Which online photo site?

[Tiggeroo]

My dh has a ton of photos on several pc's and his phone. Which online site is best for storage, organizing and printing? If you put them on an online site can you still just print them from your own pc?

I am very loyal to Snapfish. I have used them for years but I never print my own pictures at home. I always order from them. They're good to me and I have no complaints.

it all depends on what you want to do with the pics and what you want to spend, if you want to share with family and friends online is a good way to go, once online you can't print on your home printer unless you download the file to your pc again..

just for storage organizing and printing, why not just get an external drive to put them on

Another Snapfish fan here. I don't print my own photos, but have used both Snapfish's regular delivery as well as their "print and pick up at Walgreens" service.

No complaints here

Hope that helps,
Laura

I have used photobucket for a LONG time and loved it, but they recently "revamped", and I really don't care for the new setup. It's FAR more confusing than it used to be. I will probably be shopping for a new place in the near future, since I have T O N S of photos and artwork that I need a site to store.

Depending on your needs, Picassa and SmugMug are the best in class for photo storing and sharing.

Some things to consider are the resolution that is stored and availability of those images. Snapfish can and will downgrade images over 9 megapixels. You want a site that preserves your image exactly, and allows you or those you share with the ability to retrieve those images in their original size.

Unlimited storage, video storage, and sharing and privacy controls are also items to consider.

Picassa is free with some unique limitations, namely in ability to password protect shared files in multiple ways. Smugmug isn't free, but at $40 a year you get a lot of nice extras that may not be too exciting for the average person.

I use smugmug and love it. My main concerns are online storage, I want my pictures backed up and protected exactly as they are on my hard drive now. I also want to share pictures securely with just one password and no logins or memberships to join for family. Basically, can my mother in law go to one address and enter one password and have access to all our pictures and videos we choose to share.
