Felis, do you upload pictures via Google? I'm looking for a alternative to Photobucket, but I have no idea where to look.
At the moment I am still using Picasa, but this will be gone from May too (like Mejuba already for some time). Google Photos, which Google proposes as their (apparently better) choice for photos, unfortunately is completely unsuitable for sharing pictures in a forum. They don't provide links and they don't supply the links from Picasa once you start using G Photos. They don't even offer an album structure, sort photos according to a system only known to them.
Right now I am a bit at loss, because I have stopped using the bucket for a good reason, and the reason is still valid, more than ever. I am looking around now for months already, but what I need is not available.
Flickr is coming up as the substitute in the "community", but firstly I have left them once already before when they suddenly restricted, asked for money and ended up deleting half of my albums because I did not want to pay. Second thing is, you don't get an account without joining Yahoo first and then providing them with a mobile phone number (and you need one to receive a key to open the account), and I refuse to provide any of those places, Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Flickr and whatnot with my mobile phone number. Already they have again started making some service fee-based, and if they are monopolist, because Google Photos will never be as accepted as Picasa was, they will surely start with more such things.
