peter_shapiro Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I will be travelling for three weeks. Where do I upload my digital photos to in such a way that I can download them when i return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithdunlop Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I am not digital yet, but all my digital friends travel with laptops. If you're not traveling with a computer, I suppose you could upload to your Yahoo briefcase providing you can find a computer with a USB connection to plug into. The problem with this is the limits on the total storage space provided. If it was me, since I have a web site, I can upload images to my server through an FTP program. Digital photographers may be able to give you better solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle_cox Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 If you don't already have a laptop, or don't want to carry one with you, have a look at the various smaller portable storage solutions. I have the <a href="http://archos.com/products/prw_500375_specs.html">Archos Multimedia Jukebox</a> and it works pretty good. It's a little more fragile than I'd like, but I haven't broken it, yet. :)<p>Going to the Archos site for the link, I see they have some new products that look really nice. I like <a href="http://archos.com/products/prw_500542_specs.html">this one</a> in particular.<p>Another thing to consider is where you are traveling. If you're going to be in more developed countries, they may have something along the lines of Wal-Mart where you can take your photos in and have them put on a CD. If you mention the country, possibly someone from there will pipe up with an answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikos Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 With digital memory cards becomeing cheaper all the time, sometimes it's just a better option to buy more memory. I got a 128Mb card for $50 amonth ago. With this and the 64Mb card my camera had, and given that I only keep good photos, I can go on a 3-week trip without the need to unload photos to the internet or a CD. With a web hosting account costing about $25 (for 150-200Mb web space) and a CD burning service costing about $30, spending somewhere between $50 and $100 for a memory card that is resuable across trips sounds like a good investment. The best and cheapest solution is to find an internet cafe that lets you burn CDs yourself on a CDwriter. The time to do this would cost you about $5 and the CD itself costs less than 50 cents. But if you're travelling outside Europe you will not find many internet cafes offering a PC with a CD writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikos Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 The Archos multimedia jukebox and other similar products are also a good idea - but USB 2.0 can be a bit tricky because older PCs found in many internet cafes of the world mayh have older USB ports. In 1-2 years this will not be a problem, but then Archos will be making USB 3.0 or 4.0 ports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qtluong Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Depending on finding a fast internet connection while traveling looks like asking for trouble, while microdrives and portable drives have become quite affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
