I just save everything to Amazon Glacier that's not the current year. Current year + library files are dumped into S3 ... rinse and repeat.
For photos, I am using Adobe Lightroom and organize files into folders by year/month/day/subject during import. Edited GoPro videos go to YouTube etc and originals/edits straight to Glacier.
This takes a bit of effort to set up but works great great.
- mikejarema 12y agoWould you be open to sharing numbers here? For example how much data you're storing on Glacier/S3, monthly data transfer and monthly costs to you?
- akumen 12y agoSure. I have roughly 600GB stored on Glacier and around 50 GB on S3 so far this year. I am yet to spend more than $10/month. Wait, you say, Google Drive is 9.99 for 1T! True, I say, but on AWS you only pay for what you use. So you will realize real saving once you push past your first 1T in cumulative storage.
