Something commonly seen by cell phone repair technicians is a disappointed owner who can’t find the videos or photos he or she took on a recent vacation or over the past weeks or months. And these cell phone techs want you to know a few tried and true secrets. There are excellent places where you can back up your photos and videos taken with the camera on your cell phone. Utilizing these options might save you some disappointment.
Do you have a gmail account? If so, you have unlimited storage space in the cloud for your photos and videos. Their unlimited option compresses the files, so don’t store them there if you think you might want to make prints later on. Most people, however, have already done so, and simply don’t want to get rid of the files. This is an excellent option—and is free.
Flickr is a site that provides up to 1,000 GB of free storage for your photos and videos. Even better, they don’t compress your files. You may retrieve them at any time and print to your heart’s content.
All you need in order to utilize either of the aforementioned options is the respective company’s app. Once the app is downloaded onto your cell phone, you’ll read the simple instructions and you’ll never worry about losing a photo or video again.
Do remember, however, that if downloading the app or following the necessary steps to store your videos and photos are more technology than you can manage (and this isn’t meant to insult—there are people who simply are technologically limited), your cell phone repair business is available to perform those tasks you require.
