I'm looking for experience with sites or apps that we can use to help share pics from One Lap here while on route.

Basically, I want to be able to upload pictures from my phone to a cloud somewhere, then be able to copy the image address from those pictures so I can post them here.

Today I tried google photos and Amazon prime photos, neither will do what I'm looking for apparently, or I just haven't figured them out.

Ideas?

Dropbox will do it. Easy upload and it'll give you a link, but you have to tweak it to show the picture directly instead of a link to the picture.

Change https://www.dropbox.com/s/xx5s4ubji6tofs4/Photo Mar 04, 22 12 05.jpg?dl-0

to https://www.dropbox.com/s/xx5s4ubji6tofs4/Photo Mar 04, 22 12 05.jpg?raw=1

And it'll hotlink just fine.

If you don't mind paying for it - smugmug.com is awesome.

WordPress is wonderful. It'll upload your media to your WordPress site and put the URL in your clipboard with minimal effort.

Most of my pictures are on Photobucket and I have no problem putting them here. Dropbox also works.

I don't ever have any problems with photobucket, many do though...probably cause no one is looking at my pictures

Photobucket is my go to hosting site, and I link a ton of pictures. I pay $30 a year to get rid of adds, for extra bandwidth, and 30 gig of storage. Their mobile app does a pretty good job also. I've got 3-4 thousand images on there now.

Imgur is my go-to. Unlimited storage, dead-simple interface, fast, and accessible from everything.

Photobucket USED to be the best option, and still works well on a Laptop, but their mobile App is useless on the iPhone and not very good on other platforms.

I have looked and looked for a mobile app option that allows you to upload and then grab a link that works on this board, but none exist. The best you can do is having to grab and then edit code, pretty PITA.

Blast from the past. Thanks, Suddards for allowing hosting in the board.

I'm usually posting in multiple locations and uploading to multiple sites is a pain. I'd rather do it once and link it. My Photobucket account is still up and running fine but my primary host site has been Smugmug for several years. It's pretty flawless. 

You'll need to log in to post.
