My wife and I have been using Walgreens online photo storage.

https://www.walgreens.com/login.jsp

Unlimited photo and albums. Can save, sort etc. as Ben described. Easy enough to use and fits what we need. Never tried posting a direct photo link though.

Oldest son's first truck:
http://photo2.walgreens.com/walgreen...AME=walgreens/

Seems to work?

I dunno.. I pay the Photobucket fee, to have more storage.. and still get all the ****ty ads that jack it all up.

I guess you have to get the higher pkg...

Yeah, for the last couple of months, PB has sucked!

Do you guys having issues with photobucket run ad blocking software? I do and have wondered if the long delay when it seems like nothing is happening is because of my AdBlock app.

For what it's worth, once the initial long delay happens and whatever ad is in cue finally pops up...I can make it go away and then it all seems to work fine. it's just that initial delay when you are trying to post a quick picture up that is such a pain.

It's so cheap and easy to use, why beat your head against the wall? The pictures never move, they are easy to link and imbed, no ads, more importantly no waiting for ads to load, and a great app so the pictures are always available if I have a signal.

All of the for 3 bucks a month.......a dime a day.

I'd pay Smugmug long before I'd pay PB or any of the others...I just may look into that. Thanks Donny...

I've been using SmugMug for 6+ years now and have been very satisfied. No ads, no invasive up selling, good speed, great mobile access and uploading, no security breaches. Well worth the small annual fee IMO.

FWIW - I currently have 64,199 photos on their site.

If you're interested here's a discounted sign up link: https://secure.smugmug.com/signup?Coupon=achuJuglTx7pQ

So far it is fantastic... need to get to my laptop where the majority of my photos are stored to do some massive uploading...

Do you use the app on your phone to upload phone pics? and if so how clunky is it and what kind of resources does it hog?
