I have over 60,000 railroad related pictures I have taken the past 45 years as well as thousands of historical photos. I have everything, including videos backed up on Google Photos, which is free. Sadly you can't use it to share a link so it won't work with Blue. Having the limit on Blue increased to 10 photos per post has been a big help, but if would be even more user friendly if you could select all of your photos that you wish to upload like you can on most other sites. I don't upload multiple photos often here for that reason.
I have been very conscientious about renaming photos as I download them from my cameras. I start with the yyyy/mm/dd and add a description after. I have gone back and renamed all my older pictures with this format. I have 4 back up hard drives as well as DVD's. (I lost some stuff in 1998 and vowed it would never happen again).
I use a little right click program called "agent ransack" which will search a 2 tb hard drive in 5 minutes the first search and seconds after that. It will search for your term any where in the file or folder name, thus if I want to find a picture of the day I search for the date with only month and year. Here is an example: search for 6/15 and this is what the results look like.
You can right click on any folder and just search that folder or you can select an entire drive, or for that mater your whole PC. The trick is in naming the files as you put them on your PC.
If I want I can select every item, right click and copy every thing that is found and place it in a folder.
I don't intend to hi-jack the thread and if anyone is interested I will start a thread on how I rename and use a couple free programs to help get my Pictures organized.
If only there was some way to organize my trains and parts as easy.
