Unfortunately, there is no tagging, no printing and no way to edit photos online. Dropbox does offer a free collaborative editing tool, called Dropbox Paper , that is rather like Google Docs, but this doesn't offer photo-editing features. As such, Dropbox is a good option for photographers who want to back up photos, but not for those who want to catalog and permanently store their images.
Here is a list of all of Dropbox's storage plans. The big kahuna of social sites also offers a surprisingly good set of photo storage, sharing and editing tools, with some caveats. After uploading photos from a cellphone, web browser or desktop client, you can create albums, add captions and tag photos by date, location or the people in the pictures.
Face recognition has also been added; it will try to recognize the faces in your shots and tag those people if they are on Facebook. However, Facebook does shrink the images to fit onto the page; Facebook recommends sizing pictures to or pixels wide. You can use pixel-wide images if you select the high-quality upload option, but if the image is larger than kb, it will get compressed for viewing.
Another downside is that there is no way to share the original-size photo. But if a lot of your family members and friends are already on Facebook, it's a great way to share casual shots or family photos. To find out which photo sites offer the best bang for your buck, we tested a number of them by uploading an assortment of photos from our camera reviews, tagging and organizing them as the site recommended. We also evaluated how well a site's auto-tagging feature worked, if available, and looked at if a site stored our images at their full resolution.
We then looked at the various ways we could share and print photos, to determine which site offers the best and easiest-to-use range of features. Also part of our evaluation was the cost of storage, for both free and paid tiers. While this wasn't the determining factor — organizational and sharing features were given a higher priority — it did count in our overall rating. With all those factors considered, we were able to compile our list of the best photo storage sites.
Michael A. The best photo storage and sharing sites are an essential part of any photographer's digital kitbag — whether you're a professional or just take pictures of your cat on your phone. IDrive - the best photo cloud storage right now.

Google won't allow direct data transfer and this is for my benefit.
Has nothing to do with the more you put on their cloud, the more opportunity they will have a chance to charge you. Downloading a different app doesn't help. It poses your content as if you should blessed to have to bend heaven to access it more. By Annie Mchenry. I absolutely Hate this app! I have to take and send pictures for my job. It's been a nightmare. I can't organize the photos. I can't share them where I need to. I think those that are giving it 5 stars are probably being paid to give good reviews like Amazon does.
This app is ridiculous! By Patchouli Dragonsblood. Forces you to pay for space by deleting things off your phone once they've been backed up. Once tour storage is full easy to do with junk videos , delete stuff off your phone that has been backed up and then it deletes it on Google because they are synced.
No option to unsync. I am going through court with an abusive partner and he's sabotaged my evidence by exploiting this loophole in Google. Thanks for that haha. These abusers KNOW. By Kamesh V.

It's only photos. No political posts, no goofy dances, just awesome photographers sharing their best, creative, wonderful thought provoking photographic work.

Integration of suggestions for other photographers that I might be interested in is great.
Much Improved Mar 24, By Rod Neil. The Team keeps improving the site, and maybe they will come up with a solution. Other than that, there are many great photographers on the site with lots of inspiration to draw from, and I highly recommend this app!
By iMonkglen. Removal of courses, and destruction of archive of courses, leads me to believe that you do not value use input and that your organization has chosen to precipitously dispose of one of the major reasons I joined. However, the courses were poor in quality and I do not think you should be getting any credit for having had them in the first place.
I ask for a refund. Worldwide Input Apr 11, By miamisailor. I start most days with a coffee early in the morning when things are quiet and spend some time on px viewing new images and also periodically posting my own work.
I benefit also by viewing the exif data as to camera and lens used, aperture, shutter speed, ISO. Best photos Oct 28, By RadicalSci. As a painter, I use this app to find the most compelling images for subject material. Keyword searches and the ability to see all the work by a particular photographer are pluses, although I wish I could figure out how to set up my feed so that I see the work of photographers I follow.
Also allows you to post your own images and to create customized galleries of your own work or simply photos you like. I use it to stash images I like for future painting projects. By Kongafett. Unfortunately, evening gets compared to Instagram regarding photo sites.
What I like about px is that I get to see a considerable amount of photographers from overseas. I also enjoy the feature that allows one to see what camera and settings were used to take the image. There are so many people on px using older cameras, and getting amazing shots.
I love it. The only downside is the implementation of tags as apposed to Instagram. Oct 25, By Adheesh Saxena. Every since the update, it has been crashing for me. I am unable to launch the app. Not sure what the cause here is. I have tried cleaning up app cache etc. Nothing works. Was really good; last update deleted my account Jan 1, By John Palacios. I have been using this service for years. The issue started when I updated my iPad app. Yep, my account was then reset and when I went to the website to login - my account was gone there too.
So no more px account and now that I have to decide if I really liked the service enough to bother to set everything back up again Your mileage my vary. Mar 2, By Fgr I love the quality of some of the work you see here. Lots to learn from. Great contributors from all over the world. It just seems very inconsistent. I am convinced there is some hidden bias in their grading algorithms.
Needs serious fixing May 15, By ellusionx This app is so broken is needs a major update. You can only upload one image at a time from the main screen. Once you upload the photos, your profile page says there are no photos uploaded.
You want to upload a cover picture to your profile? Sorry, your upload has failed. Gallery Favorites? Sorry, but 2 stars until I am able to actually use to apps full functionality. Jul 25, By Cross Hogg. Its easy to use. I signed up for a subscription and wanted to monetize my images.

What happened Jul 29, By Snook When I first joined, the sight was pretty good. Now with recent updates The views and likes are so messed up it is of no use. Out of focus and just generally crappy photos seem to be ranking much higher than actual photos. Seems they are going down hill.
Save yourself the time and money. Try YouPic instead. Almost perfect Jan 6, By Chjsbny. I really like this app and the photographic community that supports it. Compared to some other similar apps e. The actual upload process for pictures could be a little easier, especially for keywords - although the app suggests keywords, most are either repeated variations or just irrelevant, while it does not seem to recall your past often-used keywords from your galleries.
Still, overall this is a great app and an enthusiastic, welcoming and discerning photographic community! Oct 17, By A Google user. Wonderful website, nice app. Wish that you could long press and download photos.
Instead you need a separate app and to jump through hoops to get it done. People that post their photography online have copyrights, but they should expect that people will download their work to use on their desktop or enjoy and organise in their own way. As long as they aren't downloading and selling, or claiming the work as their own. As stated earlier, there are ways to download photos from this site, they should make the function easy instead of trying to prevent it.
Just my opinion. Jun 14, By Cooper Gilbert. It's a great idea that allows photographers to meet and show off their work. My issues with the app version is loading. It doesn't update your feed nor does it update when someone likes your post. Can take hours to load. Thanks for a great idea, hope to see it work better soon!
Would be 5 stars IF.. Jun 2, By dbvapor. I could only figure out how to create Galleries. I had to go to the website on mobile to do it. I also love that my photos got exposure much quicker than on Instagram. And I feel like these are actual photographers not influencers and bots. So far so great! Just NEED the option to create galleries and add our own photos to them. It will make a world of difference. Flickr interface better Nov 22, By Kyaecker.
My photos reach popular all the time yet I never see them in the popular feed. Or any feed for that matter. Flickr has a tighter and better design. Flickr displays photos more ascetically, scrolls smoothly not like px app. One of the downsides to Photobucket is that not all of their tools are available, depending on which subscription tier you choose.
Check out Photobucket. While anyone can upload their pictures to px, where the site really excels is with professional and aspiring photographers. In fact, they claim that their search algorithm works to highlight the work of new members so that more experienced users can offer feedback and help.
