Photobucket will compress the images slightly. Better off with cloud storage like Dropbox

Amazon cloud, 5 gig free storage.

I use Microsoft Skydrive... I have my phone setup so that every time I take a photo/video, it automatically uploads it to my Skydrive account when I next have wifi. That means all of my photos are automatically backed up and available online any time I want them.

is it just me that really hates the new photobucket website ?
I find it really slow and clumsy


so much that I'm not using it at all now (after having it for 6+ years)

I have a samsung S3 phone which comes with a free 50GB dropbox account, regular account is 2GB i think). Phone auto uploads any photos and vids to my NAS and cloud when i come in the house.
