Have photos in the cloud, sky, on your computer and everywhere else? Get it together in one spot and share your photos too with ibi smart photo storage.

I am an admitted pack rat.
I have boxes in my office dedicated to putting the kids’ school crafts, remnants of cute notes they’ve drawn, greeting cards they’ve received, ticket stubs and of course, all their class photos.
That’s the kids’ boxes – you should see the ones I have for myself and for work.
So it’s no secret that my phone’s photo album acts like a digital version of all the photos and events of our lives. Then add on an event I’m covering or an impromptu blog post or social media opportunity and photos stack up quick.
Currently my phone reads at 20,000+ photos and 2,000+ videos.
2500 are just from the beginning of this year.
And before you ask, yes, I also back up.
There’s iCloud, Dropbox, and Box. Hey I even have some CDs burned with old photos like from our trip to Italy, our wedding in Puerto Vallarta, and Jackson’s once-in-a-lifetime Wish Trip to Disney World. And I pay for all the subscriptions and their expanded storage.
And none of them are complete collections.
And that’s before you count the backup boxes we also have of the actual photos. Then to share, I normally upload to Facebook to share with my network or send via text five at a time to my parents. And after all that, I’m spent and I don’t share much of anything else because it’s just a lot of work.
Another issue is that I don’t always want to share photos with everyone. I want to make sure that I documented the moment for me and my family, but it doesn’t mean I want to share it with my network of friends on social (work, church friends, or acquaintances.) Considering not every shot is award-winning and ready to be put on social, doesn’t mean that I don’t want to keep it and in some instances, share it.
Besides one day my kids will be on social and I know there are some shots they’d rather mom not share to the Interweb:)
Needless to say, it takes a lot to keep and share memories at your fingertips.
That’s why ibi might be your next best friend.
Don’t know ibi?
Well think of your own personal hub for all photos for all your devices that automatically makes sure your best moments are always saved, all in one place. But even better, ibi makes it easy to connect with your inner circle of family and friends (whomever you’d want) to receive photos, but not to everyone on your social media list. I mean there are times you want people on social to see that first day of school pic or maybe that travel shot you took when you get home from vacation, but with ibi, you can make sure it’s just your mom and dad or your sisters. And if you don’t want anyone but your hubs to see your shots, then don’t worry, you set up your circle to make sure it’s only who you want who can receive what photos you have on ibi.
Set up is a cinch…you just plug ibi in, download the app, and get ready to directly upload those photos. Done.
Hey, with all the other mamachallenges you have happening, if you snap that perfect shot, don’t you want to make sure you don’t lose it and most of all, don’t necessarily share it with the world?
That’s what ibi smart photo can do for you so you can keep taking the photos and enjoying them!

I’m looking for a private photo library owned by me as an alternative to Google photo. Ibi looks like it could do it. Does the app remove photos from your phone as it uploads to Ibi? Google photo does which is nice because I know they’re being back up and I’m saving memory space on my phone.

I actually have both. I like Google Photos for immediate uploads but the IBI is good to have a great backup and of course share with those in our family.
