I somehow tried to peek at a good solution from someone on the Internet about how to store and upload files in Gdrive / s3 / dropbox, but I looked badly at the toli, tolya had some good notes. For myself, about a year ago, I chose Google-Drive - then the price seduced me, at that time it was only a short time lower than others. But in recent times, the feature from which Google creates Stories on the basis of photo collections has come out on top of the advantages. For those who are not in the know about Stories , the system collects a very simple sense of close-in creation and location of photos, something like a small slide application from photos. Generally, to be precise, in my case, the google-drive service is responsible for storing photos, google-photos is responsible for creating stories, and so google-photos has another bold plus that I discovered for myself the other day - photo folders are available in chromecast. That is, the happy owners can use the TV as a photo frame with the latest photos from their camera.
In order to easily collect photos and videos from his SLR and wrote a small python script, right here is github . Photos and videos are copied to folders like month / day , and then simply synchronized to the cloud using the standard utility. For video, the converter to avi is also used to reduce the size of the files, otherwise the native mov is almost impossible to load. I have been using these scripts for almost a year now - quite comfortably, I inserted the SD into the slot, launched the scripts, and nothing else needs to be done, the photos are sorted themselves, collected in stories, get on TB. The only “noisy” procedure is copying video, which runs with conversion and can be long on weak leptopes.
Sorry that the post has turned into Google advertising, but for now it’s the best of what happened - it would be interesting to find out if something is more comfortable. Thank.
