What is a good way to archive digital photos on the internet?

Question

I had a yahoo! photos account, and thought it was a safe and convenient way to keep my digital photos safe. I move around alot and don't want to loose them. Just recently I found out that Yahoo Photos is closing down and will delete all pictures. I want a better way to store my images, the online version is my back up copy. Is there a way to store my images on a personal website etc?
Are there any other options?

Answer 1

Most folks would tell you to join one of the many "free" photo groups like Snapfish, Webshots, Club Photo, there are many of these. But if and when they make a change, you are then forced to download them back to your computer or lose them altogether. That's not a very convenient archive.



Your best bet is to create your own FTP site or, better yet, move the photos onto your own disc or portable HD.

Answer 2

In general, any free online service is not as reliable as a paid service.



I have a lot of digital images myself which I have stored and backed up on different media but to rely on the internet as your main storage is not a good idea.



DVDs are cheap only one DVD will enable you to put 4.7GB of pictures on it, it's also very easy to carry around when traveling

Answer 3

Library

Answer 4

www.esnips.com - it is free and u can store anything in this website. it gives u lot of free space even.



try it out.



if u think even this may shut down in the future, then u please go for a personal website and store all of your pictures there.



good luck.

http://www.flickr.com/ --->check it out!, u won't be disappointed...

also,apart yahoo, google has own on-line photo albums, but it's got rather small size...it is included in its gmail service and supports its picasa soft for basic editing (which is, BTW, free to download)

Answer 7

flickr is awesome. you can get a limited free service,

but the pay service is not very expensive and is so

worth it...
