Videos I might believe, but I'm skeptical that family documents and photos are filling 50 and 100 GB accounts. :)


Photos half a meg each so 2000 per gig. 100k photos might happen, I have a couple of filing cabinets full of 35mm negatives and contact sheets (ok not family snaps).

Put some music and videos in there and you are away.


Half a meg each? Even my cell phone takes 2-3 MB photos. And then if use iPhoto or something, it stores the original and edited photos separately. My humble personal iPhoto library is 65 GB.


Even easier, RAW photos at 8MB each. Just 125 per gig.


Not even. My canon 7D murders my free account (at 10 gigs free...)... an hour of leisurely snapping pics can take a whole gig


I just looked at my Pictures folder (moving countries later in the year, so seeing if Dropbox monthly might be a short term additional copy solution for those irreplaceable files). Currently at 99.1GB. And there's 83 days of travelling (and photographing) to go before arriving back home.


I guess it all adds up, you can easily shoot 1GB of photos on a weekend with current cameras.
