This is what I am saying to my friends who shot digital - it is not important do you use film or digital, important is that you make prints.
Make prints, put them in a box, and write what they are on the back in pencil. It's worked for more than a century.
Don't have a smartphone. Can't afford it. Just use a $75 a year TracFone with no cam from Walmart.
What I don't like about the cloud is if you are behind a month paying they delete all your photos.
My OT inspired panic an all the usual knee jerking
...and no. The cloud isn't somebody else's computer. Thinking types know that.

Gosh you're a touchy soul, and passive-aggressive to boot.
Now, while we're here, let's have a little explainer from you how "the cloud" isn't someone else's computers.
You can do it in words of one syllable for those of us who are "non-thinkers".

You clearly have the advantage on us there.Thinking types know that.
Very little skill but inordinate amounts of time. A few sheets of 35mm at 3200dpi/ppi can easily swallow a morning with the afternoon spotting in Photoshop. As dull a waste of time as any yet invented.As for peoples anxiety about scanning... it's easy as pie if you've got the basic tools, takes almost no skills.
It's easier still to shoot digital. No grain, greater resolution and the convenience of digital input to output. On the other hand I've been optical printing for decades, have the requisite skill and can produce a silver print with archival permanence and social currency.scanning properly results in something that prints with greater detail than any optical system can (save perhaps point light source).

Care to explain where cloud storage takes place if not on someone's hard drive?
The cloud is not the be all and end all solution, but can be part of an archival strategy.
While I don't explicitly use a cloud service yet, I have investigated a few. As I don't mind tinkering under the hood, AWS s3 Glacier is a good "don't need it now" pure archival solution.
The other one, that I pay for already is Flickr.
You're not telling us where cloud storage takes place. A binary digital source requires binary digital storage. Cloud is a euphemism for a non-local storage system. It doesn't involve water vapour at any point.Cloud storage doesn't "take place" in any sort of "where" any more than Google does. I can help you with your spotting problem if you PM me (it doesn't involve PS).
+1! Sure lookin' that way.You think your family in 100 years time are going to be looking through your digital archive of half a million pics? They'll be too busy catching rats to eat and gathering rags to wear.
True! But indeed, make sure it's pencil -- one very near and dear person of my previous generation used ballpoint which after a decade or three stacked in their attic printed through to the emulsion side of the next prints so we could see "Restaurant at Throckmorton Gap" in backwards cursive across the sky of a lovely shot of a waterfall, etc.Make prints, put them in a box, and write what they are on the back in pencil.

I just spit my coffee out my nose! Thanks @blockend!You're not telling us where cloud storage takes place. A binary digital source requires binary digital storage. Cloud is a euphemism for a non-local storage system. It doesn't involve water vapour at any point.
But still no answer.
Cloud storage doesn't "take place" in any sort of "where" any more than Google does.
Cloud storage is nothing but on-line access to redundant file system.
Don't know why OP is not realizing what Flickr is exactly this.
It allows simple and controlled upload, tags, albums, non-visibility and to be any size.

Google. It isn't my job.
B72What filter should I use for the cloud?
