Photo Hosting recommendations

I need to do something. I use my iPhone for photos. I hear Photobucket is terrible.

Suggestions......

I use Photobucket but Photobucket monitors the bandwidth used to access their photos if you put one on a site so if you have a popular website that you post your Photobucket photos to, you may find the photos are not able to be accessed if they exceed the bandwidth usage until that resets.

Flicker just announced a terabyte of storage on their free accounts. I am not sure if they also have the bandwidth restrictions.

I use Picasa Web Albums, which is now the same as Google+ Photos if you've joined Google+. It's all free. If you agree to the size <=2048pixels (plenty big enough) then you get unlimited storage.
I have been keeping my pictures here since 2004.
If you install the Google+ App on your iPhone, there is a setting to automatically upload every photo to a private album.

I use Photobucket and have no issues with it. It works the same as it used to, just looks different.

I use Flickr. I am not happy with the new interface. It no longer allows me to change the layout of my photostream page. Other than that it works well enough however for me that may just turn out to be a deal killer as I need that ability. If they do not change it I too will be looking for something different and take them up on their refund offer.

This is also what I use, I also sell on eBay.

Five gigs of space isn't that much any more, not when pics can run several megabytes apiece. However, if you have software with which you can reduce the file size of the pics, you can get pretty far with that limitation.

How much space do you need? Dropbox would be the easiest. It will auto upload photos taken from your iPhone using their free app. You can then direct link any photo for use in a website, send in an email, etc. Your photos will also be auto transferred and synced to your desktop, notebook, or tablets with Dropbox installed. Using their automatic camera upload tool, you'll get a total of up to 5G of free storage space.

I will be checking that out. Thanks!

I have had photobucket since 2005. Was great to begin with now just opening the site you are bombarded with glitter type, gifs and teenage garbage. Then you have to wait for your site to open etc etc. And when you are on the road with broadband I don't have to tell anyone what a pain.

>>tinypix fast and easy and free and no downloads of anything required to get your IMG! :B

I do not see anything terrible about Photobucket,actually it serves the purpose quite well.

I use Flickr as well. There is a free version with a great deal of space or the pro version with unlimited storage for around $20 per year. They have a new interface which I like a great deal! The link in my signature is to my Flickr site.

I presently us Picasa but I am approaching the limits for free storage. I am now in the process of upload all my pictures to Flickr with the promise of a terabyte of storage.
