Yep. Same here, I always take a MacBook with me. Capture One import routine lets you view the files on the card full size and let’s you select only the ones you want to import thus saving space. When you’ve made your selection the files are copied to the MacBook and backed up to the external drive in one go.I always have my laptop when I'm away, each night I download photos onto that, then immediately back them up onto a plug and play external hard drive.
Sounds very efficient, and great if your space is limited.Yep. Same here, I always take a MacBook with me.

I take lots of photos and I can fill up 2 x 128GB cards easily in a day.Sounds very efficient, and great if your space is limited.
The old hard disk drives can fail whitout any warning. "failure rates steadily increase with age."It look's like I will try to resurrect my old lap top
The answer is to buy a portable SSD, such as this Samsung Samsung Portable SSD T7 Shield Review - The SSD ReviewHi
With the large file sizes that cameras now have, how does anyone store photos when they are away from their computer and/or unable to get a signal for cloud storage for a few weeks? Is there an alternative to buying a large number of cards?
Thanks

How is this an answer? Don't you still need a computer to transfer the files from card to SSD? - or do clever new cameras allow you to copy photos direct from card to a dumb storage device plugged into the camera? I know my camera couldn't do that, though it is, umm, old.The answer is to buy a portable SSD
I hope no camera will be made to allow an external device to read/alter the content.Does there really not exist a (very) small device that one can simply plug into a camera once a day and have it auto-copy onto itself all the photos created since the last plug-in? I'd buy one.
You lost me.I hope no camera will be made to allow an external device to read/alter the content.
