    If you have a Google account, you also get to upload photos that you can then create links for posting. I have only one so far on my account, but find it hilarious:



    The only reason I know this works is because I used it in an earlier post after killing my Facebook account and had no way to share personal photos or photos from friends (as in this case). The one issue I had is that I had to put the photo in an album that is open to the public first.

    In regards to storage space, this is what is listed in the Google Photos Settings:

    Upload size for photos and videos uploaded on the web only

    High quality (free unlimited storage)
    Great visual quality at reduced file size

    Original (15 GB storage left)
    Full resolution that counts against your quota
    I don't know how this compares to Photobucket, but I hope it helps.

    Also, in regards to Dropbox, which I pay a pretty good penny for, I couldn't get a photo or video to embed on this post.

    Test one was creating a sharable link and trying to embed the normal way. Did not work.

    Test 2 was right clicking on the photo in dropbox and clicking copy image location...just like you would any other photo we post on here and embedding.

    Edit. Test 2 worked and was viewable on my desktop computer but when I try to view it in chrome on my phone it's not showing up. Might have something to do with the type of image it was. Or my 'smart' phone is just trying to keep me from seeing PLs mug on my phone.

    Not sure why you are doing that. You have to do that from your own Dropbox account. I was testing it to see if I could post a picture here from my Dropbox acct.

    FYI, we cannot see your pictures. They're just a broken link. You might be able to see them since your computer is connected to your Dropbox account. I had a similar issue with sharing my Google Photos until I made them available in a public folder.

    Hmmm...ok. SO my tests did fail. Thanks for the info.

    Edit....went back and logged into bisonville with a different browser and I cant see the photo now either. YOu must be right that the browser I was using was allowed to view them since my dropbox was logged in on the same browser.
