This morning while I was waiting for the rain to stop before fixing up the car...

I finally decided to sign up for Fibre Broadband. I have opted for the (slower) 20Mb/Sec down and 10Mb/Sec up service. This will replace my dependance on a cellular wi-fi router I have been using for the last 18 months which was 5Mb/Sec down and 3Mb/Sec up, with a cap of 10Gb/month. I will still have the Cellular router as standby for a few months until the contract expires.

My plan: The way I use Lightroom is to manually place all my new images in a new folder on my main computer, I then synchronise the year folder which brings the new images into Lightroom. The folder is in a hierarchy by year and kind. I keep my purely botanic and my IR images separately but in the same 'Photography' top level folder.

I plan to start a new Photography folder in my iCloud drive. Here I will place a JPEG subset of images I want to make available across my Macs and iDevices. I may be able to tag select them in Lightroom then export them all at once?

That way I have access to all the images I want access without having the huge bulk of my images 'In The iCloud'.

iCloud allows 5Gb of storage, I have in the region of 200Gb of images putting that lot 'in the cloud' simply isn't practical, it would completely use up my bandwidth for 10 months!!! Quite apart from the additional storage costs.

My strategy should enable me to utilise the facility provided by iCloud yet retain my own image file structure and handling, even when away from home by having a specific folder for newly taken images where I can deposit the images under my control when away from home, or on my iDevice.

Looking forward to the activation on 5th November (Fireworks night! in memory of Guy Fawkes, who tried to blow up parliament.).

Well done Robert. Be thankful you can get such a service in UK. No chance of this for me in Spain.

Satellite?

I did look into it some time back, a bit of capital outlay but as a long term solution it might be worthwhile?

Satellite is too expensive. I can get telephone connection that provides maximum of 1Mb/sec and wifi connection at 3/6/12/32Mb/sec.
I have 1Mb in the house I currently live in as the wifi solution cant get to that house. My house on the other side of the hill allows a wifi connection so I have 3Mb/sec there.
