SmugMug, the popular professional photo sharing website, introduced SmugVault , a new service which lets users store not only photos, but many other types of files, including RAW (yessssss!), PSD and even excel and word.

The service is offered in collaboration with Amazon and costs are the following:

Storage costs 22 cents per gigabyte per month. If you upload the contents of a 2 GB memory card, you’ll be out 44 cents/month for storage.

There is a $1/month recurring charge.

Data transfer in is 30 cents per gigabyte. Data transfer out is 51 cents per gigabyte.

Monthly addition to your home electrical bill: Zero.

Finally a photo sharing file which lets you store and backup your RAW images. Another great move by my favorite service. Check it out!

Just to share that my overall experience with the customer care of SmugMug, a professional web 2.0 photo sharing website where I upload my photos and keep my photo galleries (they host over 285M photos and have 300.000 paying customers…), is definitely excellent.

Quick email replies and they always keep focus on your problem until they solve it. My experience is really outstanding and I definitely recommend it if you are looking for the best alternative to traditional and maybe most popular websites like Flickr. Yes, it’s not free (even if cheap), but it is worth every single penny.

Good job guys, good job.
