The Sweet Setup’s Rundown Of Photo Stream Alternatives

Bradley Chambers, writing at The Sweet Setup:

When it comes to syncing data across our devices, we’ve largely “arrived.” If you predominately use all Apple or Google apps and services, then most of your data and documents are synced through those first-party services. And if you use 3rd-party apps and services (such as the aforementioned ComiXology, Kindle, Audible, et al.), many of them provide their own syncing with apps available on all our devices.

One of the last major hurdles for syncing across all our devices and computers is with photos and home movies.

I was surprised by Bradley’s pick, but, with that pricing, it is indeed a good deal.

I’ve personally been using the free trial of Picturelife for a few months now, and I think I’m going to upgrade to Premium for the summer. I like the Picturelife apps and especially the Map view they have on the web to visualize photos by location. The company is focused on making a great product and I hope they will stick around in the future.

The question, of course, is iOS 8. Right now, I’m using a complex workflow to organize my photos in Dropbox and mirror them to Picturelife. I would love to see new iCloud photo announcements next week.
