Why is SmugMug the best place to back up all your photos?

SmugMug will never mine, sell, or share your data. Your photos are yours and yours alone, and you control who gets to see what with incredible privacy settings.
What’s the best backup strategy?
Backing up your photos is a good idea for just about everyone who owns a camera—even the one on your phone.
If you’re a professional photographer,
You know that hard drives are good, but not perfectly reliable, and having a safe, secure, and easy solution to backup your photos in the cloud can give you some much-needed peace of mind.
If you’re a hobbyist, social media user, or don’t want to risk losing those memories on your phone, camera, or computer, having a photo backup system that offers unlimited storage is the best way to protect your photos.
Who are my customers?
The best ways to backup photos are ones that will keep them safe, secure, and accessible. Additionally, creating redundancies is never a bad idea. These could include cloud storage that can be accessed from any connected device, storing photos on multiple hard drives, uploading photos to a private server, and uploading photos to a personal computer.
Are Google and iCloud good photo storage options?
Both are fine options depending on your needs, but neither offers truly unlimited storage space like SmugMug does for the same low price. Depending on how many photos you take and how easily you’d like to retrieve them, you should consider all of your options.
It's also a good idea to have a secondary photo backup and photo storage solution, just in case one shuts down, decides to increase prices, or you get locked out of your account.
Does SmugMug have an app to back up photos?
Yes, you can download the SmugMug app to any iOS or Android device, or any PC or Mac and backup your photos. You can backup photos manually, or set it and forget it with automatic uploads on most devices.
