I have a group at groups.yahoo.com. But i didn't enjoy YahooGroupsPhotoAlbum.Coz it's resolution was 480 x360 and there was an storage limit. So i'm looking for anyother way to share my photos with my friends. There are 40 friends in my group. It's impossible to send the invitation to see my photos. So i'm looking for the best photo sharing site wich supports group sharing. I tried flickr.com it was good. But you know 200 pix limit was not cool. My asking is, "Is there anysite supports group sharing so that every member can upload and every member can see it?"
If the flickr.com is the best one you can recommend me the flickr.

I know that Walmart photo center offers group photo rooms so that you can share your picture with other people. You can also order prints from there too...

Winkflash is also a pretty good service too and you can share your photos on their website. If your friends have Facebook, you can authorize them to be able to print photos that you post up on there. You can create a facebook group and post pictures there. That's another convenient way to do it, since pretty much anyone can register for Facebook now that it's not limited anymore to college kids alone.

Hope that helps!

Best,

Have you tried photobucket? I know it's more of an image hosting site but it advertises a sharing option. I use it to store a lot of my images, and I have yet to reach their space limit. If the sharing option is not what you're looking for, you can always use it as an image host and then you and all of your friends could just have access to the account. This is the easiest way I can see sharing photos on the web. Unless you're willing to join some sort of website like myspace or facebook.

Hope this helps, good luck on your search.

Mostly all of my friends have a Facebook profile, it is absolutely awesome! I use Facebook to get pictures off of. I do recommend that if your friends have Facebook, and if they don't, tell them to sign up!

Flickr is a good choice also, it allows you to specify Creative Commons licenses for your photos, which in my opinion is a good thing for legal issues nowadays.

Hope this helps

Flickr is one of the best I've tried. And its amazing.. Uploaded all my 3000++ photos and never look back. Although I paid a yearly fee of $24, its worth it. Full resolution and looks of API which can be implemented in websites easier. Highly Recommand... Used sony imagestation and kodakgallery. Their paid service is not as good as Fickr.

[dewslat]

I also agree that flickr is the best so far. Image resolution is top notch. you can also invite friends and add them and such. unless you want a social something kinda site like www.myspace.com or www.friendster.com (about 800x640 resolution).. I suggest, if you dont have much files to upload, then host your own site to make it more personal to your taste. There are a lot of Free PHP PhotoAlbum scripts out there for your taking..

[wutske]

Flickr is good if you pay for it, the free version is limited to a certain amount of Mb upload per month and the number of photos you can keep is limited too.
If I where you I'd simply get a webhost and install Gallery on it

Also don't foget http://www.imagefilez.com/ , the link at the top left part of your forum screen.
The 3 megs per picture size (5 megs for free registrated users) is decent for picture needs.

I don't know if it is the best site, but I like how much can be done at a time. My sister sent me to Kodakgallery.com, and I started using it for myself. I haven't used it in a while, but I was able to upload up to like 70 or some at a time. It was a little tougher to send out links, because you have to uncheck the email send feature, so that people don't have to have people sign in or sign up to see your albums.

I wanted to keep a lot of my professional photos in order, and in a more professional feel, so I began to also use flckr. I would scan some of my work and post it up for now, until I put more usage into a professional website.

I guess either site works well for me. It would depend on what kind of photo I would want to upload to the web.

Yes, Kodakgallery is great. However, they would like you to sometimes order paper printing from them. And, if you spend too much time without paying for printing pictures, they simply suppress your account.
That's why, for sharing pictures, I use my astahost account, or I use free filesharing hosts.

Another site on internet for photo and Video sharing is photobucket

Photobucket is the most popular site on the Internet for uploading, sharing, linking and finding photos, videos, and graphics.

fotki.com
photobucket
photosite.com
myphotoalbum.com
ringo.com

[benfromsac]

Oh my God, I can't believe Smugmug.com hasn't been listed here!!! I have used all the free versions of previously mentioned websites and none of them left me feeling compelled to fork up the cash to upgrade to a basic package. Smugmug.com was designed by professional photographers who kept in mind that photography should be presented, not just displayed. Its totally customizable and flexible as well as affordable. Plus they've partnered up with a lot of real professionals who give great advice and suggestions for improving your photography... something you have to pay for elsewhere. Plus you get great discounts on equipment and accessories. Not only that, but all your work can be indexed by google, which is good because anyone visiting your smugmug page can BUY any of your photos. It has large active communities with wide ranging focuses. You can keep track of your stats to see which photos are popular and which ones aren't. You don't even have to be a pro!

I recently signed up for Photobucket and I think it is pretty decent. I still prefer Facebook though, it allows me to tag my friends

[Jezstarr]

I have used photobucket for a while now and it is my preferred site but there are plenty of other sites.

It is very easy to use also and fast uploading.

[MoonLightCity]

Flickr most likely

[cursosdeinglesml]

i think there is no better than flickr. if you want to use the photos in sites, boards and e-mails, you should go with imageshack, because it doesn't have too many limitations like bandwidth restriction...

[magiccode9]

This is another files hosting just found few days before.

Here is the features that it supported on free account.

• Free Account
• Unlimited storage
• Up to 100MB per file
• Unlimited uploads
• Unlimited downloads
• Unlimited bandwidth
• Image galleries
• No sign up required
• No software to install

And it's uploader is fully flash-based and very interactive.
But it is not convenience as photobucket because it mainly for files sharing.
