Comment on Show HN: Raw Image Storage for photographers using S3 and Glacierparent

Comments

And if you're content with JPEG only (I assume it's not RAW, though I have no real way to test it).

Though tbh I've begun recommending Flickr over Picasa. Better (significantly) 3rd-party app support, 1TB is more than the vast majority will use in a long time, and it's easy to default everything to private if desired.

I find working with Flickr more cumbersome if you only use the web UI. For example, Flickr has a limit of 200 photos that you can upload in one batch, which is a problem when you have a slowish upload link (ADSL/cable).

Yeah, there are definitely some problems. But then G+ has problems too. I've had marginally better luck with Flickr's uploader fwiw (faster, fewer fatal errors for no reason), and the browsing experience is slower.

But if you're uploading lots of photos there are lots of tools out there for only Flickr that put both web UIs to shame, automatically retry, etc. The Picasa application is... surprisingly decent, but I've had worlds of pain with its buggy syncing, and it gives off a feeling of almost-abandonware.
