Other than the adware Photobucket allows on non-paying accounts, they offer more services on their free accounts than I've found in any other online photo storage that I've tested.

Imgur is very klunky to navigate (for me); butif what I've heard is true they limit the number of photos to 250 - and I found out today that they do not allow you to delete any photos you upload without emailing them for "Permission" and being approved !!! WTF?


Because of THAT policy, I am taking my business elsewhere from Imgur. I would rather pay Photobucket to keep the ads off my page than to use Imgur's free service as the owner of the photos has no autonomy there.

But before I fork over the dollars to Photobucket, is there anyone here who is totally happy with their online photo storage and would like to recommend it on here?

In the same respect, is there any online photo storage that you would like to warn everyone against using for whatever reasons they have given you to not use them?

I don't know if this is still an issue for you, and it sounds as though you are sorted, but if at some point you decide to explore other avenues, I find that Google Picasa works really well. In case you aren't familiar with it, here's a wiki page, and a snip from it below. smile.gif

It allows users with a Google account to store and share photos with an initial free storage offering of 15 GB, that is shared with Gmail and Google Drive. Storage is unlimited for photos of resolution less than 2048x2048 pixels for Google+ users, and for photos of resolution less than 800x800 for everyone else. Videos shorter than 15 minutes also don't count towards the limit. After the limit is reached, photos are automatically resized.

I've seen several people using this and liked what I saw (but also liked Imgur before trying to actually use it). Thank you very much! I will try it out!
