Account management is an issue for me and while it’s not favorable to have all your eggs in one basket, it’s also just easier to know that there are all these great services that are linked by your semi-universal accounts. The nice thing about Picasa and Flickr are that they use accounts I’ve already established with google and yahoo respectively.
#Flickr versus picasa upgrade
I won’t be making the upgrade to Gallery 2 since looking at Flickr/Picasa I can have potentially vastly larger storage space.Īnother image hosting place I haven’t looked at is photobucket so I’ll have to do some research there later. Gallery 1 limits me to the size of webspace storage I have using a flat file management system. Exist diferene n seturile de caracteristici pentru ambele servicii i modul n care au evoluat comunitile lor de utilizatori.

Picasa Web Albums este un serviciu similar freemium de la Google. Gallery 2 moves from flat file management to a database management and restricts me to the size of the database (which I only have one covering both WordPress and phpbb now) I use. Flickr este cel mai popular serviciu de distribuire de fotografii cu peste 5 miliarde de imagini. It generates albums based on the folder structure you’ve created then you can push images up to the web for online viewing. You get 1GB of storage online which seems like it’s more than enough for me. Crop, straighten, redeye reduction, auto contrast/color, effects such as sepia and glow are all included. The software you get from Google is really sophisticated and offers by far a greater set of tools to tweak your images. Picasa: This is a combination solution for on and offline photo management. I didn’t find any of the nice plugins for WordPress yet much to other user’s claims. Overall the experience is nice but very basic and straightforward. Flickr’s uploading utility is quite nice for batch uploads as well as new album creation. It seems to indicate 100MB per month so I dunno if it’s increased each month. Thanks!įlickr allows 100MB of storage with an option of purchasing a premium account for more space. If anyone has any insight on the various photo hosting solutions let me know. My image gallery may see some hiccups though (hopefully not since I don’t have any of those images backed up anymore) while I fiddle with the upgrade. So I’ll have to check into all of them and we’ll see. Picasa, I’ve heard, is an overall better experience though. Gallery is limited to what my webhost allows while the others may have significantly larger amounts of space.įrom initial glances, it looks like Flickr has far better support for things like WordPress integration.


I do need to know how easy it is to upload images, how many you can batch upload at a time (Gallery version I have limits to like 10 images at a time or something, it’s been a while), and how much storage space each one allows. Though I currently don’t have a lot of images, that may change in the future.
#Flickr versus picasa update
Currently I use Gallery, though it could use an update in version, but I’m looking at moving to Picasa or Flickr to host images.
