If you don’t want to sacrifice any image quality, you can use your Google Drive allotment to store the original images. If you use Google Photos (the app), however, you can store an unlimited number of images which are capped at 16 megapixels of resolution, which is plenty, even if you want to make prints of your photos. Your Google account comes with 15 GB of storage that goes towards housing your documents, photos, and Gmail. Google’s AI-powered search does a good job finding what you’re looking for in your library-most of the time.
Flickr’s groups can provide a good place to interact with other photographers who share your interests, or even get feedback on your work if you’re trying to improve your camera skills. While the Flickr community isn’t nearly as robust as it was in the late 2010s, it’s still one of the best options if you want interaction with your photos instead of just a storage warehouse for your pictures and videos.

He added: “Yahoo lost sight of what makes Flickr truly special and responded to a changing landscape in online photo sharing by giving every Flickr user a staggering terabyte of free storage.”įlickr says just three per cent of free users have more than 1,000 photos stored on the site. “This caused a significant tonal shift in our platform, away from the community interaction and exploration of shared interests that makes Flickr the best shared home for photographers in the world.” “The free terabyte largely attracted members who were drawn by the free storage, not by engagement with other lovers of photography,” Mr Stadlen wrote in a blogpost. Yahoo eventually sold the company to SmugMug, a US based photo sharing website, in 2018, which is trying to turn the platform into more of a community.
