content: Hello, I like posting mostly electronic-related photos online for everyone to see without a need to sign in. In 2012 or so i founded my GooglePicasaPhotos account.https://get.google.com/albumarchive/106264218831814439783?source=pwaIn 2016 or so it was screwed up! You must sign in to see new photo albums.:-(No longer I can publish any photos in this "archive". But at least they never deleted my photos. They are still available...So in 2016 I established my Flickr account.https://www.flickr.com/photos/korytnackaseven/albums/with/72157680936093373But it will be screwed up in 2019.https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/1/18051950/flickr-1000-photo-limit-free-accounts-changes-pro-subscription-smugmugQuoteWhat should I do? I still want a free non unpaid "international" photo gallery.Can you please recommend me an alternative for Flickr?What abouthttps://www.zonerama.com/?I put up with a 15GB limit. Photos can have some compression. 8Mpix per photo is enough for me.

content: Does ithaveto be free?I think free options are always going to be quite restrictive.Would having your own webserver/domain for a few pounds per year be viable? That way the photos can easily be accessed by anyone with no need for a login, and no need for ads.

content: OK, I made an Imgur account.https://imgur.com/user/Korytnacka7But I do not like it much. It will be probably OK for posting like 20 photos gallery of a teardown or something. But not so great for 100+ photos albums!So I made another Flickr profile.https://www.flickr.com/photos/korytnacka77/I hope it is legal and they will not delete my less than 1000 photos.Zonerama.com is strange, you cannot enlarge photos while exploring them...

content: Quote from: Hydrawerk on November 19, 2018, 06:00:58 pmNot sure how accurate that number is, they were doing large cleanups recently (plus it says 25000active userswhich isn't quite the same thing as all users). They also went through ownership changes recently with the original company going out of business, now the site is community owned by a small non-profit.iPernity has been around for 10+ years. I have moved there during the first major Flickr exodus in 2009 or so when Yahoo started to censor the Flickr photo content in fairly hamfisted ways and never looked back. I have hundreds of photos there, no problems at all.You don't get millions of fancy features there but you don't get any of the profit seeking BS common on the other sites neither - tracking, ads, claiming rights to your pictures, having to pay extra for every little bit of functionality.

content: http://tinypic.com/More than ten years now, and still running. Not sure about how much space they offer. I keep there just a few pics, mostly for online posting.
