Default What comes after Dropbox?

I've been using Dropbox quite satisfactorily, for several years, to
provide links to photographs I want to post to the Internet. Now they
have changed the way they work and I am not atll satisfied with either
the way they work or what they seem to do to images.

I have one image which I have been trying to post in response to an
article by Savageduck in which we were discussing a collection of
landscape photographs. All I can manage with Dropbox is coarse
fine-detail and obvious color banding in the sky.

I know there are various ways in which I can replace Dropbox but it
will take me a long time to explore them all. I would be grateful for
any suggestions as to the best way I can go about replacing Dropbox.


I use Dropbox for business and it's perfect for that. It was never
meant to be a photo sharing site. It is, at heart, a file sharing site.

I uploaded some short videos to it and if you play them back from their
site the result is horrible. So I have to tell people to DL the file
from Dropbox and then play it.

But such represents 1% of my Dropbox use.
