Re: Photo Hosting Site - Flickr or.....?
My wife has a flickr account. For several years, she's been paying an
annual fee, but a year or two ago, they raised the prices beyond
reasonable, so, she didn't renew it. The account is still available, but
there are very low limits on how much you can upload or show, or see.. I
don't remember the latest details.
If you have Amazon Prime, - you can use their photo storage for free, -
and display photos (you can organize them in albums) on the web, -
somewhat similar to flickr, but maybe with fewer organizational controls -
I didn't get into the details myself.
Yet another "free" alternative - is to use Google photos - you can store
up to 15 GB worth of files per the entire Google account (including Gmail,
G-drive, G-docs, etc.)
There are a few other websites that have free options - I don't know what
are the limits: Wix, 500px, SmugMug
A few more are listed here:

Hope that helps,

There are a range of issues with flickr, but if they still have the free
accounts, none of them should matter in this instance.
The free limit on Flickr is 1000 photos. I have been deleting some
"unnecessary" posts to keep below 1000 but it looks like I will either
have to go Pro or perhaps try a second free account with a different
e-mail address. Pro is $59.50/a which is SAR900/a - quite expensive.

Thanks Igor - that’s really useful info.
I’ve signed up with Flickr and with a free account I get to upload 1000 images. That’s absolutely fine as I just want to do some quick galleries of boatbuilding stuff, a hundred or so.
I do have Amazon Prime and I didn’t know about the photo hosting so will take a closer look at that too.
I saw Google did it but it needs access to my photos and contacts and God knows what, which I’m not prepared to do. I don’t backup in the cloud, I backup manually locally so they can suck it!!
Thanks again mate
