Photo Sharing Sites
About 2 years ago I was looking for photo sharing sites and did not
find any that satisfied all my criteria but photos.yahoo.com came close and I settled on that. Well now they are closing and I need to move to another site. I would like a site that: 1. lets visitors download any photos on the site in _full_ resolution. 2. allows visitors to view the photos without setting up an account (its ok if pictures are publicly accessible to anyone). 3. has enough storage for 50 - 200 photos at full resolution. 4. is free. 5. a group of 20-50 people will be viewing photos there so the site should not have a limitation on downloads per day that is so small that a group of that size could not download or view the photos within a short time period. 6. is easy to move to from photos.yahoo.com . Apparently yahoo has made it easy to transfer photos to the following sites: Flickr, Kodak Gallery, Shutterfly, Snapfish, and Photobucket. I am not really familiar with any of them although I seem to remember that I did not use flickr because of #2 though its possible that that has changed in the last two years. Thanks. |

I had issues with flickr recently and found http://www.23hq.com/ They are great, and hit all of your points. |

I have had several recommendations of flickr and one of webshots and one of 23hq . Regarding 23hq it says there is an upload limit of 30 photos a month. Probably years can go by without any uploads but then I will need to upload a few dozen just after the group gets together so I should have added another criterion for that one but was not aware that there were upload limits on any sites so didn't think of it. Joan gave me a link which shows that it is possible to view flickr photos without signing up. I need to check that out as well as webshots. I assume that flickr may have an advantage in transferring photos from Yahoo photos since Yahoo owns both of them. Thanks. |

I already use picasa on my pc so this would probably be just as simple to move to as to flickr for me. You're right about the duh part. I should have thought of it from the start. I'll check it out. |

Phanfare will do everything you want -- except be free. It's about $50
a year, but a bargain in my opinion. And, if you get friends to become subscribers (or even people from a newgroup, hint!), you get a free year of service, so after the first year, it might even meet that requirement of yours. (I don't think any site can do all you want and not charge at all.) They've even added some neat things I wanted, that they didn't have at first, like the ability for a visitor (if authorized by the owner) to download an entire album with one click. |
