The majority of my backup photos are on an external hard drive.

Risk taker. I wouldn't trust my photos on a hard drive any more.

Imgur (https://imgur.com/) for hosting photos for reposting.

Google Drive for backing up your personal futus.

Free and free.

Worst thing about Imgur is that it's got a limit. Google Drive has no limits for images under 2048x2048 pixels.

 

I just don't like the idea of having my personal images online. Once it's online, it can never be taken off the internet.

By default 4mb limit. Click Settings -> Upload in high res and it's fixed. Trust me you can get some super high res photos on imgur.

Re online photos: I've not put anything online I would regret the public seeing. For me the backup space and piece of mind I get from knowing my data is safe outweighs the NSA looking through my family photos. The Apple Cloud leak was unfortunate but we got to see Jennifer Lawrence's boobs out of it so it wasn't all bad.

I already eaten dinner but damn this makes me hungray.

I don't mean single file limits, I'm talking about Imgur accounts in general. Don't they have a limit on how many photos you can upload to one account?

 

Apple Cloud leak was awesome.

 

I've got my photos saved on multiple external hard drives, so there are about two or three copies at any given time. I don't like uploading/hosting personal photos. The ImageShack and Photobucket accounts I've got have just been used since I started using the internet pretty much. I've got so many photos on them and want to stop paying the monthly fee for ImageShack. It's pointless if there are free options, and Google Drive looked most promising.

Maybe I wasn't clear. Hosting photos and backing up photos are two different things.

Hosting the odd photo here or there for the purposes of posting them I use imgur.

Backing up my personal photos (for noone to see) I use GDrive.

You could have 100 hard drives - other than being totally unmanagable to back things up that way they are still prone to failure. I even have an app that starts uploading my photos from my phone to my Gdrive as soon as I take the photo.

I get you. Can you host photos to share publicly using Google Drive (just that photo, not anything else in that folder/album)?

 

So what you're saying about Imgur is that there is no limit as to how many photos you can have on there? You don't have to pay for additional storage space, etc?

 

I just found this; http://imgur.com/blo...o-for-everyone/.

 

Looks like I'm phasing out Photobucket, removing my subscription with ImageShack and moving to Imgur permanently. It's gonna be a long process moving all of my already hosted images over.

Because I know how to google questions...from their help page.
 

Q. How many images can I upload?

A. Infinity images can be uploaded from a single user, and you can store unlimited uploads in your Imgur account!

Beat me to it. Ha ha, all good. Thanks Alex.

Re: hosting images for forum posting on Gdrive - I believe you can but I prefer to keep them separate.

[Liberty]

Sweet as. Thanks mate. I appreciate the help.

Any Netflix'ers -- cop a few episodes of Daredevil. They just posted 13 episodes of the new Marvel/Netflix made series.

Pretty damn good so far.

I'd say that's more of a billboard than a poster.

That's gotta suck. Still probably easier to replace than large size mid 90s AF1's though.
