Printing Shutterfly offers several local options for users looking to create prints from their photos; you can have photos printed at your local Target, Walgreens or CVS. Cost Shutterfly is free with unlimited storage and free Share Sites, with the cost coming in when you choose to print your photos. Either one is good, really. Photobucket has unlimited storage even with the free version. Flickr has a limit to what you can upload each month and you are only allowed pictures total for the free version.

Just depends on what you want. Do any of these online storage sites store photos in the original size and allow them to be downloaded to my computer? Besides, you can always download your photos and backup them.

However, this service might charge fees. Thank You for posting this information. I have been on Flickr for years and love it but now want to add an additional site where I can sell some of my best images.

My take on all of this is simple…. If I sell some along the way then that is great! I can put that money back into the cost of a web site or camera equipment. I understand that I can register a. I think that Mejuba.

Hate all the restrictions on these sites — Mejuba is the only site where one can upload a video without thinking about the length or size of the video. Simply love that! We are not sponsored by any of this photo storages. Instagram would have to be the end all of image sharing now days. Sometimes I just upload touploadpic. These sites have great features — but are all too busy. I use inmyphotofolder. No limit to number of Photos or Folders.

Their PhotoSync application takes care of uploading pictures and folders — and it keeps your online Photos in Sync with your Photo collection on your computer. Add new folders, pictures, resize some, delete some, rotate others — and the photosync sorts out what needs to be uploaded.

Add a list of friends e-mail addresses to your account and when you Sync up your photo collection — the system will e-mail them with list of your new Photo Folders.

You can easily share photos via email or post to Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and other social media.

Play with fun options like digital slide shows and photographic effects, and turn your photos into physical prints and other customizable gifts.

A Shutterfly account is also completely free and offers unlimited photo storage. Create Share sites, secure personal web pages where you can share photos, videos and more with family and friends. Shutterfly offers a wide range of prints and other items that can be created using your photos, and visitors to your Share sites can, too. Snapfish also offers free, unlimited photo upload accounts plus the ability to create prints and gifts from your images.

Prints can be shipped directly from the site or picked up at many different stores, including Walmart, Walgreens and Meijer. Members can share photos or albums via email, but Snapfish doesn't offer integrated sharing via Facebook or Twitter. Which photo sharing service is right for you depends largely on how you plan to use it.

If you want to upload hundreds and hundreds of photos, Picasa's huge space offerings make it a great choice. If you want to be able to set copyright permissions and share with millions of other users, Flickr is an excellent option. If you'd prefer to upload one or two photos at a time on a customizable blog, check out Tumblr.

If your goal is to produce physical items and prints of your pictures, you might want to try Photobucket, Snapfish, or Shutterfly. If you just like to upload and share the occasional picture to your social media outlet of choice, Facebook and Twitter are incredibly popular.
