[Leica] Solutions for storing images on the go and on the cloud.

[zero at numberland.org (zero)]

Dear Colleagues,

Apologies for not being a frequent contributor, I think my last posts to
the LUG date from July 2001 and I have been an intermittent lurker since. I
tried to find the answer to my problem in the archive but could not. So
here it is now submitted to your wise assembly!

I will be going for a trip round the world with my M9 and I want to travel
light. I expect to produce b/w 300 Go and 1 Tera. What system and/or
procedure  do you recommend to upload my pics on the go, on the cloud?

I was thinking of buying some multimedia viewer that could let me store the
pics when I am off the grid, view them and sort them out, and then upload
when I get to some internet caf? or hotel wireless. I want to be able to
share some folders, but not all.

Regarding the devices, it seems that the previous generation of multimedia
viewers (Maxtor, Epson?) has disappeared. A laptop is a bit bulky and
fragile; I am moderately enthusiastic about the heavy tablets; but will go
for that if necessary. Regarding the cloud services, I found so many but it
is unclear which are best for this specific use: Amazon Glacier? Picasa?
Dropbox? How would these interface with a viewer that is not a laptop?

Thank you for your kind advice!

Saadi
