Subject: Question: Commodity for oddity
1. Well... strictly speaking it's a service that I am looking for, but in
a way so that it's a commodity...
I'd like to ask if some PDMLers might have some suggestions for something
that I am not aware of.
I am looking for a free photo-hosting service that we allow two things:
(1) convenient viewing and (2) private sharing via private URLs of
photos taken by my daughter with the family member.
And, potentially displaying some selected photos publicly.
In principle, a free Flickr account could be sufficient. ... but Flickr
now requires using a cell-phone number to activate a new Yahoo account,
and it refuses to accept a Google-voice number that I am using if I am
forced to share my cell phone number.
I've just learned about "Thislife" [now] by Shutterfly. But I cannot
figure out if there it is possible to create galleries that can be shared
via a private URL, while keeping all photos private otherwise.
Has anybody tried them?
2. While searching for possible solutions, I was ... not surprised, but in
a way amused by what some pundits write.
I well realize that I am far from a "main-stream" user of many things,
especially when it concerns pop-culture related to modern technologies.
But even with that in mind, ...
E.g. http://beebom.com/2015/08/flickr-alternatives :
"While it does offer unlimited uploads, Google Photos compresses your
images if they exceed the 16 MP mark. That would be a bit disappointment
for professional photographers looking to upload high-res images to this
network."
While I see somebody using some cloud storage as a backup or online
storage tool, but not for sharing purposes. Maybe it's just me, - but I am
not seeing any professional photographer "looking to upload [more than
16MP images] to this network".
I wonder what other PDMLers think.
Cheers,
Igor
