I don't really use any other services, because OneDrive really does everything I need.but my needs are pretty basic, so YMMV. If I feel the need to touch up the photos, I'll do it on the PC, and it replicates up to the cloud automatically. Have a desktop as the master photo repository, and it syncs all photos up with OneDrive. So, how do you keep it all in sync? Do you keep your home NAS as the "master" copy that ties together the various cloud providers, or find one service to rule them all? Do you do your light editing/sorting/tagging on a mobile device, a desktop, or web app? Meanwhile, I assume full-fat apps like Lightroom have continued to iterate. Some cloud services now offer face detection (Facebook, Google), which would be great to leverage, but generally their organizational features are shit compared with photo-centric sites like Flickr and SmugMug.
#HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE PHOTOS ON MAC WINDOWS#
My Nexus syncs to Google Drive (or maybe Picasa? haven't explored the GOOG ecosystem in depth.) My cameras still need to sync via physical miniSD, but the Windows Live apps have been rebooted & redesigned a half-dozen times since the XP days no idea which MS apps support which features, anymore, so I end up doing a braindead drag/drop from Explorer. My Lumia auto-syncs to OneDrive (and thus Windows Explorer) over the air. Nowadays, as devices and services get "smarter", there are a lot more moving parts to glue together. In the old days, I used Windows Live Photo Gallery to extract them over USB, do some basic editing & face detection, sort into a folder structure on my NAS, then upload to Flickr for proper tagging & off-premises archival. Unfortunately, they've turned me - former power user - into a lazy bum where proper organization is concerned, to the extent I can't claim to have a strategy at all. Phones with decent cameras + wifi sync have given newbs a basic workflow out-of-the-box.
