For the amount I'd need, $13.99 Canadian, Maybe a little over $10 a month American. You can buy a new drive every year for that. For 50 GB it costs me $1.29, but, if all you are storing is jpgs you might get away with that. My pixel shift raws are as much as 200 MB. MY tiffs are as much as 380. I also shoot Apple ProRAW on my cameras.
This image is 48 MB on my hard drive as a RAW. 1 MB as a Jpeg.
If one were only using the internet/cloud for backup purposes, one could do what someone PM'd me on here to do for free, which is store up to 1,000 photos on a Flickr account then create a 2nd Flickr account and start storing photos on it also. Flickr is unlimited file size up to 1,000 photos at a time...

My Aunt is in her 80s. Her daughter bought her a new HP laptop that had Windows 10 (or whatever Windows version that was that you touched the screen and swiped and such that everyone hated). Anyways, she couldn't figure out how to use that Windows OS. So I took the laptop and installed a light version of Linux, set it up to where her computer booted right into her browser and her browser opened up her Facebook account upon opening. So, she just has to start up her computer and she's into and using Facebook. She has no idea she's a Linux user, but she uses the laptop to do Facebook every day or so!
Ha!

Oh, ok, that sounds super easy!
I may just get into shooting/editing RAW. I know RAW allows one to do much more post-processing than the .jpg files. So I've read.
Thanks!
