The issue I'm having is that my computer is out of disk space:
- I have roughly 400GB worth of photos and growing. Even if I cleared some space from the hard drive on my Macbook, I wouldn't have enough to hold everything.
- I purchased a Seagate external hard drive that I plug in whenever I want to edit with Elements. However, the computer doesn't always recognize the drive when I plug it in. The last few times, it took nearly 20 minutes of unplugging, waiting, and replugging before being recognized.
- I have been told that using a cloud source is an alternative to external drives. The problem with this is that much of my editing time is done on the go, i.e. outside of my wifi connection. It would kill my data to move 20MB+ files back and forth.
- I asked a computer technician if Macbook hard drives can be replaced as easily as those on PC's (all files mirrored, easy installment, etc.) and was told that it's pretty difficult on a Mac, and many places wouldn't try.
Is there an obvious solution to my problem? Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Any assistance is greatly appreciated, thanks!
