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.

Flickr is really all I've tried, but it seems good to me. I like that
a mouse click or two in LR gets the photos onto the site, processed
and sized exactly the way I want, and it will put them into the
correct, or new, album. The paid version is cheap enough that I can't
even remember the cost.

There is also Smugmug.

They're not in the LR list of publish services, so I would have to put
some actual effort into getting the photos to that site. I am lazy.
And with Flickr, after I upload, it's also a no-brainer to copy the
link to that album so I can share. No-brainers are a very good fit for
me...

Actually Smugmug is right there, ready to be used.
All you have to do is go to the bottom of the "Publishing Services"
panel and click on "Find More Services Online". There you will find all
sorts of services for fee and free. On page #3 you will find the free
"Official Smugmug Publish Plugin". Install it and restart LR and it is
as easy to use as the Flickr publish plugin. Another no-brainer.

I see. I looked there once before, but this time I selected LR, and
then I typed "publish" into the search box, and that narrowed things
down enough to actually find things.

OK. That's all very well, but why should I choose one over the other
(or not)?
