What’s everyone using for storing and posting pictures?

I haven’t posted for a while and photobucket doesn’t seem to be working anymore. Thx

I’ve had similar issues.
Now got Tapatalk app and use that for photos. Bit of a pain but it works.

Anything I have tried is too tedious with too many steps.
Definitely has affected my photo contributions.

Pre iPhone, apple would have included that functionality as standard.

I’ve been using imgur which makes you jump through hoops to get the codes. Pain in the butt but it’s been working for me since the photobucket issue.

Tapatalk makes it easy and seamless, so I use a paid version of tapatalk ( no ads).

However the problem is, there is no one album that your pictures are stored in for future reference. The only way to find and access your uploaded pictures is to go back to your original post(s) and edit/ view the hyperlink to the specific picture.

Tapatalk is the most seamless. No resizing is required and I simply use the photo albums I create on my phone and upload directly from there.

Photobucket works fine if you are willing to pay for the service. I switched over to their cheapest plan a couple of years ago. It's going away at the end of 2018 at which point I will either upgrade of go with some other approach. The same thing happened with imageshack a few years back. Transfering a collection of images to a new site will be hard. Seems that free cloud storage is going the way of the Do Do.

I had photobucket for many years. Switched to Imgur. Very simple and loads fast.

I'm using Microsoft OneDrive. You get 1TB of storage if you have an Office 365 subscription.

Image Size app with the iPhone someone suggested to me and that's what I use. Can take a photo with it or resize one from your library. Pretty easy to use

i use google pics , great for storing and sharing in general , it syncs with IOS quick and reliable although it doesn t work properly with sharing pix on forum like TRF , the pic appears then disappears back and forth so for sharing I prefer tapatalk.
BTW if anybody has any idea why google pix works like that pls share it ,
thanks

Never understood why anyone ever feels the "need" to store their pics for personal use anywhere else except their own computer. Especially if your paying for the service.

I thought that a photo hosting service was required to post photos on (most) forums.

Flickr has zero ad interference like pb had..
Easily linkable options and I've never had hosting issues like you seem to get on Shutterfly/imgur

Flickr A++
