What photo hosting site do you use?
« on: August 22, 2012, 11:14:48 AM »
I was just wondering which photo hosting site some of you use. Over the years I've accumulated accounts at a few different sites because one never seemed to have all of the features I've needed or wanted. I want to consolidate and and looking for input about which one you use and why. Let me know your thoughts.

Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

I use PhotoBucket because it's free, easy to use, and I can resize photos easily.

Resizing is the one thing I seem to have trouble with when it comes to PhotoBucket. Otherwise I like that site. I must be doing something wrong.

used to use imgur or imageshack

Not a photo-site per se, but I use DropBox, which can host any type of file. I only use it for hot-linking so I don't need any bells and whistles.

Interesting! I hadn't thought of that. I have DropBox. I'll have to check out linking picks from that.

Bear, do you know of a way to link it via a mobile device? Right now I'm on an iPad but I'm having trouble testing this. Have you had success trying it on an iPad?

Yes. Any file in any folder under the Public folder can be hot linked.

Log into your Dropbox account in Safari, navigate to the file you want, and click-hold until the context menu appears. There will be an option to copy the link to the file to the clipboard.

Thanks for sharing this info. I am a photobucket user myself. I did not know that you can resize pictures on photobucket. I have had a lot of trouble in the past posting pictures to my profile becuause of the size problem. Wish I was more of a computer  techy but I am not. It is out of my comfort zone.
