I'll start by saying that I am not technologically savvy. My Mac died of old age a while ago. I use my iPhone for listing and most of the other stuff I used my computer for. The problem is that my reception has always been bad at home, but lately it's practically unusable. Some days I have to stand in the front yard to be able to use the Internet.
Before t-mobile will check to see if it's a problem on their end, I have to try several things, including resetting my phone. I don't have it backed up because I don't have wi-fi. I started panicking about losing my photos, especially my cat photos, so I started backing my photos up on Dropbox.
I'm at the point that I've used my free allotment. Before, I pay, does anyone have any suggestions whether Dropbox is my best option?

Photobucket and Imgur are both free, but I don't know how the free limits are in relation to the free limits on dropbox.

You can buy extra space on photobucket, it might be cheaper than the extra space on dropbox.

Are these just photos that you have and want to keep? Or do you use them for something?
If you strictly needs storage, it's fairly cheap to buy an SD card for your phone or transfer them to your computer and then onto an external drive (you can get 32G SD cards or thumb drives for about $20 or less).

She said her computer died and she does everything on her phone now. So I'm guessing there is no replacement computer?

That's what I get for only half reading when I'm supposed to be working  I'm also assuming since there was a Mac involved, then there is also an iPhone, which means my SD card suggestion won't work either. |

LOL, I had to go back and reread - yes, iPhone is involved.

Ummmm....you can just create a google/gmail account for the pics. It's not invite only any more. You can have multiple google/gmail accounts and if you're paranoid, use each of 'em for different stuff.
