OwnPix Collect everything first
Download the files from your photographer, your own phones, and the guest album. Check the event album's storage deadline and any download deadline in your photographer's agreement.
Put each source in a clearly named folder, such as “Photographer” and “Guest photos.” Keep the original files even if you later make edited selections.
Keep copies in separate places
| Copy | Example | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Everyday copy | Your computer | Enough storage and a clear folder name |
| Separate copy | External drive | Files open when the drive is connected |
| Off-device copy | Cloud storage or a drive kept elsewhere | You can sign in or access the drive later |
Do not delete files from your phone or event album until you have checked the copies. A second copy protects against a single lost device; no storage method is useful if you cannot retrieve the files.
Set a reminder
Revisit the backup occasionally, particularly before changing devices or cancelling a storage service. Share the location with someone you trust.
