Now Photobucket joins the ranks of the sites which are charging for storage. You can still have a free account, but as with all the other sites, the amount of storage and bandwidth is severely limited. Seems like every time I get most of my photos stored on a site, they do this and I have to find another one.
Anyone know of another free site?
 
Any idea how much storage/space you get? I just added a ton of photos for my TR and am worried about getting cut off.
 
I'm perfectly happy paying Flickr $20 a year or whatever it is - not only storage, but editing tools, community groups to meet new people (a bunch of us from the area meet up once every month in a different location for a photowalk and share ideas, very cool). It costs money to store all of that data, I don't blame them for wanting to charge. If you ran out of space on your home computer you'd have to spend money to buy a new hard drive - they have to do the same thing, only for many millions of photos = bigger costs for them.
 
Can you post photos here on the DIS from Flickr? I didn't think you could?
 

I can't recommend smugmug strongly enough, you get unlimted storage, easy links for posting, you can secure your photos to varried levels, regular back ups. No ads.

Just $39.95/year (Why not free?)

That's for the standard account. And if you use this code HJwjORAaIC4PY you can save $5 off the first year. There is a free trial to see what you think.

Free storage is going to go away, it costs money to buy the diskspace, and they are no longer making enough on the advertising to keep things free. Pick a good company and go with it.
