Dropbox For Photo Management

BySean Chin

Adam Dachis from Lifehacker has a fantastic article on using Dropbox for photos.

I  love snapping photos but I hate dealing with them after they come out of the camera. Edits take a really long time and almost nobody enjoys organizing a bunch of files. My method works great for me because I don’t like a complicated setup.

Personally, I really dislike using services such as Smugmug, Flickr and Zenfolio to store my photographs. Even though they now look great, I don’t like how anyone of them could change their privacy rules on the fly. This is why I am currently using Piwigo. I can install the software directly to my server and have full control.

This guide for using Dropbox looks like a very promising and is something that I will try out.
