How do I upload my photos to you?
There are a few great ways to upload your photos on the internet and share them with us. We use Google Drive, WeTransfer and FromSmash when we work with photographers. These upload and download services are free to use and work really well for sharing larger files in the cloud.
Like we said we make use of multiple cloud services, we really love this about the time we live in; to share everything with people from all over the world. This is a list of the most used cloud services in no particular order that we advise you use when working with us.
WeTransfer - WeTransfer is a free cloud service where you can both upload and download files that are shared with you. You can use WeTransfer for free if you don’t upload more than 2,5GB. Luckily, with Smart Previews in Lightroom you probably never will upload more than 2,5GB. If you do, you probably want to use FromSmash.
FromSmash - FromSmash is also a free cloud service where you can both upload and download files that are shared with you. The beauty of this free cloud service is that you can upload up to 100GB for free. So if you don’t use Lightroom and need to upload all your RAW files, we advise FromSmash.
The downside of the free plan is that there is always some sort of queue. The people who are paying for FromSmash gets served first. This means that when the upload is completed, it can take a few hours before it is send out to us, the longest queue I’ve ever experienced with FromSmash was like 6 hours. So keep this in mind.
Google Drive - We can create a Google Drive folder for you in our own Google Drive. This is a place where you can only upload Lightroom Smart Preview Catalogs and where we will upload them back to you when we’re done with photo editing or photo culling.
Dropbox - We can create a Dropbox folder for you in our own Dropbox. This is a place where you can only upload Lightroom Smart Preview Catalogs and where we will upload them back to you when we’re done with photo editing or photo culling.
So there are a few ways to share your photos with us if you want to outsource your photo editing with us. Our favourite ways of sharing files is by using WeTransfer and Google Drive. These services have never dissapointed us in almost 10 years!
