What photo sharing service do you use?

Photo sharing site

I use Photobucket, iCloud, Dropbox (I pay for 1TB) Google drive. My favorite is a paid site called Zenfolio, I can upload and share files easily, and control who gets the link, and can password protect galleries. I can also have them set so they are not searchable and only visible to those I share the link with. I am a pro photographer, and the cost is well worth it to me, since it also has the option of selling prints and files, and payment is made through he site. For the casual user, it is likely too pricey. I also have files backed up on drives and the cloud.

I too have used Photobucket for quite some time. The free service has deteriorated some lately. But it still works well enough for me. I've not tried the paid service. I used to use my Cox Cable free storage. But one day they just deleted all the storage accounts without saying anything. Poof! It was all gone. I guess it worked for them.

Someone here said that when they clicked on one of my photos that their browser froze up from ads from photobucket. I apologized that I was not aware, and then investigated and Yesterday Photobucket changed there policies for free accounts. The only way I can use them for third party hosting (meaning this website), Unless I subscribe for $39.99 a month or $399.99 a year They are nuts:barf: I could get ad free for $5.99 but would not be able to post photos here except for unless they are just thumbnail size. And you would get bombarded with ads........so sad. Will try to find another this weekend :banghead:

A caveat

Never upload to a photo sharing site without also keeping the original offline at home (on a drive, memory stick, CD or some kind of storage). Any online service, even iCloud or Google, has a risk of losing your data.

That being said, I use the photo site so that I can hotlink the pic on various forums that I participate, and share images outside of Facebook with ones who don't use social media.

So what photo site do you use? I have been trying all day to drop a photo in a thread I create without using i.e.: photosucket with no such luck.:banghead:




All my photos for the most part are in my iPhoto library and the iCloud,
but for the last ten years, all my photos have now been converted to this,

Why couldn't they just say from this day forward pay $40 a month, hope they get hit with a lawsuit that gets them to revert back opcorn:
