Using Snapfish to Store your Photos

Snapfish photo tips

Follow these tips to achieve foolproof photo storage on Snapfish.

Tip 1. Know what the storage policy is.

Snapfish advertises itself as a site that stores an unlimited number of your photos for free. It also claims to leave your photos in your account indefinitely. Before you add your entire collection onto the site, keep two things in mind.

First, understand that Snapfish will keep your photos intact as long as you make at least one purchase every 365 days. This will be easy to do if you take advantage of regular deals and credits that the site offers.

And second, always create a back up of your photos regardless of the site's storage policy. While the site is likely perfectly safe... disasters do strike and it would be tragic to lose all your precious photos. You can create a backup simply and easily by following the steps given here.

Tip 2. Keep your albums consistent.

I like to name my albums according to date or event, but do whatever works for you. Just keep things consistent -- if you name each album differently it will be difficult for you to find what you're looking for in the future. Store your pictures in an organized fashion so that you save searching time later.

Tip 3. Pull out your old film camera, take some shots, and send the film to Snapfish.

Once you've cleaned up your computer's hard drive and uploaded all of your digital photos to your Snapfish account, why not organize all your 35mm prints? Wouldn't it be nice to have your all those film rolls developed and uploaded for you? Leave that to Snapfish!

Once you create your Snapfish account, you can request photo mailers and you can mail Snapfish your film rolls. Snapfish will develop them for you, make prints, and upload the photos to your online account all for the same price it would be to just get the film developed!

Storing your photos on Snapfish is easy to do. Just keep these important photo tips in mind!
