Flickr made a couple of changes, most notably removing any kind of integration with custom services, which has made it pretty useless to, so now I'm looking for another photo host.

Any ideas?

Dropbox.com has public picture gallery stuff, but it has no privacy controls or tagging etc. It's just a directory you put directories of photos into, and it makes public galleries for you.

Alternately, buy a basic dreamhost.com account and domain and easy install an open source photo gallery package?

Those seem to be the best options, IMO...

I just uploaded this into my photos directory from the iOS Dropbox app, and asked it for a link:

Same photo, outside of the photos directory:

http://db.tt/yWDJEk9

Yeah, as I thought, giving out the direct URL bypasses any security check.


I'm fairly sure there's an Android Dropbox app too with the same functionality.

Tap the uploaded photo, tap the chain links icon bit the lower left...

Oh, yeah, from the desktop app you rightclick or ctrlclick I think.

Not sure about from the website.

What kind of phone? I switched to Picasa because of the Android integration. It's not as nice as Flickr, but it's hard to beat a three-click interface. :)

Custom services like uploading? (Guessing from the theme of the comments above)
