A random question about photos
Based on a discussion elsewhere ... I got to wondering how most people store their digital photos. What do you consider the primary storage for your photos?
Mine are on my computer, although the recent ones are also on my phone, but I would say my main photo archive is the folder where I've been downloading first my digital camera photos and then my phone photos since 2004. Does this make me a hopeless digital Luddite? Let the poll reveal all! (The answer is almost certainly yes. Though I realize DW skews somewhat older by internet standards, so I might be surprised.)
Feel free to tick multiple boxes if you have more than one primary photo storage location or it's changed over time, but I'm mostly curious where you consider the current home of your main photo archive.
