Hi Neil, I would advise against it, largely on the basis of lack of control. All it needs is someone to create a trivial court case, then serve a witness summons on her storage provider, and they would have to release the photos. So stick with good old DVDs and USB sticks, if necessary stored at several addresses, then you retain control and the photos remain out of the hands of others.
