Anyone use Fototime for photo hosting?

Fototime was a paid site. Worked great for 20 years.....then POOF!.....GONE!

It must not have been many people using it because I have found very little discussion about it online. I found a little discussion here: https://watchintyme.com/index.php?threads/%F0%9F%93%B8-fototime-down.732644/page-3 That's about it.

Since the Fototime crash I have put some photos up on Google Photo.

Only happened ONCE to you?

You are indeed very lucky.

Myself, have lost PAID and even free online storage three times over the last 10 yrs. Never lost my files as I always keep backup copies off line but it is a irritation losing many hot links to forums that I would rather not try to go back, find and fix..

Online storage comes and online storage goes..

They go belly up, they decide they are not making enough revenue by hosting free storage with hot linking and then they change TOS with no notification..

If you are looking for free pictures and document hosting, just setup a GMail account, free version comes with 15GB of online storage and supports hot linking/sharing.

Just setup a folder in the online storage and you can set that folder for sharing without password, now all of the items you place in that folder are shareable and you can generate a hot link for each file or the entire folder.

So far, using Google drive has been the most stable way I have found to share photos and other files that hasn't gone away YET.

Another possible place is by subscribing to dropbox, not sure if you can generate a hot share link without password though..

If you receive no answers here you might try IRV2 and Escapees RV forums and likely one of those can assist you. Good luck

They are all backed up, but that ain't the problem. I have thousands of photo links on the web that are all dead now. Just like the fototime link in my signature. I used fototime for 20 years and never had an issue until a week ago.

Hope you have backup copies of all your photos as do I.

Never heard of FotoTime. I have had good luck without glitches using WordPress, Google photos and several Facebook pages that all allow me to use wordy narratives with each and many photos for free.
