We have a 3tb WD, WIFI portable hard drive which stores a complete copy of our select (currently 37,000) photo archive (also backed up at home) that we take with us. It is easily accessed by any device logged onto its MyCloud app. It's mains or battery operated, has an SD card slot, can even be used as a power source to charge other usb devices in the field. So we can not only take with us all our photos for viewing on our iPad but we upload new photos and movies on location without internet or even mains electricity connection. Movies clips CAN be compiled into short films, photos edited and catalogued ...before we get home....if the mood takes us. In fairness, with a battery life of only 8 hours, we would normally need to plug into the mains for extended access use.
Perhaps we are different, in that we have no need or desire, to share our images with people around the world. We can bore friends and family by simply showing them the iPad. If they are drunk enough to want a copy of an image, it can be airdropped to their iPad or alternatively emailed.
I prefer to cherry pick the parts that I want, from the increasingly Orwellian world we live in.
