This is just wondering, have you considered compressing images your not currently using?
Just a thought

Ps. Paying monthly for extra storage isn't the way to go, over time you will spend more then upgrading your storage.
I mean you could buy a 3TB internal Hard drive for 125-150€ which is 161-194$(depending on performance, but considering it would only be storage it would be less)

Compressing....now there's a thought. I would definitely consider it for archiving, but for local use, probably not. When you need to get at something, you don't want to be decompressing 3 TB to get 3 photos...

If you have the $$, you should also look into building/buying a server. Buy a board and some PCI raid cards for SATA, and install it in a case. You can get it up to 50 TB if you wanted.

well considering all those tera in pictures... a server doesn't seem to be a bad idea.

Finally, after about 4 different drive and partition programs, I've gotten Windows to recognize that damn 3TB drive. As much as I hate to use it, EaseUS Partition Master did the job. Seagate Disc Wizard didn't. Minitool Partition Wizard didn't. Windows Disc Manager didn't. Mounting a hard drive shouldn't be this much trouble...
