online image storage needed,,, suggestions please

[trebor]

As the title says can anybody suggest some online image storage solutions?
This is probably the same as asking for large volume cheap web hosting (but I could be wrong)
The 100mb I get with my website is filling up fast with jpegs and I just wanted to check what else was out there before I upgrade my current hosting plan.
thanks

you could try webshots, www.webshots.com you only get a small amount of space for images if you go for the free account, but if you pay for the premium service, you get a hell of a lot more space.

EDIT: Free members are limited to 240 photos. Webshots Premium members can store up to 3,000 photos. Get more information about upgrading your account. Nothing will happen to the photos you've already uploaded to Webshots.

If you don't actually need to see them online but just be able to access & download them then Gmail gives away 1gb

Thats what I do as well! Makes searching for images a total breeze. And if anything nasty happens to your data its got a pretty good backup.

I did look before I posted but at 3.5 mb per picture even your 600mb package is tight on space and more than I wanted to pay. I have not ruled out your good value hosting yet though.

I have over 3gb of pictures (and over 36gb of avi), not all off which needs an online home but as you can see my space requirements are high and I would like to be able to stop being so choosy as to what I upload.

going to check out gmail and webshots now, but keep the suggestions coming please

Why does it have to be online ?? if you don't need access to them all the time a cheaper option might be a removable hard drive / caddy



EDIT: unless your looking at puting them on your website, just had a look if so forget my option

Thats a good option, and if you need them online, you could always stream them from your PC.....

Only a temporary solution (ie, for the next 12 months), but is $9 for a free domain name, 2400 MB diskspace & 120 GB p/month transfer up your street?
