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.

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.

I am a PhotoBucket kind of guy.

used to use imgur or imageshack

Still do it at home with my old View Print program. Why not? O0

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.

Imgur and then I also back them up in the cloud w/Dropbox.

If other image hosting sites won't work. Try http://picuploaders.com (http://picuploaders.com) This is the one I am using now. No need to register.
