Best free host for a few photos?

#1

Post by mojo84 »

Any recommendations? I only want to use if for a few photos that I want to link to on here and other forums. I already have all my photos backing up to Carbonite but I need somewhere to store the ones I want to link to.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. If they are about all the same, letting me know that would also be beneficial.

Thanks!

I use Dropbox for all my forum posting photos. Works great for that and transferring large files.

I use Photobucket. It was recommended to me years ago and it's the only one I have any experience with.

It seems to work well:

Interesting misterlarry. I already use dropbox for my business. I didn't think about it because I am very protective of it due to having business files on it. Is there a chance that link could be used by a hacker to get access to other files?

Thanks both of you for your feedback.

My airshow thread with all the pics is hosted at photobucket. I also included a link to the album with more pics. Ads can be annoying.....
