Thanks to the app store software prices have gone down but sales volumes have gone up. You can buy software that is an equivalent of Photoshop or Illustrator for many, many users for ~$50 or so. I've seen whining by some people because they paid $80 for Luminar and have to pay $40 again in order to get a DAM. When Aperture was introduced, it cost $500.

And that isn't because there is some slippery slope, but because software prices have declined sharply ever since iOS apps became a thing. Fun.įWIW, I'm not being opposed philosophically to "progress" - I'm just balancing its benefits versus its costs, and recognizing that individually, I'm not a particularly good use case/ workflow for it (currently).Ĭlick to expand.That is a fallacious argument: the whole software industry is moving to a subscription model for the most part, some has had subscription models for decades already. would suck up half of my ISP's monthly quota, and at 25Mbps takes at least 8.2 days (assumes 100% of maximum theoretical throughput). Similarly, doing a 'restore' on just my photo database. but you're effectively out for a day from accessing them on your tablet/etc until that overnight synch has transpired. And sure, we can say that one does the local HDD copy and then it Cloud syncs overnight. If that's too slow for my liking, I'm now looking at paying more for a 50Mbps service to cut that 18 hours down to ~9 hours.in contrast, a a generic local hard drive takes only ~30 minutes. Uploading it on a 25Mbps connection will take at least 18.3 hours to upload (assumes 100% of maximum theoretical throughput). While its pretty tempting to say "zero, because I need the Internet anyway", the real surprise here is bandwidth consumption and data transfer rates - the cost here can be the amount of time required, which can motivate you into paying for a higher tier service.įor example, if I come home from a holiday with the memory cards filled on just my newest dSLR, that's 196GB worth of new data.

Plus another hidden 'cost' of data on the Cloud is the cost of my access to the data (eg, ISP). Fair point on cross-platform accessibility.but in counterpoint, when I'm already paying now for local hard drives for some of my data archiving/management, the cost of adding one more dataset onto them is pretty low: labor (setup, maintenance) doesn't really change, backups run unattended, and the incremental cost between, say, a 2TB to a 3TB HDD ($50 to $70 = +$20/unit) or 3TB to 4TB HDD ($100 = $30/unit) isn't all that much, even after one triples them to have redundant backups: adding an extra 1TB at 3*$30 is $90, which compared to some random $10/month Cloud fee pays for itself in less than a year.
