It seems google drive is going away in June of 2021, so I would like to hear what other sites or apps are people using? I currently have a dropbox account (3.2 gb is free) and I have a onedrive app which is good for accessing photos. Google Drive has been heavily relied upon because it offered 15 gb for free.

I have a scandisk for 64 gb, but I have a whole lot of photos and even that isn't enough. Has anyone used instagram or any other large app for storing photos?

I use apple so I have a 2TB space up on iCloud. I also find myself getting old pictures I posted on FB and looks like that was also a storage space of sorts, accessible nearly everywhere.

This, though my count is apparently about 10,500 per their analytics. That won't ever grow any lower. I have a non-commercial account that costs some reasonable amount/year.

"Free sites" are worthless for photos. Not that there is a guarantee SmugMug will exist forever, but I've been with them I think close to twenty years and so far so good. Look at all the dumb broken links here from "Photo Bucket" or whatever garbage people were using. Looks like most of them are crawled and terminated, fortunately, but it's not too clever.
