A quick GAOTD search came up with only scattered comments about where to store photos on-line for FREE (at least at a BASIC level) as well as links just to individual pix on storage sites. Please add more hosting site links and/or concise detailed reviews, or links to on-line reviews. (preferably of FREE hosts, thankew). Credit Maizey for helping to get things rolling (in no particular order):
Wikispaces: Billed as a place to "Create simple web pages that groups, friends, & families can edit together"
Divshare: Billed as "the best tool on the web for storing and sharing your media and documents."
ImageShack: online media hosting
Photobucket: "Where millions upload and share their photos and videos."
Flickr: Tagline- "Share your photos, Watch the World" but also known as, "The most misspelled word on Google... except maybe Goggle." Flickr and Yahoo teamed up (you knew that couldn't be good news) and a year later, those inept Yahoo techs still can't figure out a way to link photos to profile pictures. At least they killed the bug that opened private photos to the entire world.
Grovestreet: Tagline- "Welcome to the Internet's Smartest Photo Album" It's been around quite awhile. Unfortunately, smartest doesn't mean easiest. Navigating this site is akin to being blindfolded in an Amazon rainforest with a broken GPS, a blind legless guide and a wildly spinning compass.
Mediamax: "Gives you a private and secure place to upload, store, access, and share your personal videos, photos, movies, music, and files... Get 25 GBs of FREE online storage."
Topsecret: Proudly hosting a whopping 157 images since 2006. What the site lacks in polish may not be compensated for by the overreaching claims of Mihalism Multi Host, so irreplaceable or sensitive photos might best be stored elsewhere. Tip: the uploader is located on the home page, adding nuisance nav steps. They're joined at the hip with Freeimageparking and an X-rated site that sees about as much action as a Reno casino after a Richter magnitude 9.3 quake.
4shared: Upload, access, share your music, video, photos... single file or entire folder. Get 5 GB of FREE space.
Glowfoto: A "social network linking people by the photos documenting their lives; a great place share photos and build a network of friends, OR to host images for other sites like MySpace, eBay, blogs and message boards." They also automate Geotagging.
YouTube VIDEO storage: Tagline- "Broadcast Yourself" Since YT's homepage offers no substantive info unless you sign up, glean what you will from the uploader page.
If you're the beta tester type, visit TEST TUBE, YouTube's "ideas incubator" where "YouTube engineers and developers test out recipes and concoctions that aren't quite fully baked and invite you to tell us how they're coming along."
Imagecave: "Free Image Hosting - unlimited bandwidth and direct linking"
Shutterfly: Linked to Target stores and Martha "Tax Crone" Stewart, you can apparently join free and get 25 FREE 4x6 prints; but in return, you'll likely pick up on the heavy-handed commercial product marketing presence on this site.
