I am an ACE member, but was wondering about a couple of things. First, if an ACE member decides not to renew then what happens to the various albums? Do they all get deleted and only the default gets kept?
Next I a restructuring what I want to do and have a couple of albums with nothing in them. Can I delete them?
Last - is there a way to bulk move from one album to another (keeping one album for previous year's and a separate one for the current year - I am thinking about moving the photos from 2020 into the older album.)
I decided a long time ago that I would put all of my 365 Project pictures into printed photo albums. I am in year nine and it's been a bit of a task but I have done it! I try for two years to an album. The good pictures are bigger in the album, the cellphone, day-to-day ordinary ones are smaller. It's kind of fun to leaf through and see what I was up to each year. It looks like this:
I decided to have yearly albums so moved photos one at a time then decided to have 3 yearly albums so moved them all again resulting in surplus empty albums. Now I’m still not sure how I want them organised but do I want to move them all again?????
@kimmer50 Wow, that looks really nice. I know that it gives away my age, and generation, to say that I never quite trust any digital storage system so, having a hard copy of the albums does have definite appeal to me. How exactly did you get this done?
@gardencat I'm no spring chicken and I share your views on storage! Also, if they aren't printed they are harder to browse through. I use a company called Shutterfly, based in the United States. Regular prices are stupidly expensive but they have lots of great sales. I've been ordering books through them since 2007. I order 12x12 inch books with 100 pages (50 pages double-sided). You can customize everything, text, number of pictures per page, size of each picture, page colour/background, etc. The basic book is only 20 pages and there is a charge for each extra page, making it expensive at regular price. However, their best sale is a "free unlimited extra pages" and that brings the cost for the 100 page book to about $85CAD. I put two years in each book. They also offer free 8x8 inch books every couple of months so I have made books for my grandsons from my pictures. Also, free fridge magnets every so often. You get the idea! And they stand behind their products. If you aren't happy they replace the book for free.

Kim - that is fantastic info. I have been thinking about doing the same thing.
Just a couple of questions for you. I tend to upload a large file of my photos to 365 for quality purposes though I do not know if it really makes much of a difference.
What size file per photo did you have printed? And do you find that the size of the file made a difference in print quality?
@farmreporter I re-size my photos for upload here, usually to a 1024x768. That size seems perfectly adequate for the photo books. I usually put about 8 photos per page to get the two years into one photo book.
When I occasionally have a photo that I want to print full-page I might upload the original from my PC rather than the re-sized one I posted here. When placing photos on the page it will prompt you if the resolution is too low for print quality. A friend of mine prints each of her 365 photos full-page (in the 12x12 inch books) and uploads full size versions, but then of course she needs four albums since each one has a max of 110 pages. Most of my pictures are just a day-to-day ordinary picture of my ordinary life so no need to see them enlarged to 12x12 inch!
Tweets ahoy!
