If you just want to keep a one time backup of your library for safe keeping you can now stop following this guide, but if you want to make sure that the iPhoto library in the Cloud is updated you’ll need to manually tell iPhoto that you’ve got a new location for your library. If you’ve got a large photo collection this may take some time, so be patient. Then make sure you have that amount of storage free in your cloud account (you may need to sign up for additional storage if you have a large collection of photos).Ĭopying the data across is a simple if lengthy process, ctrl (control) click the iPhoto Library file and select copy (or use ctrl + c) and then paste it into your cloud account (or use control ctrl +v). So open up the pictures folder in your personal library and check how large it is (this is in user name -> pictures). The first thing you’re going to need to do is make sure you have a dropbox or google drive account that can cope with your library. In this tutorial I’ll show you how to copy your iPhoto library to your dropbox or google drive account so that you can keep your images safe in the cloud. Luckily with cloud storage now hitting the mainstream it’s becoming easier and easier to keep copies of your most important files on servers miles away from your actually computer. Of course keeping printed copies of your images is probably the best way to make sure you never loose them, but with so many digital photos being taken on cameras and smart phones it just seems impractical to keep hardcopies of photos anymore. Hopefully you already keep your images backed up on at least one external hard drive to ensure that if the worst happened to your Mac you’d still have all those cherished jpgs safe and sound somewhere else. Keeping your photos safe is of the utmost importance.
