I no longer need to worry about running out of space or losing precious data due to portable hard drives failing. The convenience of a network-based storage means I can focus more on my craft and less on managing my storage. I don’t have to constantly ask myself:
- Will I have enough space for this wedding or elopement?
- Do I need to buy more storage?
- Do I need to jump on Amazon and buy another 2 terabyte portable hard drive?
If I need to look up a session or a wedding, it's incredibly easy. I organize my NAS by year, month, date, and name. So, if a client asks for their wedding gallery, I can quickly find it and upload it to PicTime within seconds. This ease of access eliminates the frustration of digging through old hard drives to find the right one, making my workflow smoother and my life much easier.
