Ask HN: Best way to archive old pictures?
3 points by spaceman_2020 on July 27, 2015 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
Hey HN,

So I recently went back home and found my family's old pictures. Some of these date back to the late 19th century.

As you can imagine, a lot of these images are not in the best of shape. I don't think they will survive the next two decades.

I want to create a digital archive of these images that's accessible to all my family members. Essentially, I'm looking for:

1. Cloud based storage

2. Ability to create albums

3. Ability to tag people

4. Can make albums selectively available to some people

5. Can give 'admin' rights to some family members so they can add/remove pictures as needed.

I'm willing to pay good money for a solution like this. Obviously, want something that won't shut down in six months.

Any suggestions?



Use google photos it has unlimited storage for free. Just add email id of people whom you wish to share with.

Most people do have gmail id.


how easy is it to get your photos off a stock nexus 5 and onto google photos?


Download google photos app click on upload and all photos will be in cloud. Use google photos app on desktop and download them back if needed. Or via photos.google.com
