Ive been using photobucket for donkeys years now but it keeps 'upgrading' and is starting to get on my wick.. Its slow and clunky and im running out of space and it wants money off me..

Whats the best thing in 2015 to host your pics on that easy to post links from?

Time to move on I think....

I use Flickr, free version gives you 1tb of storage, limited for video but good for photos (jpg only). For,posting just copy the bbcode. Alsomhas vwrious levels of access including the ability to send guest passes over email so family cqn see locked pictures/albums. You can set up 5 levels of folders and also geeotag photos if you want. If you have a phone or tablet the app Dan automatically download your photos as a backup. Finally you can limit the size of downloads as well.

Hope this helps.

Flickr. It can be a bit cumbersome but it does the job.

I use flickr for stuff I want to keep
My phone sticks every photo I take on dropbox
And if I need to share something quickly/easily I use http://imgur.com/ (though they delete photos after a while)

If you're not wanting the fancy backgrounds and arrangement, you can set up and host your own image server/gallery on a virtual server with the likes of Digital Ocean. I host my own sites and images/videos/anything on mine for $6 a month, backed up.
