That is what I would like to do as well. Can you provide some specifics on your platform, and how you are uploading? Or if there’s a prime link to those details, would you share...Cayuse said:I use prime storage, mostly as a cloud storage for my RAW (NEF) files. I have a SmugMug account that allows unlimited .JPG storage.
The Amazon storage seems to work fine and I have it set to automatically backup the folders wherwe I download my cards to so there isn't really any thought required, biggest issue was that when I first set it up I used the entire monthly allotment of bandwidth uploading files and had to pay some overage charges to Cox but nothing since that first month.

Looks like I will need to incorporate a NAS device.Cayuse said:In a nutshell I only shoot RAW photos and download all of them to a NAS device that is being watched by Amazon photos. Whenever I add a new folder or photos to the watched directory on the NAS drive it uploads them to Amazon and maintains the directory sturcture, I try to name my directories by location and date for the NEF files, when I upload to SmugMug galleries they might get sorted a bit different but I try to include the date in the gallery name there as well.
Hope that helps.
You don't have to, you can configure the Amazon Photos app to watch any folders including your My Pictures on a Windows machine or another, I just have it setup that way to handle the volume of photos and to be able to access photos from multiple computers in the house.Wandering Sagebrush said:Looks like I will need to incorporate a NAS device.
Thank you!
I had contacted SmugMug support at one point to ask about RAW file storage as Google searches indicated it was available at one time for an additional fee but they've discontinued it. The unlimited RAW storage with Amazon Prime works for backups but can't be used for commercial uses just backups.Lighthawk said:SmugMug user here too, but it's limited to full rez jpegs. I'm not aware of their storage plan for RAW files. That would require some massive uploads with 20-40 MP files off my Sony bodies.
