How many GB?

[ndsimm]

I was just looking at my stats and saw that I have almost 104GB of jpegs out on my site. While that doesn't sound like a lot compared to my RAW images at home (almost 2TB). I was curious as to how much space you are using...

You are storing 104GB on SmugMug? That is great! Isn't unlimited storage wonderful :) We have about 500 TB of photos in total.

We are doing a study right now on storing RAW and TIFFs. We don't have any immediate plans.

That's something that's bugged me about Photrade and Flickr; they both hit some real slowdowns at times, and often when they're lagged, their uploaders fail to acknowledge the file after I've waited for the upload. I've been reluctant to shell out for a Smugmug account just yet because of the issues with everybody else that insists on HTTP uploads.

Since I use Opera under Linux on this machine, Opera under Vista on my main desktop, and Firefox under XP on the other one, platform independence is a concern; each version of each browser seems to handle everything a little differently, and sometimes things just don't work like they should.

I'd love to see an option to upload via FTP; it's standardized enough to work with every OS, stable on all of them, and there are lots of frontends to simplify the job. It's also pretty tolerant of slowdowns. While it would probably require a bit of rearranging and tagging after the upload, it would be well worth the trouble, IMO, to simplify the upload process itself. (Even that part could possibly be simplified using certain EXIF data.)

I rarely upload full sized images to SM because I don't use them for printing, just showing... so my total GB is a little less.. its the number of images that surprises me..

Photos uploaded: 10614 | Disk space used: 9.21 GB

Speaking of storing RAW and TIF's, go ahead and store any file format for a little extra money. Check this: http://www.smugmug.com/help/smugvault
