    photo sharing sites

    I moved to smugmug when photobucket started being jerks. I'm paying about $4 a month for the service, which is way faster than photobucket. Any other options out there??

    I also pay to use Smugmug. It works for me. I like the way I can organize my photos in their system. I mostly use it to house the photos I take every year at Potomac. Smugmug makes it easy for me to sort through pix and send people high-res photos of their dogs.

    I switched to Shutterfly.....it's free. I am very tech-challenged, & years ago, I can't even tell you how long it took me to figure out how to use Photo Bucket! But I was able to figure out Shutterfly without too much trouble.....

    If you have Amazon Prime it comes with unlimited photo storage (Prime Photos) for you and five friends or family members (they also receive unlimited photo storage). You can collect photos together in the Family Vault. Photos are organized automatically in several ways and there are various search options. If you have Echo Show (the video version of Alexa) you can tell her to show photos and search by voice. I think you can do the same on Fire TV. You can look at your photos from any device with the app. They also print and have customized photo gifts. Also works with Amazon Drive if you have that.

    I've been using Postimage.org — free image hosting / image upload to generate a simple link to use on forums like this one, the photo I posted below is an example.

    I use Imgur for posting. You don't have to have an account and you can link photos pretty quick. You can also edit them such as size pretty fast.

    I store all of my photos in the Google Cloud. I am close to filling my quota so I will just create another gmail and start filling it up. It's a pretty easy and free way to back up photos. They also have a Google Photos feature that gives you unlimited storage of slightly smaller quality copies of your photos but I have not tried it yet.
    Thanks Everyone!!

    The postimage.org I posted above also allows resizing, no account needed and makes a quick simple link. As for cloud storage I keep all my photo's on a small external hard drive I can plug in via USB (I'm glad I have everything backed up). After the photobucket extortion plot I just don't want to go through that again when the next cloud storage place decides to hold your photos for ransom, so one at a time posting as needed via a site like you and I posted is the way to go for me.

    Oh, phooey...I was hoping they had something for PC use. This appears to be only for other devices.

    I see PC use if you scroll down on the main Photo page, hopefully this direct link will work for you:

    https://www.amazon.com/b/ref=s9_acss..._i=13234696011


    If the link doesn't work go to the main page scroll down to the picture of the laptop and click on the laptop photo, it should you take you to a computer download.
