    Lightbulb Advice needed regarding more photo storage!

    G'day Trendsetters,

    I am seeking advice regarding photo storage options for sharing photo's for the Patrol forum members.

    I am currently using Photobucket, however, i received the following from Photobucket below;

    "Hello, RLI1!

    Thank you for using Photobucket to upload, create and share your Stories!

    We've noticed you've used 91% of your storage. As you approach your free storage limit, we'd like to introduce you to Photobucket Plus. Get the storage you need to continue to store & edit your photos in their original size and resolution.

    • Get up to 22GB of storage
    • Continue to upload your photos in original size and resolution
    • Continue with easy editing tools


    Now they want me to take out a payment plan. I only use the facility to share photos for our forum members to help them with build mods. If i have to pay to share info, then i will not post anymore photos. I am doing them a favor as they make money from advertising.

    I am seeking advice if there is any other way or another alternative in which i can up-load photos to the forum.

    On the Navara forum, it was easy to up-load photos and you did not need to go through Photobucket.

    I have over 200 more photos to load up, including a photo manual that i have just produced for forum members regarding the GU 4.2 injector pump. I have also many photos to show members how to tune there 4.2 turbo diesel engines.

    PS, i await your advice.

    Regards,

    RLI

    You can upload Photo's to the Forum from your Computer.

    When Posting go to advanced and click on the Paper Clip Symbol which will allow for you to select the Pics on your Computer and upload direct to the NPF

    Takes a while but it works

    If you click on the attached photo it will enlarge and if you click again it will enlarge further

    Also have a look at dropbox mate. Been using it for a while. Does all files too not just photos and it syncs everything between phone, PC or whatever other device you link it to.

    If you are only using it for photos you post to the forum, stick with the free ones. Most of them require one email address per account.

    If only you had another email address...
