Photo storage and photo books

[Tea-rific]

I am constantly running out of photo storage on my iPhone. I would like a service that automatically backs up my photos. Free is preferable, but I am willing to pay if it is a great service. Any suggestions?

I also want to make some photo books. Best places to do that?

thanks!

We use Flickr. Syncs to both our iPhones. Contains all of our photos since 2002ish.

I use Snapfish for yearly photo books.

This is exactly what I do. I'm not in luuurve with Snapfish, but it connects to Flickr.

BTW, snapfish has a 150 pg limit. I hit that this year with 800+ photos.

Shutterfly for both. They don't backup automatically but I have the app aND it's super quick.

Dropbox or google drive. I use dropbox, DH prefers google.

I just did a 12x12 photo book with shutterfly for 2014. I was really happy with the quality. It was pricey since I had a lot of pages, but I got 50% off with a coupon. I'm a scrapbooker, so it was actually cheaper than a traditional scrapbook for me.

Someone the other day mentioned Amazon Photo storage, if you have Prime. I'm still working on uploading all my photos (i have so many!) there, but there's an app available on iPhone for it.

eta: i've used picaboo for phonebooks, when i bought a groupon for cheap. i loved it, especially since i wanted to be in complete control of it.

I use shutterfly as well although they have a page limit. I just do quarterly books at this point.

I also do a big backup to Google Drive. We have a family email account that is basically just for storage for pics and we pay the extra fee for additional stroage..

I also use flickr. I resisted the auto-upload feature until I started to get so behind on uploading that I turned it on and I LOVE IT. It automatically uploads the pictures from your phone that day. All I have to do it move them into the albums I create. The app is great and easy to use.

I also use Snapfish for my photo books. They usually have 10% back from Ebates and pretty good coupons (sometimes up to 60% off books).

Another option is the Google photos app. Automatically backed up everything and has unlimited storage.

I use auto-upload for Google Photos and Dropbox.
