Recommendation for photo storage app with cross-device login and unlimited storage

Can anyone recommend a photo storage app that you can put unlimited photos and videos on and log into from different devices so you don’t lose them if you lose your phone?


at the moment I’m using photo vault which would be perfect if you could have a login to get into it on other devices. I’ve tried KeepSafe which does let you have a login to get back onto it but it keeps failing to load the photos I add meaning if I deleted them I’d lose them.

Google Photos is what I use. I pay $100 a year for 2 TB. While not unlimited, it is for all practical purposes.


I also use LiveDrive for automatic hourly backups and photos; it is truly unlimited, but costs $250 a year. But “unlimited means any number of devices; we back up 5 devices to it.

That would depend on how "unlimited" unlimited is in your mind...

iCloud Photo Library works great for me. I have 2TB of iCloud storage.

I've also used OneDrive using the automatic photos that can be done by the one drive app on the phone to my MS 365 account, which has 1TB of storage.


Neither one of those are "unlimited" of course, but you're unlikely to find much that is truly "unlimited".

You will find that "one off cost" and "unlimited storage" are hard to find in the same offering from a trustworthy company. It just is not a viable long term business plan.


Flickr may have started that way, but their free plan is no longer unlimited or ad-free, and they want to move you to their Pro (periodic paid) plan. Not that it is a bad plan; I'm on it in addition to my iCloud Photos account.

There have been numerous issues over the years of photo storage services/apps being abandoned or shut down by their developers, sometimes without warning, resulting in people losing access to their data with no recourse.


If you want to use a cloud service to store all of your photos/videos, I strongly recommend you also keep a local archive on a removable hard drive, and a backup of that in case of a catastrophe.

Has anyone tried keepsafe? I’ve just found if and put a few photos and videos on. It says you can add up to 10,000 photos and videos which is plenty you can also get new accounts to add more photos and videos. The only problem is I have had a few photos of videos not loading which isn’t much use. I’m just wondering if anyone has used this and if the not loading is common or not.
