In my last post I mentioned cloud technology and how it might be useful for archiving or backing up images.
I have now looked into it a little more.
Adobe offer various packages where you can download any of their apps from Creative Suite 6, get 20GB of cloud storage and sync so you can access your images from anywhere.
In theory this all sounds pretty useful. You would always have access to the most up to date versions of their software for starters. And seeing as they bring our a new version every year this is something that would work out very handy indeed.
I'm not sure about the 20GB of storage and how that actually works. It sounds quite a bit but is it really? We all know how PSD files swallow up memory.
The price is pretty good. Well if you are a student it is. Currently they are offering membership for £15.88 a month which works out at just over £180 a year. This is the price of a student version of CS6 alone.
I think it is something definitely worth looking more into especially seeing as I am going to be a student for another few years.
For more information, check out their website.

I love it for the apps, but the storage is still problematic. It's not what it should be yet - a drive in the sky that you can easily access. It's more like a storage bin for files. If you want to work on them, you have to download them and the re-upload them. At least that's the way it's working for me. Having said that, I love CS6 and that alone is worth the price.
