Deciding on a photo hosting service

I am getting way too lazy for my own good. After my latest trip I now want to share my photos with friends and family, and I am trying to decide how to easily to this. And since I couldn't really decide on what I need, I decide to list (mostly for myself) what I am looking for in a photo sharing service.

  • ability to upload original images, so people can download and print photos at decent quality (12M resolution to be allowed)

  • decent space available - my average photo size is 5MB

  • organize photos in albums, many albums

  • privacy - I certainly do not want to make all my photos visible to the whole world

  • ability to share with non-account holders - I want to be able to send an email with a link to the album and not impose on my relatives to have to sign up for yet another service they may or may not need


I will be trying out the two big players - Picasa and Flickr in the coming days and update this post with my findings.

It sounds (and is) pretty simple, but what it does in the background is caches your Microsoft Account credentials. Since your local user account had no password, it wasn’t eligible for RDP use even if it has appropriate permissions otherwise. After supplying the password and pressing Enter, you’ll know it worked if you see the About Windows dialog box open. Go ahead and close it and the...
