Do you backup your photos to the cloud?
This is the same question I would have asked. Reality is, you the smartphone user, would be wise, not to store photos on his/her smartphone in general. Sure keep a bunch that you like but not all your pics. Remember, if your smartphone dies or is stolen, etc. you chance losing all your precious pics. Best bet is to always keep copies of all your pics in the cloud. In todays day and age, you have Microsoft One Drive, Google Drive, Amazon photos and Dropbox that work extremely well with your computer and or your smartphone and even with Amazon Fire TV. Most all of these offerings give you a decent amount of storage for free. Amazon.com, if you are a Prime Member will let you keep ALL your pics in the cloud/with them for free. SO, don't be foolish enough to keep your precious pics on your computer and or smartphone without having them backed up on the cloud with one of the offerings I mentioned. Also, with each of these offerings you can have your smartphone set-up to automatically send a copy of each pic you take to their cloud storage, immediately after the pic is taken and automatically.
Imagine, you are on vacation, take a zillion pics that are on your phone and your phone is lost, stolen and or damaged in such a way that you cannot access your pics on the device. This is the year 2016. Take advantage of the current technology that allows you for free, to keep a backup in the cloud of precious files, pics...
Forgot to mention, once copies of the pics are in the cloud, you can access them from any device you own (computer, smartphone, Fire TV, etc.) that can access the internet. Another big plus is should you chose to you can share your in the cloud folders with, friends, family, etc..
Moving folders via USB cables and such is old school so to speak. Get with it, again it is the year 2016.
