  • I use Flickr
  • Thanks for the suggestions
    Would I just tell people what the address is and give them all the same user name and password to upload the photos

    I hoping I can trust people not to delete photos
    Is there a limit on how large or how many you can upload

    Say 40 people uploading 100 photos is 4000
  • On photbucket you can create separate albums, and send the link to whoever you want. Photobucket can link up with most email service providers to access your address book.

    Photobucket and other online photo storage is good, but the free account have restrictions on file size. So if all your looking for is photo storage and to use the photos online then they are good. But if you want to print out some of these at a decent quality and size then not so good.

    Flickr (free version) size is 10mb but you can only do last 200 photos.

    If you are looking at 4000 photos, and for ease of upload then photobucket would be best. If your going to print some of, then best to get them to send you the original picture. Average size of pic from 12mp camera are high resolution is 5mb.

    use windows live sky drive, you get a 25GB limit and a 50MB per file limit you can tell your guests to make one photo album (or just a folder) for their pics. you are then able to download all the pics.

    but as with all the services if there are multiple logins from multiple locations it may lock you out for a short while for security reasons.

    the problem with the free version of flickr is that it limits the res of the photo to a puny size
  • you can try google picassa 1gb storage free.

    Dropbox allows you to store 2Gig (free) of data with a photo album and public links.
    You can of course upgrade the amount to a paid account.
