Best way/place to back up your photos online?

Hey guys, 

 

not sure if this is the place to ask.

 

So I am currently in the process of switching from a HDD to an SSD in my Macbook Pro and I do not have an external harddrive to back up my photos onto. 

 

Is there a free service out there that lets you back up photos to a cloud or something and keep them there? I see service fees left and right on different websites.

I second this, Mega gives you quite a bit of storage and it's also pretty fast.

Pretty much what has already been said, I use Dropbox, but it has only a 2GB limit, so it's nice for a decent amount of photos, but Google Drive and MEGA give you a lot more space with 15 and 50GB respectively. 

All of which are free options.

mega, google drive, dropbox and the one you get with a windows e-mail( @live and @hotmail adresses) are all free and pretty good for back up.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.
