Is there a good alternative for hosting pics now that Photobucket has screwed us?

Wish I had a good answer for you.  You can host photos of your cars and garage here on our gallery, but as for hosting large amount of personal photos I do not know anyone that has taken over for PhotoBucket.

Google Drive will give you 15 gigs for free.  Free is always a good price.   :D  It's a little more work but there is a way to share those photos on your google drive too.  Maybe not the best solution, but a solution until something better comes along.  :alan2cents:

With as few of words as possible can someone explain the "photo hosting" site?
I started a Flickr page years ago at the start of my project to allow a fast, easy way for friends and family to chart progress of my project. It's worked really well for my purpose
Thanks to anyone who can explain the advantage/disadvantage of the two.

Isn't Flickr a picture hosing site?  I have all of my pictures backed up on my home computer and a flash drive so I don't use a picture hosting site for backup.  The advantage of having them on a hosting site is that I can access them from any computer.  I post a lot from my work computer so having them available where ever I am is the advantage.  Also, I can post as many pictures to 1 post as I want.  Websites have a limit to how many pictures you can attach to 1 post.

I'm now using Postimages.org

OK, so Flickr is the same as photobucket or one of the others mentioned. I guess I was never that curious and thought photobucket was somehow different.

Biggest thing I notice with Photobucket is I can rarely see a photo people post from there

Thinking of trying imgur, article say used on Reddit quite a bit, that's a pretty good size site.

Thing I miss about Photobucket going away is the ease of just copying a link to add to websites.
It's a pain to have to upload an actual file and not practical from cell phone.
