Great Item!
I love this photo storage. It keeps all my photos in one place. I can put groups of pictures in a separate compartment which makes it much easier to find at a later date. Really, great product.

photo storage
Bought to organize my family photos. Each inner case holds a hundreds photos so I was able to but one year of photos in each case. Now the photos take up a very small space in the closet. Love it and I highly recommend this product.

Amazing Storage
I am in love with the photo storage carrier. Each photo case within the carrier holds an amazing amount of photos, and it's so nice to have everything in one place! Not to mention the material used to make the containers+carrier won't damage your photos over time.

Good Organizational System
I am very happy with my photo storage carrier. I ordered two and they both arrived in good condition, and feel fairly sturdy. I like that I can easily carry them with me or just take out whatever case I would like to take.

Best picture organizer ever!
I got two of these and they stack nicely on top of each other. The cases are very sturdy. I use my label maker to label each individual case so it is super easy to find what I am looking for. They're on sale for $20 each, which is a steal.

Waited a year for them to go on sale!! Worth it..
These are fantastic for old folks who still have photos they never/rarely look at but who don't want to throw them away because that would be criminal. It's a good excuse to look at the old pictures, to throw away the ones that mean nothing to you any longer, and to keep the best ones in a neat, clean, and extremely well organized and compact fashion. The carrier and cases can then be dumped when you're no longer around and can be reused as an overnight bag or to store a multitude of items. The cases and carrier are translucent so that labels aren't necessary. You can see what's in each container, and you can find what you need without much searching. These carriers are easy to store and are not heavy when full of photos. They are a hidden gem at the Container Store.

Great Photo Storage
When my grandmother passed I inherited over 100 years of photos that were stored in all forms of shoe & clothing boxes! I found these storage containers at The Container Store & I love them. So far I have filled 3 of them. Some of the photos are too large for this case but The Container Store has photo safe boxes that are various sizes & colors that I purchased for the larger photos. I also purchased a matching binder & pages with sleeves to hold negatives. Now if I could just figure out who all these people in the photos are.

Fantastic!
This produce is amazing and I highly recommend this produce to anyone who is looking for effective and space-saving photo storage! I wanted to pare down my photo collection before I moved and purchased this product based on the reviews. I was able to go from 13 albums to to this storage carrier (plus three additional cases I had to purchase)! I did get rid of maybe 1/4 of my photos but it was worth parting with some less than stellar photos to have my photos so nicely organized. I ended up making labels by taping a piece of plain paper to the top right corner of each individual case and it looks great. If purchasing in the store, test the clasps on the individual cases - some close a little more loosely than others.

Best Way to Organize Photos
Love these! Like another reviewer I sat down with my multiple shoeboxes of old photos and sorted through them. I bought the 6-case box thinking that would be enough, but I don't want to mix categories so I'm going to purchase a 2nd 6-case box. I LOVE the fact that I went from multiple beat up cardboard shoeboxes that were taking up valuable space to this small, neat, organized compartment that takes up hardly any space!
2 minor complaints...on a couple of the boxes, the clasp is not catching very well, so I have to be careful that it doesn't pop open when I'm taking it out. 2nd thing is, I would like to label the top of the case, so that when they are standing up in the storage box, I can just glance at the label without having to pull out each case. But the top of the case is curved which makes it difficult to keep a label adhered to it. These are very nitpicky things though, and I love this system!

Will be great to get pics organized
I actually have yet to use this, but I know that it will be great for getting my pictures organized as I begin to work on my Project Life albums. Right now I have pictures scattered in various boxes, but this will help de-clutter them.

6case photo storage box
The storage box is the best way to organize and store photos. Makes it so easy to find pictures of a specific event. I am going to purchase several more storage boxes. No more going from store to store looking for the perfect storage box. Ones stop shopping. I love it. Finally looking forward to organizing my closets.

Two boxes organized years of photos
Love these. Bought two of them a couple years ago, and got all those old photos out of shoe boxes and albums that never got opened.
The individual boxes make it really easy to group and label events or time periods, and, at a gathering, so easy to find exactly what you want to show folks. This is money well spent.

Awesome
Got this when it was on sale last year, and I love it. I was able to empty at least two of those paper photo boxes and free up closet space with this. Very easy to locate photos that you're looking for since the cases are clear, and they definitely do fit into purses or briefcases if you want to take photos to work and share them with coworkers.

Best photo organizer
I have thousands of photos spanning many generations that I would hate to lose or see damaged. This organizer is perfect for keeping them safe and organized. Each individual cassette within the container can be labeled to allow photos to be found easier. I also like that it doesn't take up too much space. Photo albums holding 1200+ photos take up way too much shelf space so if you are looking to condense albums down and still have all your photos, I would definitely recommend this. I love it!

Great storage
This storage box is great for organizing photos, cards, and flash cards. As a teacher I can have all of my pictures organized by topic and readily available. I love that they're see through, too! I need more individual boxes now.

Great compact storage
This is a great system for storing those priceless photos that are sitting around in a shoebox. I like the individual boxes within to separate photos out in categories, by months or years.

great photo case
These boxes provide organization of printed photos and are a great improvement over paper envelopes. Photos won't fade in them either. Price is worth it for the quality.

12-Case Photo Storage Awesome-ness
I bought 3 of these cases as a birthday present for my grandmother. All of her photos were in shoeboxes and took up tons of space. Now they are all neatly organized by size and protected. This was a great purchase.

Perfect Photo Storage
Years ago I'd purchased a similar product and had always wished I'd bought more. I was delighted to find this one plus it's bigger and has a handle for easy carrying. Putting photos in albums is too time consuming and they end up stashed in various places. With these individual boxes, you can see which photos they are, they're safe, easily organized, and easy to find and enjoy.

great tool for organizing photos
So glad to have found these! Life is too short to have piles of photos weighing you down.
It didn't take long at all for me to take the piles of photos I had in shoeboxes and do a rough sort into the individual cases.
Pile of photos from the family reunion? They get their own case. Summer vacation 2010? Own case. Mix and match pile? They get a case so I can sort them later.
I started with 2 boxes, as proof of concept, and ended up purchasing a total of 8, all of which are filled with photos.
Next I plan to go through each little case - just one case in a sitting - and weed out all the bad photos that aren't worth keeping. Once I do that for all the cases (8 x 6 = 48) I'll make another pass to sort the photos I really want to keep and the ones I will offer to extended family. (Again, just one case at a time so it's not overwhelming.)
The final step will be to put the remaining photos in albums.
These photo cases make it easy to take the overwhelming prospect of doing something with my photos and turn it into something much more approachable, that can be broken into simple steps.

Loved this product
I have been struggling with what to do with snapshots for years. I used to put them in scrapbooks but grandchildren want to touch the pictures. I love this container becsause you can sort the pictures, label the smaller containers and then label the outside of the box. You can find a picture you are looking for quickly without going thorugh hundreds each time. I would highly recommend it to others.
