Storing pics onto Websites

Sam2005

I am planning to store some of our family pics onto the web so that our friends and relatives can view them. Can anyone suggest a reliable website for this purpose, preferably with more data storage??

I use Flickr, and it's excellent.

How much storage? 1-2GB free is easy, but if you need more storage you'll have to pay. I use smugmug.com which costs US$39/year but is excellent with unlimited storage and bandwidth. I have some public galleries for friends and family to view, but I also use the private gallery to store every single digital picture I have ever taken so that I never lose one due to computer crash. Right now I think I'm using something like 25GB on SmugMug.

SmugMug operate a referral scheme so new customers can get a discount on their first year and referrers get discount off their next renewal.

Google Picasa - it's excellent.

I second flickr - i have the pro account ($24 per year) for unlimited storage.

Facebook, you are pretty limited to size around 600 pixels square and everyone will need to have either an account or be given a sharing link, but unlimited storage for free.

Go sign up for a free account on Flickr.

With the free account, you're limited to 100 MB bandwidth a month and a max size of 10 MB per picture.

If you don't like it, no problem. You can try something else.

If you do, you can upgrade to a Pro account which removes the above restrictions for $24.95 a year (about £17).

Google Picasa isn't bandwidth limited, but the free account is only 1Gb of space, but you can purchase chunks of additional space for not a lot more.

But as Marty says, these are all free, so signed up and try.

Or use Google and search for others. The two best are Flickr and Picasa - you won't find anything better.
