I just set up Drive. Looks nice and clean and simple so far. Cheers big gun!

Any suggestions on a good site?

I use Imageshack, which is much the same as Photobucket. But I find it easier to use. Cost $2 USD to use. But I like it's layout. Dropbox is another winner for me. I take a pic anywhere with my phone and I can access the pics from my laptops or pc at home without plugging a single thing in.

It would always blend my photos together making it annoying to find the latest uploaded. Crazy slow to open and even slower to upload. The interface isn't very user friendly and I just think there has to be better out there

With Imageshack you can create folders and also view photos by file size, date etc etc.

Hey Krisso, how do you get photos from Drive to show here?

Think I have it set to share. The problem is when I try to paste URL it says invalid URL

I've found that the Google Drive URL's aren't very stable. From previous experience, Drive permalinks aren't strictly permanent. www.imgur.com is the best image hosting website that I've used.

Hey Lucas, the links will not work in the forum as they don't have the correct extension(jpg,etc) Drive is more for cloud storage of stuff but not that great for putting pics onto forums.
Nothing to do with being unstable and the links will never change unless your folder structure changes within drive.

Good idea. He seems to be slacking off a bit lately

When your looking at a picture in google drive, right click it and press copy link location, does that give you a direct link to the image?

Can you show me a link to a drive photo?

Ill make it work....I think...lol

Thanks mate, ill check it tonight when I get home...give us an hour.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/2e...XzZ=w1256-h803

So did you just paste url link or save it and then inserted the image??

Just right click on the photo and select "Copy Image URL"

When you "Insert Image" "From URL" right click and paste

UNTICK "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" then select OK

Thanks mate. When I'm in drive and right click the photo I get no options to copy image URL If I click on the link I posted above then I get that option when I right click. weird

Ok, just worked it out!!

I have to click "open" when i'm in the viewer mode, then I get the option to copy image url.


Lucas, can you try
