Used a combination of the set ups over the years. Cloud is ok but a major disadvantage you have a slow 🐌 download speed in some locations depending on the local network could be a bottleneck or the plan you use with your ISP needs changing. I use NAS storage devices with 2 external SSD 4TB drives at different events and back up when i get back home to 2 other locations

Do you know much about Dropbox and the compression of files? I'm looking into Dropbox as my cloud solution but I'm worried that my files will be compressed and lose the quality - has this happened to you? Do you know any settings to avoid this happening? Great video! :)
@Twobarpsi
Solid advice!

Using a 72TB NAS with RAID configuration. In addition I get a pair Samsung T7 4TB SSD each year, one lives at home with the other at a relatives house. Have a Dropbox account but only really use it as a basic FTP so should investigate it further. Typically I'm shooting circa 3TB a year on military, transport and architectural projects, guess you sports lads shoot far more in a season🙂

Curious what percentage you are keeping. I save 5% to 10% and all client photos are saved in the cloud. I shoot 70 soccer games in 2023. Total games in all sports was 133 games and have no time to keep junk files

Nothing will change your attitude and practice towards storage more quickly than moving to a mirrorless 47MP camera that shoots 20–30 frames per second. If as a sport shooter, you decide to keep all of your files on hard drives, it will be a very short time before you could buy a new camera/lens versus storing multiple terabytes of information across that you will never access again. I’ve been doing this for a long time and I can count on one hand the number of times that I was asked to go back and check through Files for photos that were not already published. And as I look back on it all of those times were a complete waste of energy. Two years ago, I took the leap to not store any pictures that were not tagged/rated during the culling process. One of the better decisions I’ve made in recent years — photographically speaking. My wallet is happier and I don’t feel the weight of caring around so much useless digital baggage. If I were Ansel Adams and my work were important for future generations to study… Then I might feel differently. But paying a price - financially, and otherwise - to lug around out of focus files from a junior varsity basketball game from 2016 stopped making sense.
