I always upload all of my photos straight to facebook to store them there. However I've realised that if my facebook account was to be hacked I could lose all my photos
Is there a website where I could quickly upload a facebook album to and store there? I don't really want that many pictures on my laptop because it would slow it down.
Thanks for any help

That is 100% wrong unless you are incredibly close to running out of disk space.

Download picasa and upload them to google - you get 2gb of space if you need more than 2gb, then you can get an extra 20gb of space for $5 a year. The benefit of this is that you can decide if you also want to keep copies on your machine. I also use that space to back-up documents that I want to keep copies of.

True, but storing them on the laptop means that they are just one step away from total loss when the hard drive eventually fails, as it will. By all means keep them on the laptop,disk space permitting, but archive to DVD or to an external hard drive.
As long as you've still got about 15% free space, your laptop will run fine.

But note (as my daughter found out after using snapfish to upload pictures she took while travelling) that if you want to retrieve the hi-res version of pictures from snapfish they charge you.

There are loads of cloud storage facilities out there, from dropbox, to ubuntu one, to adrive, to Amazon S3.... there are hundreds of them. They are relatively cheap... and the larger ones such as Dropbox and Amazon arent likely to fail and shut down

I find google is the best because the storage is shared between whatever apps you use and is on top of free storage. So if you buy 80gb from google ($20 a year), then your gmail account will only use some of that space when it uses the free 7gb you get with a gmail account, the 2gb you get with a picasa account, the 5gb(??) you get with docs etc.

Plus as an android user, the integration is fantastic.

true. Picasa/Google is good as well

Photobucket's now doing free unlimited image hosting (don't know if they've changed/removed the size limits)

I agree- and if money's an issue I'd recommend checking out Adrive first as it's got 50 Gb free - biggest free service I know of. Takes a while to upload stuff though and there's not many frills. You can't have too many backup sites!
