TIPS FOR ORGANIZING AND BACKING UP DIGITAL PHOTOS
Do a Daily Auto Backup
A daily backup is your safest bet if you don’t want to risk losing anything due to a gap in backups, but just as important is an auto backup. Auto backups are great for those of us that are always busy (hello, who isn’t these days!?) and tend to forget! It’s nearly fool proof – just set and forget! That’s why I recommend the Ixpand! You can get a daily auto backup of your phone everyday while you charge!
Create a User Profile
If multiple people in your household will be using your backup device, it may be a good idea to create a user profile. The Ixpand has a downloadable companion app, which allows for multiple backup profiles. This will help keep everything organized and avoid and mix ups.
Organize with Folders
Utilizing folders is key when it comes to organizing photos. Arranging albums by year and event will help you quickly sort through thousands of photos, plus it’s very pleasing to the eye versus a cluttered camera roll!
Delete Unwanted Content Regularly
I can not say this enough! Decluttering is always important, especially with your digital assets! Storage space is often a challenge and trying to free up storage space for a backup can often become very frustrating. It helps to get into the habit of doing a clean sweep through your phone regularly if you want to stay organized!
Create a Backup in Multiple Places
This is extremely important, if not the most important thing when it comes to backups! Like I mentioned above, if you are only backing up to one source, you don’t truly have a backup! Anything can glitch or fail, and if that happens to be the case for your one and only backup source, you’re most likely out of luck! Utilizing a mix of cloud and external hard drive backups is always a good idea.

An automatic charger with wireless backup sounds absolutely amazing. It’s what a lot of us bloggers who take own photos need.
