Can anyone help me out with this?? I have 3 old phones that have a lot of hunting, fishing, trapping pics on them. What's the easiest way to save/store those photos? I should add that the phones are all different, one is an iPhone, another is a droid, not even sure what the third phone is.

I've got too many memories with pictures that I don't want to lose.....it's time to get them organized!

Thanks for any input!

save them all to your computer or external hard drive. Should be able to plug each phone into the computer with a USB cable and transfer the pictures.

X2 all above.
Those phones have cloud services. I know droids use dropbox not sure about iPhones.
Do iPhones have a SD card? If so plug that into a computer and save to the computer or external hard drive

No SD card in iPhones, but all the phones could use a single cloud service. I’m not a fan of Google anymore but using Google for images was an easy route to go, if there’s no issue with the images being in the cloud. All 3 phones could connect on WiFi, download Google Pictures app, and backup all the pictures to Google Pictures. Use 1 account and login to it on each phone. Those pics can be accessed from each new phone or pc anytime in the future. Also, you can set your phone to automatically backup new pictures taken straight to the Google images account. Set it and forget it and have all the images. Back when I used it, I opted for the FREE unlimited storage. As far as cell phone pics go, IMO, the quality is no different than the ‘Limited Full Size Image’ option.
Since you have a mixed bag of cell phone brands, a cloud based option maybe the simplest. With the iPhone, using iTunes on your PC is the smoothest process for getting the images. However, it can be a little buggy if it’s an older phone or synced to another pc in the past.

If I was in your position, I would:
Go the Google route. Upload all the images from each phone - no cords or cables required.
Get on the PC, search Google Photos
Login to the account you created to backup the images
Save any pictures you want from there to a hard drive if you want or just leave them in the cloud.

Sorry for the long post, but that seems like a good option to me. If you go that route and need help, let me know and I can streamline those steps some with better detail, but it’s not that bad. Hope this helps

I use iCloud with my iPhone. It works the same as Google Pictures described above. It also backs up my contacts, text and voice messages.


Eh...wot?

I was trying to download some videos from a GoPro to my phone. Then on to the iCloud. It's telling me I've about used all my free storage and I will have to buy more storage. It seems relatively cheap. But, I'm cheap and trying to find another route.

When my iPhone got full I bought the $0.99 a month iCloud plan. It took a while but I eventually filled that up too. I take a lot of pictures, tens of thousands of them. My current plan, the next one up, is $2.99 a month. I doubt even I will ever fill that one up.

I save them to the computer via USB cord then download them to a 32gb thumb drive for backup just in case computer crashes.
