[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7674270, member: 718"] I import all videos to the Photos app on my iMac, which is actually stored on an external SSD drive. This is copied periodically to another external drive, along with all other files using the standard Apple Time Machine. All photographs and videos are also copied to iCloud and so are available on all my devices everywhere. I pay for several terabytes of iCloud storage backup and also for Office documents using Microsoft365 which also gives me MS OneDrive cloud storage. I always make a habit of having at least two copies of every original. When it comes to photos and videos, which are now basically indistinguishable using today's storage technology, I copy to the computer and as soon as that has been confirmed successful and Time Machine actuated [it can be set to automatically back up but that was just too often for the amount of work I do], the original files on the SD cards are deleted by formatting the card. The timing of the formatting actually depends on the capacity of the cards, because I never want to run out of card space in my devices while using them. I have older cards of 16GB and have only kept a few 8GB ones as reserves. Over the last two years I have bought only 64GB and 128GB cards which hold a massive number of RAW files and many many hours of video. Google charge for any significant bulk of video these day and I am not too keen on either Google or Amazon for my cloud storage even though I have masses of Amazon storage as part of my Prime Account. Should mention that if using Apple computer, then the Photos app automatically stores videos in their own folder as well as in a mixed folder sorted according to uploading date and another where the date is when the images were taken. Only one image or video file but it is automatically sorted into several different organised ways to view it/them. You can also create a themed file and choose which items to also store in that/those for easy future reference. I'm sure Microsoft have something similar. I know that they have a built-in backup system where all you need do is activate and use it. [/QUOTE]
