Photo Sharing/Storage Websites

[fishyspringer]

Hello,

I am starting to get quite the collection of photos. I am looking for opinions on photo sharing/storage websites. Which ones do you guys use and which one do you feel is the better one? I will be using it for another source to back up my photos, to share photos with family and friends, and to print photos.

Thanks for your help!

I've been using Smugmug for a number of years now, going on at least 8 or 9 I believe. I have both professional and personal sites with them. They have different tiers based on what you need for your uses. It also allows you a storage option that is off site. All of my work is backed up in numerous different places. I have off site, on line, a server that runs from my home, external drives and DVD's in addition to my machine drives. A bit of overkill but I would recommend at least three different methods of backing up your work. Off line, external drives and possibly your drives in your computer.

Thanks Dbl. My plan right now for backups is external hardrive, DVD disks, and an online photo sharing/storage site. Also probably keep them on my PC's local drive. So far I'm deciding between snapfish, smugmug and shutterfly.
