We receive a lot of great questions from our MagCloud community, but this particular one really sparked our curiosity—so we decided to investigate!

For many, vacation photographs wind up unorganized and spread amongst their hard drives, cell phones, Instagram and Facebook–doomed to be lost in the shuffle.
