So, you’ve taken tons of photos from your iPhone. Now, what happens if your iPhone takes a dip in a pool or simply dies? Your pics are dead as well. What if there’s a way to just automatically back up your photos to the cloud? Wait, doesn’t iCloud do that?
Here’s the really skinny on your iCloud backup. If you make room on your iPhone by deleting photos, iCloud will not back up those photos. Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, and if you delete them from your iPhone, they are also deleted from all your devices as well as from iCloud. Camera roll photos are included in your iCloud backup, but if you delete photos and continue backing up your iPad, the backup containing the deleted photos will be overwritten by one that doesn’t, and they will be lost. Got it?
So, how can you save your iPhone without worrying what happens to them after you delete them? The best app for your iPhone is: MEGA. Mega automatically uploads your photos as soon as you take them. So, it takes the guesswork out of figuring how to back up your photos. What’s great is you don’t have worry about what happens when you delete photos on your phone. Your photos will still be on the Mega online storage site. Oh yeah, you get 50GB for free! That’s more than enough for many people. You can upgrade for a small fee after that if you want to.
A no-fuss app by Mega. It’s a great iPhone service tool to install and keep. And you get to stick it to the man since the app is made by Kim Dotcom!
