Photo Storing Service

MusaZombie · 11-12-2017, 11:48 AM

I've used Photobucket for many years and have reached the point where I want to move away from them, so I'm curious what all of you are using to store & organize your photos of plants, family and everything else. I've been looking and experimenting with Irista, which is owned by Canon, a little bit and like what it has to offer

Here's a brief list of what I'm looking for. I'm not looking for a free service
1) Storage (GBs and GBs of space)
2) Albums - ability to organize photos into albums (sub-albums would be sweet!)
3) Photo tagging - ability to apply tags to photos to easily search across later
4) Format - I want to be able to upload Raw images

So, what are you using and love or what have you used in the past that you disliked?

Take a look at Flickr.
A bunch of forum members have gone to it .
It has eveything you are looking for and then some.
Pretty easy to use once you get familiar with the features

Click on Cincinnanas photos for an example

Third party hosting is good if that is what you want or need. ... Just remember those services can always go out of business; have system crashes with lost data; claim a right of unlimited use of your pictures; and change from free to paid service. Then ransom your pictures back to you at a fee. ... Then BIG BROTHER (aka: FBI) has easy access too if needed.

The point is, always keep your pictures backed up on you own system and/or CDs in case of loss by the hosting service ... My pictures are backed up on 3 different puters/HDs and CDs. ... None are illegal. ... And, I can access them from remote locations.

Also you can upload Raw images and tag.
And there is not really "censership" of photo opertunity.
Keyword any tag imaginable and low and behold......a photo has been posted.
Videos are welcome also....Lol

Pretty cool for a hosting sight....

I think the thing that madr me immediately wonder or have a second thought on Flickr was the fact that it requires a Yahoo email address

That being said, I'll take a look at it again
