Do you need to backup the images on your iPad?

Apple has created a post that will step you through setting up iCloud on your iPad.

There are a view things to consider when using iCloud.  It will only hold 1,000 images for up to 30 days.  Read the Apple web page about iCloud for more information.

This is an app that does many different things.  The video will give a very wide overview of what this app is capable of.

Download and install the google+ app from the app store.  Log in to the app with your google account.  There are some storage limitations with google+.

Also check out dropbox.  The free account is limited to 2 gigs.

I have a paid dropbox account - I think I have about 120 gigs of space.
Google - I have another 100 gigs of space there.  Also a paid upgrade.
