how do I store and access while traveling more than the last 1000 photos using iOS

I would like to store 2 or 3000 photos (unlimited would be even better) that I can search thumbnails and access anytime anywhere without using the GB's on my IOS device for that storage. iPhone and/or iPad devices. iCloud stores the last 1000,,, not sufficient for me. I have iPhoto on my Macbook and a Mac Mini where I store the photos at home. Fee free is highly desired. Thanks for any help you can provide.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.4), Intel 2.0 with 2 GB and 120 GB HD

Have you tried Dropbox?

You can store your photo files in the "pictures" folder and access them from anywhere.

Do you take your MacBook with you, when you are travelling? Then the MacBook and a small external drive for backing up the photos should suffice.

I have all of my photos currently stored on my Macbook. But I don't know how to access them via my iPhone. My hope is that I can buy an iPhone with only 16 GB instead of one with 32 or 64 GB and still be able to pull up a photo from the thousands I have stored while away from home. Drop Box looks like a possibility but the $10 a month fee is a losing proposition for my purposes. The fee for 10 months equals the $100 extra for more GB and lasts the life of the phone. My apologies for not expressing this more accurately and thanks for the answer. It helped.
