[Closed] Making space on iPad for upgrade - pics need moving

Our iPad is 16gb and there's only 1gb of space left on it which is no good for the upgrade to iOS7. There are 3gb of pics/videos on there though so it might make sense to move them.
So I've got some space left in my iCloud account and in my Dropbox account - which of those should I use (I might like to get some of the pics back on the iPad after the upgrade)?
Or is there a better solution such as backup, delete pics, upgrade and then restore?

set up a photo stream so you can still view them on your ipad then delete from the camera roll.

Do you need ALL the pics on your Pad? Can you not archive them off?

firstly if you want to keep the pics don't keep them in one place!

I like dropbox's ability to use the public folder for sharing.

Just do the upgrade via iTunes? That way you don't need any extra space and as a bonus you can create a full backup before you start in case it all goes a bit wrong.

dropbox for pics
flickr for pics
delete music off pad and keep it in iTunes (you can stream from there)
