What if you want to order prints? Or search for photos by date, name or tag? Most importantly: what happens if you ditch Facebook and close your account?
The downside? Facebook doesn't offer much beyond tagging, likes, and comments. Arguably, that's perfectly fine - after all, your photos are not only stored in a place you access often, but are quickly shared with friends and family who use the social network (so, basically, everyone). If you're like many others, you habitually turn to Facebook when you want to share photos online. Today, our digital photos can live online.Įditors' note, June 10, 2015: This guide has been updated to include Google Photos and Apple iCloud Photo Library. Gone are the days of storing photo prints.
