Alternatives to Photobucket

[Bramble15]

Good morning,

I am sorry if this is a rehash of what transpired a month or so ago with respect to Photobucket but I wanted to get opinions on the following. Looking for a free site that can do what photobucket did in the past. Host photos and allow me to link to Bennos.

Shutterfly
Google Drive

Please note that the use of any alternative would be solely used for photos of my miniatures. My wife has another system of sorts for family photos etc.

photoimage,is what i`ve been using since November 2016 using, `chrome', server!
Quite a few guys on the Forum now use it too. One can use it without even Signing Up,or Loging In.
If remaining invisible is ones aim. Free Posting is what one gets,and it is very quick and without irritating Adverts. BB

I have pictures at google drive, but I have no idea how to show them as pictures here. Tried and all that came up was links. Seems to be something called Imgur that some here use. Haven't tried that yet.

Imgur works much better for me than Tinypic ever did, and it's free. You do have to sign up for it though.

If you use Chrome or Firefox browsers see Fred G's post in this thread, there are patches that will allow you to see photobucket images that have already been posted (like your avatar).

I joined to give me another back up option for free posting,

My recommendation is Google photos. I have used in the past Imageshack, Minus, collector's sites uploaders, and some others, all have disappeared leaving me with my link images are broken. Don't let any promises blind you; all web hosting sites will disappear eventually leaving your work thrown to the rubbish.

So,considering highly unlikely that Google disappears (I think it is more likely that some small countries disappear rather than Google) Google photos is the best option.The only downside is that it is a bit slow to get the code link to paste it on forums.

What I recommend is; open an account with Blogger, create your blog, and then attach there your images the article, post it, and then copy the image url from there. This is what I now do for all my images. It also has the good extra that it will always be there,even if there is some problem with the forum where you post it.

I've tried Google Photos as it has unlimited storage. It's a little of a fiddle to get the url to post but hey! it's free.
We like free.
